Aug 10 - What Now

As a dietitian with not only first-time clients but also return ones, Luis plans work schedules and visits at least two weeks in advance. We wanted to wait until the end of July to decide what to do with the wedding, so, just to be on the safe side, he cleared out his schedule for at least the first two weeks of August. If it would still go through, he could elongate it to four months; if not, he could just use some time off anyway. So today is his first day of a two-week blocked annual leave.

Can't help but think it's just the way it'll be for God knows however many more months down the road. Winging it. Deciding as we go. On my side, I had had it all figured out:
1. Get married in August 2020
2. Resign from work and start paperwork in October 2020
3. Move to the Netherlands in December 2020
4. Start a new job in March 2021
5. Have my parents come over in May 2021
6. Make a trip back home in July 2022

Let's look at the progress:
1. Oh right we don't even know when we're getting married!

Having to wait with a timeline is one thing. Having to wait with a deadline is another thing. So what now? Well.. We keep waiting. :D
