The best news ever!

It's amazing how one phone call can change your entire attitude.  I'm dancing now with my spirit because I just got some really good news:

I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.  Laughing.  I'm actually joking again, which amazes me.

No, the real good news is I am finally at the top of the waiting list of the building I want to move into!  The top!  It seems the story goes that the old person that was in charge of residents there got fired without telling my brother-in-law anything about it.  So e-mails were going unanswered, etc..  So my brother-in-law went over there yesterday to find out what was going on.  Then the lady in the position is nice but told him they had no record of me being on their waiting list.  My brother-in-law saw red.  He went home and found the e-mail that proved in hard copy that I had been on the waiting list since early 2006.  He went back, but before he could even say anything the lady said "oh, look at that.  She's now at the top of the list."

Happiness!  It still is a little bit of a wait, because people don't die there as often.  So it could be four weeks or four months.  But at least now there is light at the end of the tunnel again, which had been taken away from me yesterday in one of their stupid care planning meetings, where they said that foster care was a dwindling option.

It sounds corny, but it just goes to show that no one should ever give up hope.  I feel alive again all of a sudden.  I will keep everyone updated.
