Okay, I've got almost all my paperwork together. Need to wake Matilda up to finish one form.
Then we have to hit FedEx to copy a few more things then we're off to Sausalito Post Office to have an Official Passport Officer give the approval.
Then we drive back across the GG Bridge and drop the other paperwork off at Passport Depot (the expeditors).
Maybe hit Target on the way home and then I will have finished the last hoops in this Steeplechase of a week.
Wish me smooth bureaucracy!
Holy wow. Just talked to my work-assigned mentee through our gay group at work. She’s like, 23 and we’ve only talked a couple times before. Apparently since we last talked, her cousin peaced out on her kids, and the mentee has taken them in—triplet 15 year old girls. Wow. I can’t even imagine. I mean, easier than triplet two year olds or something, but still!!

Holy shit! Good on your mentee, though!
Holy crap! I hope she has an awesome family and friends support network -- that is amazing of her, and a freaking LOT to take on. Wow.
OMG, Meara.
My pills are starting to work, I think.
Not great at 4 am, though.
Woke up with an excruciatingly sore throat with white patches, along with congestion, but like congestion in my throat/chest, not my head. I am therefore enjoying Colorado’s finest Urgent Care. Well, the waiting room of Colorado’s finest Urgent Care. Bah.
Oh, Steph, that's the pits! Hope whatever it is resolves quickly and you get good drugs to help it happen, but that timing is crap.
Beaurocrazy~ma, Hec.
Wow, meara, that is some serious stepping up. My cousin had triplets and that is a bunch 15-year-old hormones!
Yikes, Teppy. I hope they fix you up. Horrible timing throat!
My sister finally tested negative today after 12 days. Mine was only 5 days. Covid be weird.
Oh boo Teppy, hope you feel better real soon. What a vacation bummer!!
Beaurocrazy~ma, Hec.
I have finished my hoop hopping obstacle o'er leaping morning!
Instead of waking up in a sweat of anxiety about getting everything done, I woke up in the middle of the night reviewed all the documents in my head, decided to go with a two-folder system (one for the Passport officer at the P.O., one for the expeditng office), and sorted everything thusly.
Got Matilda up earlier than I have all summer, had her fill out the necessary form, got us coffee, drove to FedEx and copied three last things and then we headed across the GG Bridge (shrouded in fog) to Sausalito.
We were in and out of the P.O. within 15 minutes, and back on the road with new Peet's coffee, headed directly downtown and dropped the whole megilla off with Passport Depot, where they reviewed all and declared us well prepared and done. And her passport should come in a week.

Brought Matilda home, and she took an anxiety med and went to bed. I went to the local deli to order gigantic deli sandwiches, then walked over to Borderlands to kill 15 minutes while they were made.
I just polished off my Italian stallion (sandwich) in triumph over paperwork.

In the meantime, Hannah bought all the airline tickets and set up the air bnb's so they are ready to roll!
I am exhaling. I might take a nap myself. Nap of Celebration!
