UGH! I've been (im)patiently waiting for a response as well. Submitted my application in less than a minute pass 12pm so I should be good. Emailed Jan asking for a date on which we would hear by and she informed me that it will (probably) be towards the end of October. So, I figure that (like you) I won't expect to hear anything until early November.
I am so sorry, Rose_Queen. Trying real hard to hold back the tears. Can't even begin to imagine what you are going through right now. Please take care of yourself! ((HUGS))
