Bureaucracy Stress

[marigold]

To be able to return to my monastery and settle there long-term, I have to figure out a lot of legal documentation. I thought it was fairly straightforward but at every step, there is a complication, and another form that I have to fill out, and another fee to be paid, and another layer of days or weeks to wait. Meanwhile I am bouncing between couches at my friends' house and my family home; everybody is being wonderful but I don't have any private space or money to be elsewhere while I am waiting. And I have no idea how long I will end up being here so I am just twiddling my thumbs and being stressed. I am trying to stay positive but it is taking its toll. I am clenching my jaws and have a headache... 

Please do pray.
