JUMALAUTA, VITUN HUORANPENIKKA PASKA!

I was having a fairly good day.

I had everything I needed to go get my driver's license converted during lunch. I kept watch on the monitor on their webpage until the lunch rush was over. I hobbled down to the silver line (ow), took the bus to Chinatown, went to the RMV, got in line...

...my passport wasn't in my purse. Where, until this holiday, it always was. Because now it's in my room, since so many people told me it was a bad idea to carry it around.

AAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I started crying right there in the middle of the RMV. This, of course, did not budge their icy emotionless hearts at all. (Yes, I'm being dramatic.)

So then I decided to indulge myself and WALK (ow) a couple blocks down to this cheap takeout chinese place where I got a to-go container of tofu veggies and lo mein for $3. Then I walked (ow) back to the silver line and came back to work. Late, because of course there was a silver line pulling away as I limped across the street to the bus stop.

I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

While there's a risk in carrying your passport with you, I do it, anyway. In my case, it gives me the illusion of total mobility. The two things I need to go anywhere in the world on a moment's notice are a credit card and a passport. Everything else can be charged to the credit card. It's dangerous business stepping out of your door. You never know where the road may lead you.

I like that attitude. :)
