Just a real quick update as I did not sleep at all last night due to the percocet. I woke chris up trying to strangle him on three occassions, as I felt like I was paralyzed and drowning all night.

-On the tailbone front, I could not get in for the xray today. Will go tomorrow, hoping for results on Monday, though I am sure they will be non diagnostic as it is unlikely something that will show on an xray.

-Chris went into Chilliwack for his final release appointments there, and was told they received word this morning that he was approved for his extension request. We have no details on how long the extension is set for, and we assume they are waiting to receive word back from the private clinic to know when surgery will be... Since it seems they will go private clinic, it will likely be very soon.

-No release is good news on our income front as we will not suffer the financial hit yet, but it is still inevitable, just gives us a little longer to have some breathing room.

-No release means no trip to Victoria, a bit of a bummer as we were really looking forward to the night away at a nice hotel, but we will get to anyways at whatever point they do decide to release him. Luckily, the Bedford was very nice and waived the mandatory 48 hour cancellation policy for us.

-No release also may mean no RRSP... If Chris is released before 3 years served time, he would receive all his pension pay in, in a lump sum into an RRSP. After 3 years, he instead receives a pension. Good in one way as it would be a higher payout over time, a let down in another as we were hoping the $6000.00 would be a good chunk towards a home purchase in the next 5 years.

-No release could mean that when he is released, we will be less burdened... If he reaches the 3 year point on Oct.29, he gets an annual pay increase, which means that we will get slightly more per month than if he were to release right now, not a huge difference, maybe an extra $140 a month, but that's something.

-No release increases the amount of time he has to complete his schooling, which is one of the main reasons we were hoping for it.

-Haven't heard from Kristie in afew days, feeling very anxious for her to feel better soon. I hate that she is so unwell.

-My sister donated a newer model laptop to the organization that she was able to receive through a connection at the UBC laptop refurbishing program. It is much faster than the previous laptop, which is very exciting. The previous laptop will stay in organization possesions as I am sure it will be used in the near future for other board members.

-Non profit paper work is finally done and will be mailed out tomorrow. WOO HOO!

-Hoping to get going on fundraiser planning in the next week. Tickets will be available soon, check the website www.ycsc.ca for more details, under events.

Good night all.
