A watched pot never boils ...

The old adage seems to be holding true for me at this point in my life. Day after day I keep hoping to hear that Texas has set a release date now that the paperwork has made it's way through the pipeline of the bureaucratic nightmare that is the TDCJ. The last word I had was that they had to do another review and that it would be 1 to 3 weeks. It seems to me that it has been much longer than that and I'm sure that for DeJ the same is multiplied my thousands. So, to another adage, "Patience is a virtue". I hope that DeJ and I are both becoming more virtuous every day.

Ask, knock, etc ...

It happened just the way is should. Yesterday I was poised, ready for action in case nothing happened. Today, it happened. The house passed, paperwork is on it's way back to Texas via Salem and DeJ should be here in less than two weeks. Relief is the only word I can think of at the moment.

Did you ever have that feeling, that something just wasn't right?

Something just doesn't feel right and I'm just not sure what it is. Everything is set and ready for the first domino to fall but yet I feel that there is something holding everything back, like a dam, and I can't figure out who is in charge of the flood gate. It's not just about me. It's about my nephew first and foremost. And it's about his mom too. And it's about me and my future. If I don't hear something tomorrow I'm going down to the office in Oregon City and make my presence known so they can't ignore me and the situation at hand.

If it was just about me I could be patient and wait it out. But this has gone on way too long and if it is not resolved soon DeJ might have to wait another year ... and that would mean that I would too.

So, now that I have put that out into the universe we will see what comes of it. In the words of Ren Hoak "Maybe something good, maybe something bad."
