The Tick Is Deafening

I can hear the clock counting down the days and the noise it makes is already deafening.

Plane tickets: check.
Luggage: gradually becoming a check mark.
Work Permits: Estimated to go in the mail August 6th and take a week to get here.
Going through stuff: still a work in progress.

So it's official: as long as nothing screwy happens with our work visas, we'll be fleeing the country in the evening on September 9th and landing in Warsaw in the evening on September 10th.

As mentioned earlier, we are just waiting on some paperwork, and don't even know our forwarding addresses yet.  It will come in time though.

We got a pair of really large suitcases at the mall for an amazing deal and are looking forward to beginning to fill them as we make our decisions on what to take with us and what to store.  I think I could seriously pack someone into it if I really wanted to and that person would still have room to breathe.

For the longest time it seemed like my world had been standing still, and now it's rushing past me faster than a speeding TARDIS...and the ticking clock is just as loud and persistent as drums inside the Master's skull.
