Maybe I've turned a corner?
D's visa paperwork is almost done. Waiting for the cover letter from the UK, supposed to arrive tomorrow AM. Only need to get his visa photo's done and the finger printing. Apppointment for the finger printing is on Friday, but hoping they might let him do it on Thursday so that I can send the package off on Thursday. Every day counts!
Drove down to Salem yesterday and now have Mooshi and Juju's (the cat's) paperwork stamped by the USDA. Just need to find the kennel's to ship them in and pay the Pet Mover's fee and we're all set there.
D convinced me to ask for an extension and stay in Portland for another week. Wasn't sure how I was going to ask for it without sounding like a whiner. In the end, I got it. I'm here in Portland for another week. Me so happy!! I have a very understanding and compassionate boss in the UK.
So, am feeling a huge relief. I'm hoping that when I do go back that D will be able to follow me in a week. Even if it's two weeks that's okay. But the idea of going back this week-end and living solo for three weeks was just about more than I can deal with. I knew that I'd be living on my own for the first six months of my assignment. But I've done it and I am done with it. I'm not signing up for anymore of that.
What a difference a day makes; or in my case two.
