Two huge stresses have been relieved from my mind:
1. A paper idea. I'm to present a paper in a few weeks time, and all summer I have been thinking about it and coming up with squat.  Yesterday, after praying, inspiration hit me. So very relieved!
2. My FAFSA finally came through, now allowing me to grab my kit and caboodle and head up to Durham now very shortly.  This has been a trauma and drama and I'm so glad for it to be sorted!
