life is a marathon

Why does everything have to be so complicated and drawn out with the french beaurocracy,that to achieve anything is like getting to the finish line of a race.Exhausting.
Trying to check on my disabled badge in the vain hope I might have one to make things easier for me to get to see the marathon,My husband learns that they have lost my dossier because they are reorganising and i must start all over again with the form filling.
next,check up on the insurance which you need for special events,only to find out that they too have no record of us applying for it,although the post office has confirmed the letter was delivered to them.
The medical certificates must be worded correctly and will not be accepted if just put "marathon de Paris" and so it goes on...enrollment numbers must be collected by a certain time at a certain place,and not on the day..
Thank God,I had lindsay come in the afternoon to give me some welcome reiki to calm me down-she has the art of sending me to sleep quite quickly nowadays.

  1. Interesting to see that you have a Reiki provide - I took a course years ago and thought it was pretty cool. In fact, I just had a session with someone the other day, first time I've used it for a number of years. She slept like a baby afterwards!

    I can understand your frustration with important paperwork going astray or not being acted on. It is a typical French issue, it seems. More than annoying - for you, it affects the quality of your everyday life.

    Common sense doesn't seem to be part of the official French way. Hope you get some kind of positive response sooner rather than later.

  2. Hi Caroline. We were busy with friends over Easter and beforehand, so I've not had the chance to pop by here for a while. I've just been catching up on all your thoughts. How frustrating about the forms etc. I always thought it was just me who found the French bureaucracy difficult, but it really is the pits, isn't it?

  3. Dear Caroline, you are so right about the bureaucracy in any country. I have just about give up on big events. Can't deal with the crowds any more. Good for you for going. Blessings

  4. I hope your issues get resolved in time, Caroline. It takes forever to get responses to requests, in almost every life situation these days. Having a problem solved quickly is so unusual, that when it is accomplished, it's a reason to celebrate.
