My husband is short of seriously never checking the mail again. He doesn't want to feel disappointment every single time he opens the mailbox, so he's starting to leave it to me (gee, thanks!). I don't mind it, but I obviously share the same emotions with him. I called immigration on Tuesday, thanks to them having a nice holiday on Monday (don't get me started), and I was told exactly what I knew I would be told: keep waiting. At least everything is still fine. We're not stuck in name check or anything, so I can't really complain. It's just because the St. Paul office is incredibly slow and doesn't give a hoot. Just one more reason to love it here!
Unrelated, but I feel like I am such a bad friend/person sometimes. I found out that one of my friends is pregnant, and while I was really surprised and excited for her, I was overcome by jealousy to start. I want to experience that joy and excitement with my husband so much, but it really isn't our time right now. If nothing else, we don't even have insurance because of my job switch, so that's a big no-no in my book. We do have our little family plan, so hopefully, we'll be able to stick pretty close to it. ^^;; I am over the jealousy now, by the way. I got to see her the next day (yesterday), and it was just so good to spend time with her and chat. There is truly a reason why jealousy is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. -.-;
What else...I know I had more I wanted to type...
Well, on the insurance note, I am not too thrilled with Target's options. I really miss my old company's coverage because I was able to make sense of it and felt it was relatively inexpensive as far as insurance goes. Here, the premiums are higher, copays are higher, blah blah blah, there are way too many confusing options, but hey! Generic prescriptions are only $4! Like that's supposed to comfort me when I see how much is coming out of each of my paychecks. ;~; Oh, well. I am just choosing whatever is going to be best in terms of having a baby, so yeah. We had a new hire benefits orientation yesterday, and I chose to leave early and go to another meeting I had scheduled. I was getting so frustrated and upset with not understanding that I was biting me lip raw. (Some people pick their nails, pull their ears, twist their hair...I generally bite my lip.) I'm just going to have to get some special individual attention, lol. It just goes right over my head.
Anyway, I am finishing up my break, but more later, perhaps. ^^;;
