Seems that we have been waiting for hours. :)
It always seems time goes so slow when you are waiting for news. I usually start doing things like cleaning the ref or scrubbing the walls, etc, then the time goes much faster and you sometimes end up with a lot of things you usually put off doing being done easier. Also doing something that requires little mental effort leaves you free to pray more.
Have you updated your Jim ping list with everyone who has replied? That could take up lots of time :~)
