Okay. I have started, and may have made a dent in the forms. The one for Oklahoma is distinctly less taxing, cheaper to apply for and doesn't need to be completed until mid February. All of which lead me to believe in a weird karmic way that is where I am destined to be.
Boston on the other hand is a mere 4 forms, in duplicate with three references, desperately frightening cost analysis and the requirement of paperwork from my Father. All of this on top of the fact that it is due in less than 8days time. Something tells me that even I may not be able to drag this one back from the brink...
