To get a visa, I need an invitation. To get an invitation, I need to ... what? I'm still working on that. I could have got one easily from SLS had my passport arrived in time, but now it's too late. So I'm on my own. Great. More challenges. The fastest way to get a visa is to turn up at 9:30 am at a Russian consulate and get same day service. I think I can do that in Ottawa, Montreal, and maybe Toronto, but I'm not sure. It's hard to get clear information. I guess it has turned out to be a good thing that I'm going to Ontario for a couple of days before I leave.
How am I feeling about all this? Well, perhaps somewhat overwhelmed. I would rather be spending my time writing and editing and reading Daniil Kharms, not fretting about documentation. But I guess this is all part of traveling. And there I though I was being so smart by sending my passport application off for renewal in what I figured was LOTS of time! Ha! The joke's on me, and luckily I am pleased to have jokes played on me, especially when they involve my assumptions being overturned by reality.
