Down to the wire

I feel like time is going by without giving me proper time to prepare. My ever growing to-do list and related brain power seems lost. I feel like I am perpetually waiting. Waiting for the embassy to open, waiting to hear back from someone, waiting to find a place for Chloe. Waiting. And running out of time. I'm waiting for things to happen when they should have happened days ago. I don't get it. For every action there are 3 waiting in line.

I know I'm going to "run out" of time. And most likely that will mean getting onto a plane without a plan, without a goal and just winging it. I'm not a good wing-er. So many people want to go out, see me one last time and I do to but wish I had a whole separate 2 weeks for that alone.

I need to send out my visa paperwork today. Even though the Swiss government has already approved my visa for whatever reason I have to also send my passport to San Francisco to have it processed here. WTF. It's all pretty dumb. And I should have probably done this earlier this week but Monday was a government holiday and yesterday I couldn't get in touch with the visa desk in SF because it's only open from 9-12 M-F except "government" holidays and of couse it was about 1:20 yesterday when I was able to get to FedEx.

So here I am waiting for 9am to roll around so I can try and get the answers I need about mailing these stupid papers and pray they get back to Seattle in time.
