I've been on unpaid leave from work since my expiration on 8/17 my DL also expried that day. I am trying not to stress. When it's out of our control, worrying about it won't really do us much good. We just make our calls to USCIS and push in the direction we can.

These are some things that have helped to keep me sane.

Suggestions
- I've created a vacation to do list of long standing things around the house I have not yet completed.
- We could take the time to learn a new skill, improve current skill, or set up a portfolio.
-Also I might take the time to do a few interviews in case my current company lets me go. Finding a job takes a few weeks, and you can also push out your start date to untill after your DACA arrives.

I am not trying to belittle your situation, some of us have real bills and serious obligations to meet. I am trying to encourage us to make the best of it.

Religious or not check out the Serenity Prayer:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
