Still Waiting

Still no word on our letter of seeking confirmation. We are on day 27 from submitting our letter of intent to adopt Xiao Yu. The average is about 30 days. My friend waited 40 days. So hopefully we'll hear something in the next week or so. Then we can start making preparations for the travel.

I think I must be crazy. I finally found someone to do the work on my bathroom after needing it updated for a couple of years. They are starting in September. Like I needed more decisions and life upheaval right now! Anyway, I am excited about it. Friends of ours are agents for plumbing fixtures and heating suppliers, so they had lots of ideas and can get me some good deals. One of my clients does some interior design work and her husband is a handyman. They are going to help me with the design and do most of the work. For me, things either happen or they don't, and I have learned to just go with it when it does, and not question it. It happened that way when we bought our house and went through the adoption with Maya. It happened that way whenever I have bought a car. Anything major just happens, and no matter how hard I fight to have things happen at a different time or if I try to make a choice that is not good, I meet up with so many obstacles that it just does not happen. It kind of makes it easier to realize how things work in your life, then you can just go with it. Now I just have to work on not getting so stressed about things!
