The main thing I had to get done at work today just took care of itself, and now I am seriously wondering if I am going to go in.

There are expedited passport places online -- I've even heard some promise a 24-hour turnaround. Did you check those out?
I just don't want DHS getting a hold of you, Theo. Lord only knows what they'd do to your spicy brain. I bet they have blue gloves, too.

I'd definitely call an embassy or whoever to find out.
So my parents had a kitten Loki's age that got out May 31 and disappeared. They looked and looked, but no sign of her. They were heartbroken, because things are rough for kittens in their area, so they presumed she'd died.
She showed up in the yard this morning and is now in on my mom's lap, happy as can be. They'll be taking her into the vet's as soon as it opens to get her all checked out.

sarameg, now I'm wondering if there's some other heartbroken family out there who are wondering where the lovely kitten who wandered into their yard on June 1st is!
Reminder to self: get cats chipped RSN.

Huh. Just checked, and the overnight-guaranteed place is $224 plus the usual gov't fee of $135. That's on top of:
- share of gas to and from Montreal
- share of hotel room/3
- Worldcon membership
- price of Fedexing the passport to me in Montreal so I can get back in. (Canada doesn't require valid passport to get INTO.)
- plus, you know, food & incidentals for five days, as fasting is not an option.

So I just managed to set off my alarm. Luckily, I do apparently remember the password after 3 weeks. Lord. That was interesting.

So, you know, looking in the $1K+ range before the shouting is over. And I'm unemployed, and going to stay that way for a while.
Plus, I could still go to Vividcon next weekend for a whole lot less. Though, not much more less, because the airfare would be $300.

There's always next year? I'm sorry, that sucks.

I'm glad you remembered the password.
We had a storm last night. It actually snapped the neighbor's flag pole, sending the confederate flag to the ground. We shall see if the south rises again.

WOW, I maxed out my credit card this month, not really paying attention to how much I have been spending. Must remedy immediately.
