I can feel your frustration and I know this all seems to be moving at a snail’s pace. A slog, yes that’s a really good term!
I empathize because this is one of those situations that you just want behind you and you’re helpless to make it move along faster. But it is moving, in the right direction. So now’s the time to use some diversion tactics to wait it out! Didn’t you say your husband is an artist? There must be some art supplies around. Grab some waterproof pens, watercolor, brush and paper and let your creative side take over! The past few days I made a much of paper beads. Then yesterday I made journal for a friend’s birthday and used some of my silly beads to embellish it. Thankfully she’s not a perfectionist either! 🙃 What’s your creative outlet?
