My time is precious; yet wasted every day

Seventeen days.  1-7 days since my last post.  What has happened?  Oh so much.  My visa has come through allowing me to be a "provisional resident."  Whoot whoot!!!  I'm so extremely excited about that.  My travel and work restrictions has been lifted.  It was a torturous 5 1/2 months, one that I can't feel as though I've learned anything about anything.  My stress levels were extremely elevated, the relationship of the Boy and I was put to a massive test.  It didn't bring us closer.  Our relationship isn't better off because of it.
