Well... the flight is supposed to be two days from now, and my visa still hasn't arrived.  Ishbel's paperwork is all lined up - she just has to do a quick trip to the vet before leaving for tapeworm treatment (mandatory before import to the UK, regardless of the fact that she doesn't have tapeworms).

The nerves are getting the better of me.  This is resulting in poor eating and sleeping, as well as inability to focus.

Ishbel is napping, as ever.
