what an answer to prayer. i can't even begin to tell you how relieved i am to be done and over with the home affairs office...
also, moira has spent most of the afternoon on the phone in pretoria and here to get my bank account figured out. by friday i'm told i'll be able to access my money. what a praise....
o dear goodness....
it makes me giddy from the thought.
since september i've had my "non-resident" account at a local bank. but through various circumstances i've never been able to access my money.
literally.
all my support has come in...and sat in the account.
i had to almost completed deplete my entire savings account in the US and use up some "fun" gift money my dad left when he was here to stay afloat.
its been a constant run around with the management, getting letters and documents, all for nothing...
every once in awhile they would unfreeze a portion (less than $200, always) and i'd quickly withdraw and use it to pay back "loans" i've accumulated. but i've been told that come friday i should be not only a temporary resident but one with a useable bank account!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

if you had to pick one movie character to describe yourself who would you choose? my mom asked me recently to describe my friends here in movie terms so she could "know" them better and its been fun thinking of characters to relate to real friends. so.....is there a character you feel close to? who? and why?!?!
(i'm still thinking of one for myself...)

the boys were sick this past weekend and still are...today it is headed my way with a vengeance. its amazing to me with how healthy i am now (compared to a few years ago), how easily i still can catch anything...but at least i don't "start" things anymore. i am very dizzy and walking into walls and hate talking from the pain in my throat. pray i wake up refreshed. thanks :)
