3 Feb 2010 Feeding Fowl

Watching Sam feed the ducks today eased the knot in my stomach a little bit. Yesterday we believed that we were 1-2 weeks away from emigrating to the UK. Today we learned that we could have still 2 MONTHS until the UK border agency approves the visas.

What happened? I sure would like to know. For now we’re chalking it up to a massive miscommunication. There’s nothing like rearranging your life and then learning that it was all too soon. We’ve already sold the car. Given away the sofa. Packed. Purged. Changed our address. Signed a lease in the UK. Scheduled movers (they’re supposed to come next week).

So now the busy move preparation stops. We wait. We feed the birds. I’m sure there’s a zen message in there for me somewhere.
