Sunday
It’s almost 2 and I’m just getting started on studying. Ugh! I have to get it together. So now for the update:
1) No news from AILA, except an email saying they forwarded my WTH inquiry to the membership director and I should get a response this week.
2) Met with the immigration lawyer yesterday. Bad news is it could go over $5k (5k only gets us 27 hours at her 180/hour rate), but I volunteered to pull cases, transcribe yesterday’s interview tape, serve as typist/cite checker for her brief, etc. — basically anything that will help us reduce costs. Added bonus is the chance to get some experience and an inside view. 
Good news is that she has found a U.S. Supreme Court case on point and basically thinks that the omission was immaterial, so hopefully she can argue that successfully.
3) Still feeling great! Yay Cymbalta! I meet with the neurologist on Thursday morning to find out what, if anything, they can do to stop further damage. I know I should be more worried about that, but after two months of constant, increasing pain, I’m just happy to feel good enough to actually get up and out of the house.
4) On that note, I took Pumpkinhead to Build a Bear Workshop yesterday. We had a blast making him a horse called Neela with a red/white spotted heart and a ROAR sound. He named the horse “Neela.” Also picked up some makeup during Clinique’s bonus time. Hooray for the energy to run errands I’ve been putting off for weeks.
Pumpkinhead must have heard me blogging about him because he just burst through the door calling, “Cuddle time!” So much for Chapin keeping him downstairs. I’m off to remind Chapin of his Sunday duties and grab an apple for sustenance and then it is time to get down to work!

Ooh! Is it Clinique bonus time again?!?! That’s the only time I will actually buy make-up, I’m so stinkin’ cheap. (The effects of being broke!)
I’m glad you’re still feeling good!
