Are you planning a trip?Rick left around 2:00 or so this morning and my day has been messed up ever since. Right after he left, I couldn't fall back asleep, so I stayed up until around 8:00 or so this morning, then crashed. Awakened around 10:30 or so and did a few things around the house. Crashed again and never awakened until after 2:00 this afternoon! So now I'm full of pep and energy and am doing some general straightening-up around the house. Tomorrow will be my house-cleaning day.
- Installed Outlook 2013 on my computer this morning. It downloaded and installed very well with no issues at all. (I had been using Windows Live Mail, which had turned into a total pain to use. Every time I tried to use it, I'd get an error notice because some header didn't download all the way. It was dropping emails right and left....I got tired of dealing with it.) I'm already using Office 2013, so I figured I might as well use Outlook, too, and get it over with.
- Downloaded the paperwork to get another copy of my birth certificate for my passport. The prothonotary's office won't take my birth certificate because it's not a proper certificate as it came from the marine base, something like that. Well, that certificate is 60 years old, for crying out loud and it says right on it that it's legal for obtaining a passport. They won't take Rick's birth certificate either because the seal isn't raised. Rick can go to our local representative's office and have him take care of his for us, but I have to go through North Carolina for mine. What a hassle. And I'm going to have to pay for "expedited processing and expedited shipping" which is an extra fee.
- Just doing some straightening-up, looking through my desk, shredding papers, doing some organizing, all that good stuff
I had to renew both my passports. My British and Israel. These had to be sent to England and I'd heard horror stories of not receiving them back for six months or so. I was lucky. They were back and hand delivered within a month. Then I had to renew my Israeli passport which is done on the spot. My pictures are atrocious.
