Ranned away like some sort of drunken machete

I had such a lovely day planned for myself today. Trip to the movies (I haven’t been since last Sunday… and I’ve been wanting to go again since Thursday so I feel like I’ve been waiting forever! Plus, if it is going away after the 2 weeks {I don’t know if it is here or not} I need to see it at least once more) and a look around the mall and maybe a delicious beverage…

But that didn’t happen as I woke up feeling… not too great. Actually, I felt fine, but needed to be near a place with a bathroom just in case. So I stayed home, which even though it is what I do all the time, it felt rather boring.

I ended up buying a few things online with some of my birthday money. So now I have 3 packages coming in the next week or so, and one that will arrive in December some time. I think that one I bought with christmas money.

This afternoon I found a letter from USCIS in the mailbox. With big letters above the address: BOTH MUST ATTEND. I’m glad that was made so obvious, because this is what I was hoping for. A face-to-face interview. I know we don’t have enough in the way of paperwork to prove that we are a legitimate, very in love married couple. But I am very confident in how obviously in love we are when you see us in person. So next Wednesday at 10:30am we get to do that.

Much better than the time we went to Sydney to get me a visa to move here, and our appointment was super-early. I remember it being at 8am or something? So we were exhausted because sleep didn’t happen much the night before because of nerves. And lack of breakfast made the time go realllllly slow, so by the time we were out of there at 11:30 I was ready to collapse on the floor. But overall that went well, because we were just sitting in a waiting room for 4 hours, being sleepy and cute and in love, waiting… spoke to someone for less than 5 minutes and BAM visa. So hopefully this will be just as smooth but nowhere near as long. And I will have eaten, because I can now eat as soon as I wake! (BIG achievement for me!)

And depending on how long it takes, we might just say nuts to Jake potentially going back to work that day, and lets go to the movies again. Assuming it will still be playing.

9 days. I can wait 9 days, yes? Ooh, and that weekend will be our thanksgiving. I better not forget that. Mmm… multiple things to think about, that’s a much better way to do things! I’m getting rather yargh I’m doing thanksgiving this year! but I will have the help of my lovely mother in law so that’s awesome. Now I just need to think of some veggie dishes….

title: I wish I could remember why I said that. It was only this evening I said it. Neither of us ran away… even to the other room. So it makes no sense. It’s a bit like that random paragraph in yesterday’s entry…
