This is the way Kim's World works (specifically, the same World as everyone else's, but that's moot, in the purely academic sense of the word): Things happen as they must, but on and according to an agenda only they understand. Usually, the agenda appears to be sequential, One After Another, rather than All At Once. (Appears, in this case, because she knows that these things, all of them, or at least the possibility of them all, have been with her for a Very Long Time. Some since birth, and them all possibly then, too, because, really, wasn't that an ordeal, and an almost nonevent?)
And a sequence is horrible. That is, logistically, All At Once seems worse, but it only ever really does at the time. One After Another is worse, because people need to breathe, and sometimes this means you can't; gasping for air becomes grasping at straws, and there's no real rest in sleeping, because what if you wake up to One More Thing?
(She usually does.)
