I’m not sure if anybody noticed the slight hiatus last week but that was purely because of my complete inability to juggle multiple things at once.

As I mentioned before, I am in the middle of planning a trip, and Thursday last week was the “culmination” of all the prep. Naturally, my brain fizzled out. I simply couldn’t handle the stress of preparing the paper work on top of my regular work (which is slowly entering the crazy summer peak; we’ve had three consecutive Saturday overtimes already), my social life (it’s weak, but it’s alive) and blogging (I was proud of the semi-consistent blog posts too, drat). Something had to be dropped.

Now that I’m actually done with the submission of said paperwork, it’s just a matter of waiting and that in itself is causing me grief. What if I missed something? What if I lacked “credibility”?  The thing is, everything – and I mean everything – has been paid for so this trip cannot not push through. It’s basically been the cause of my dwindling savings and that money just cannot go to waste. The dudes at the place said two to five business days so hopefully I’ll get the results before I have a total meltdown.

I’ll try to get back onto regular programming this week and this was just a quick update for anybody out there that’s wondering.
