A New Number

My agency told me in December that they would provide me with an updated number, or my number in the line to a referral.  With the issue of the psychology report we weren't sure whether I had stayed in line or not.  This week I recieved by new number and I now know that my file was removed or other files moved ahead.  My number is now higher then it was before so I have move farther back from the front.  However, I haven't moved that far back.  I am still quiet close to the front. 

As for the length of time to referral, I do think it will happen this year.  The questions is when.  I was told in September that it would probably be within six months but that was before the psychology report fiasco.  So really, I need to start counting all over again.  And, now that I am farther back in the list, I think the time will be longer.  I am not worrying about this though.  If I got a referral by summer, I would be very happy.  I might start getting impatient if I don't have one by fall.  But only time will tell.

A Late Happy New Year

Happy New Year!! Finally I can post this.  It has been a little difficult for me to post anything lately because I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER.   Well, I do have one, but it has been in for repair for over TWO WEEKS weeks and I think I will have to wait another week yet.  My Mom did lend me her little note book computer but it wouldn't hook up to the internet.  Finally I have worked that issue out and I can get back on line. 

Christmas seems long ago now.  We stayed home and my parents and sister came.  My sister did most of the cooking which made life easy for me.  We hung around home for the next few days after Christmas and then I went back to work. 

Ali woke up early this year, at 5 am.  I thought it was the dogs who were restless early but it was Ali who woke them up.  By the time I got up at six she had emptied the stocking and had already used the modelling clay to create a sculpture.  She enjoyed the gifts of course. 

New Years was uneventful.  The only memorable thing was that I actually stayed up til midnight this year.  And that was only because I was trying to fix my Mom's internet.

So its onto the new year.  I am really hoping and praying that this will be the year I get a referral.  I think I have waited long enough.
