Warning- this is my few minutes of whining

According to Yahoo news:
Russia cut off all gas supplies to Europe through Ukraine on Wednesday, playing hardball in a weeklong standoff that has left more than a dozen countries struggling to cope with dwindling energy supplies in the depths of winter.
The U.S. put the blame squarely on Russia, accusing Moscow of using its energy resources to threaten its neighbors.
But Prime Minister Vladimir Putin endorsed the move, even as factories shut down in eastern Europe, schools closed and tens of thousands of people scrambled to find other ways of keeping warm.
Insisting that Ukraine was responsible for the crisis, Putin appeared determined to force Kiev to back down and accept increased prices for natural gas. The two sides were to meet Thursday in the first face-to-face talks since negotiations broke down on New Year's Eve.
The effects of the gas cutoff reverberated across the continent, with Bulgaria, the EU's poorest member, among the worst hit. Croatia declared a state of emergency and Hungary instituted gas rationing for industries. The situation in Bosnia was so dire that woodcutters revved up their chain saws to cut wood for fireplaces.

Also, we were told by Holt today that USCIS is backed up 90 days in processing the I800A forms. 90 Days!!! 3 whole months!!! We are about 3 weeks from submitting our I800A. I was beginning to feel so close to submitting our dossier that I could taste it. So disappointing. I just want to get over there and bring our daughter home where I don't have to worry about her shivering at night and having to bathe in frigid water.
