Dear Barbara,
Hugs and good vibes to you, and a prayer to the cosmic powers for your steadfastness and for your success in getting a fair settlement.
Here's hoping your lawyer contacts you with the good news that your offer was accepted, so you can avoid the court hassle.
(The new shoes will still be handy for a less nerve-wracking occasion! We still would love a picture of them though. Maybe you can distract yourself for a little while, doing that?
