things are looking up...

(That's a Gershwin song.)

First, thanks for understanding my frustration. My agency actually wrote and said they didn't understand why I was upset about this. Yeah.

Second, my paperwork has actually been found. It's in the office here...but isn't translated. They seem to think since we're not accredited, it doesn't matter. Um...how about doing a little work ahead of time?

Third, the person who would accept my documents in Leningrad Oblast is away on vacation until July. (Must be nice, eh?) SO, I actually cannot register there as an independent.

And (here's the part the other waiting pap's will like to hear...) since they think we will have our re-accred before then, I am just going to wait and file in St. P (more children on the database and more connections and more understanding of how things work, judge's preferences, etc.) when it happens. If July rolls around and we're still not accredited, then I'll file independently. (This rec is from V. whose opinion I trust.)

Lastly, my mouse isn't working. This means I cannot do anything online. I hope to have a new mouse soon. So, if you're not hearing back from me when you've e-mailed, now you know why. (This post was composed at school.)

Thank you again for all your co-miserations! I can't wait until we have co-celebrations!
