Violent fizzicle exercise is a good way to mute disappointment, si Niki-B. ma'am.

It's hard when the little ones are sick, sigh man.

Thought, think we man:  shouldn't the term more accurately be "threw OUT" or "threw FORWARD," huh man?

Well after the first 2 times there was nothing left so it was just out and not forward.

Awoke having sweated some, how dry we aren't man.

Started feeling lousier within a couple of hours, sigh man.

And we're now out of our cache of amoxicillin from Mexico, drat man.

 

However, customers need, want, & deserve their pre-owned toilet seats, always man.

We are therefore in the POTS office, filling orders, accommodating we man.

Sales quotas to meet, etc., secondary reasons man.

Then the term for the act should be flexibly altered to suit the situation, logic man.

I remember it took about 8 weeks from when USCIS approved our case to when we could file the ds-261. Then it took 2 more weeks before we received the IV bill, which i presume meant the ds-261 was reviewed but I'm not sure. I remember some people were submitting the AOS package immediately upon filing the ds-261. We took things serially and actually had a 2 week delay in sending the package after we paid the IV bill. Once the AOS package was sent off, there was another 1 month wait until we received the "case closed" message from NVC. Then, of course, another 2 month wait for an interview to be scheduled at the embassy.

 

The waiting sucked, but I think you already know that. Wishing you the best!

Yup! I thought the 10 and a half month wait in USCIS was hard, but to think we have around 6 more months to go? it truly sucks. 

Also, there's a lot of people from Mexico, so the waiting period for an interview is aprox. 4 months... ugh. I hope it's not that long and we can make it in less time, but if it comes to that we don't really have an option, we've come this far. I really wish there was still a way to enter the US once your application is approved and you're just waiting for an interview. It's unfair to think that a lot of people just enter on tourist VISAS, marry and get to adjust together,  even get interview dates, while many of us are stuck in a long-distance marriage. Many of these people require waivers because they've entered illegally, overstayed for years, have DIU's... It is what it is, unfortunately.

No husband.  

His friend got an email forwarded from the district director saying people would be returning. So instead of flying home and back he decided to stay with a lot of convincing from friend. 

Friend of course doesnt want to go home.  Hubs, however, is actually annoyed and did since he misses his family.  Miss him too.  

I should go work out this morning. 

no husband either  for like... 5 more months at least. thank you, US immigration. 

 

yay for working out! you have my full support. If you ever need an exercise buddy even if we are far away, I would love to help.

Awoke to find both of cat's little fuzzy balls on bedroom floor, special delivery by miu man.

Cat probably hoped that Daddy would get out of bed to play with her, poor miu man.

P-math adjustment, see D2 ma'am.

At this point of marriage (and at earlier points), we could see being wifeless for Many months, envision we man.

This would enable open-ended consorts with the rubias, harem of Many (2+2+2) imaginary blondes man.

[TBoneTX 45,312]

Forgot to mention the following, almost too tragic to bring up man.

Mrs. T-B. somehow got pancake syrup all over the outside of the bag of cat-treats, sticky situation man.

Now, we must pour out treats directly into cat-bowl vs. into our hand, strong risk of excess spillage man.

Cat, of course, does not object in the slightest to inadvertent servings at overdose levels, ecstatic miu man.

[TBoneTX 45,312]

Similarly, broken record man:

Mrs. T.-B. (of course) didn't close the bottle of honey and (of course) left it on its side on the counter, leakage man.

The hormigas del azucar (sugar-ants) that we fought so hard to subdue now have an all-day buffet, sigh man.

[TBoneTX 45,312]

Mrs. T-B. has a prophetic sign prominently posted, see and sigh man:

 

No haré nada en la cocina hoy, ningún hombre. Mañana tampoco, ningún hombre.

 

(I will do nothing in the kitchen today, no man.  Tomorrow neither, no man.)

Ciudada-NA America-NA...

great day at pole fitness!

I've been working on the fireman and I was able to do a new one, it's tough because I have to carry my own weight and yeeeeah, that's not easy.

I have a sexy collection of bruises though. Excited about the gym tonight,  I think it's arm day which is good, I need to work on my strength for sure.

 

Went to the mercado after the class and bought Dorado fish, (also known as mahi mahi or lampuga ) what a delicious fish! I'm making it with

butter and garlic only, yum. I also bought a full chicken and we're making some caldo de pollo as well. 

 

I'm learning to experience food and make it a priority, to nurture my body with it instead of causing harm. 

Using these additional 5 or so months to improve myself, learn recipes, workout and get out of my creative rut. Going great so far!

Minus points for Texas.  We only get bugs maybe 3 months a year here.

At least when you enter, you can sort of just begin your new life right away and not have to live in limbo in a foreign country.  That can be stressful in and of itself.  We lived together the whole time, but I still found the whole thing very stressful and annoying.
