What next? And other things.

What next? I ask. What next indeed. Today it is snowing, we had about 2 feet of snow over night and the backdoor is blocked, fortunately the front door is openable, if we need to go out, but I doubt that we will. K is not working today, so we will spend the day together, something we haven't done in a while it seems. It is nice when you find someone that you can be with in silence, no words are necessary, but then again you can talk about anything that comes to mind. I am sure that today we will cover numerous topics, including her ex, her cousins, her daughter, her mother, my mother, my neice, my BIL, the snow. But it is all good. Just being together is the most important part of it all, and being snowed in makes it just that much better, no one will drop in, and there is no reason to go out. Well except I should shovel off the deck, but that can wait till it stops snowing. My car is completely buried too LOL! Just as well we won't be driving that for a few more months eh?

So what is next? Well I guess more waiting. Waiting for Immigration to reach my part of the priority pile. I had to laugh last night when they were saying that they would expedite the immigration for those people from Asia who suffered in the tsunami. At the end of the report, having said that they were going to expedite the immigration applications, they then said that people would be able to move here in a year! Which is probably about right. I wonder if I have to wait another 6 months before I hear anything? I hope not, I really do hope not. I think it is about time that the Canadian government made a decision about what they want here, because having reduced the requirements for immigration in an attempt at inducing more people to want to come here, they are now so backed up that it is taking some people 2 or 3 years to get their paperwork! Which is ridiculous! Why aren't the government taking on more officials to deal with the extra applications that they themselves have caused? Oh yes come to Canada, it is even easier to immmigrate here now! You only need to score 67 points on our eligibility scale to come in! Instead of the previous 75! Of course it will take 5 years before you can come in! It is quicker to get a green card in the States! So we will continue to wait. For as long as it takes. To live on the edge of poverty, K can't earn enough to pay our bills, so we have to live off savings, in the meantime there is nothing that I can do to earn money, so I have to sit at home, not spending, which isn't difficult, and wait. Perhaps I could learn to twiddle my thumbs.
