Speed Bumps

It's Friday here already and everyone is gearing up for the weekend.  I was hoping to have heard back today from a couple of companies I interviewed with but nothing yet.  I can't help but feeling super discouraged.  I had another doctor's appointment but my test results are still not clear of whatever it is/was in my kidneys so we are going to re-test in a couple of weeks and hope that I get the "A-OK" which will then be passed on to Medibank so I can check that part of the visa application off.

I'm still waiting on the FBI to get back to me, but I did just get the application from the State of NY Department of Criminal Justice for a background clearance letter.  Yes, I not only have to be cleared federally but also on the State level.  So another fingerprinting session will be taking place next week.

Another nice new speed bump is our apartment searching.  I've been looking for the last few weeks to get ideas but am just starting to go to inspections this week.  It turns out quite a few (as in all the ones I love) don't accept dogs.  I had 6 awesome places lined up to see and thought I should probably call the realtors just to make sure and alas, no pets allowed.  We are looking at two more tomorrow so we'll see.  My Aussie keeps saying "time is on our side" but the lease is up at our current spot the first week of March.  I'm getting a little nervous but trying to have faith that something is going to give here soon.
