I called yesterday just to check on the status of our dossier. I am still missing the little bits of paper, and find myself fretting over them and wanting to call to check in. I know they are fine, and in good hands, but you see I feel naked and aimless without them.
The patient agency coordinator assures me all is well. "Your last seal arrived today." "I didn't know we were accruing seals. Would that be a Baltic seal or a Weddell seal? Can he balance a ball on his nose? And why is it a 'he'? Ha ha ha..." I MISS MY PAPERS, OK? I NEED TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE ALL PRESENT AND ACCOUNTED FOR. Also that you like them too. She tells me that we are "on target for December". And then pauses to let me know that she wants to get off the phone, maybe to help someone that actually has a real question.
In Other News...
One of my adoption compatriots informs me that The Wait is down to 5 months. (If you aren't familiar with the wait, you obviously aren't adopting from China. The Wait is all you really care about if you are.) I hadn't heard. Please excuse me while I go and have just a small panic attack, maybe one to go?
I'm going to hug E. a little tighter when he gets up from his nap. And then go and buy some small Christmas gifts for the daughter that will be here before we know it!

No Christmas commercials for me. Maybe you can send some over.

I've been waiting for our LID for weeks and am all anxious that the translators are making some huge mistakes or accidentally shredded our homestudy or something. Insanity.
