Yeah, I feel like this stressful process is cutting my life short. I am so taking up ALL THE YOGA once I'm all moved and settled to try and make up for it. Haha. I need to try and get my body and mind into a state of zen.

For alternatives to yoga, I highly recommend

Ice cream

Chocolate

Wine

I've personally tried all of them and they each get a 5 star rating.

For a remedy not personally tested, the notion of tearing wildly down the street at midnight and kicking trash cans could have potential as a stress buster.

LOL! YES!

Actually pizza, Netflix and Smartfood popcorn have been my vices over the past month. Every time I drive by my gym now I just look and think, "I love you - but I've chosen darkness..." and keep driving.

It was apparently down for maintenance last night. Considering how regularly they conduct maintenance on their website, it's quite incredible how frequently it malfunctions

Between the anxiety and the amount of alcohol I've drank, I'm wondering if I'll make it to my 30's! ?

THIS! Told the fiancé I was joining yoga classes as soon as I move.. Body is mad at me now :P

I did my waiting! 9 months of it.. IN TSC!

Days that I feel super mega depressed, i try to think of all the ways im lucky :)

I'm lucky he's with me right now. It just sucks that I still can't fully enjoy it because I'm too worried and wrapped up in hoping that this all goes through before his six month visa is up. We're at our 2 month mark rn. I really need him to be here with me for our interview.. I need his strength.. He grounds me and calms me.

There's no real, clear pattern to how they work. We sat and watched for weeks while the petitions with NOA1 and receipt dates the same as ours and all around ours got approved and ours, along with a couple of others in August, just sat there. Someone with the same received and NOA1 dates as ours was approved last week - over a month after our petition got to an adjudicator.

I am actually happy that I got an RFE. I know it means that I did not get approved yet ... but at least someone it looking at my file. :-)

On April 24, 2015, we suspended processing of your case, blah blah blah.

I was expecting this. They probably need a signed letter of intent for my fiancee. (I am glad I got her to get a wet signature on one the last time I was in Brazil)

I feel the wheels of justice turning in my direction finally.
