Sweet and sour

My mom sent a card wishing me luck finishing up. In it was a check and instructions to get take-out some night that I work late and don't want to cook. Isn't that sweet?

The power is out in my building today, so I have to work at home. That's a bummer, because working at home never goes as well as working at work. However, RA is expecting an updated draft of one of the chapters tonight or tomorrow morning, so there is some accountability today.

I can't find my passport! It's expired anyway, but it looks like it's easier/faster/cheaper to renew than to get a totally new one. I can't believe it's missing because it has a spot. It's always in that spot. Except now. So I'm going to go tear apart the office in hopes of finding it. And I'm blogging about it because that always seems to help, right? Oh, and the reason I need to deal with this now is that BFF and I decided to take a cruise in January!!!! I'll be cutting it close on the passport, although if I pony up for expedited service I should be okay.

Edited to add: FOUND IT!!!! It was in EGM's passport spot, where I had already looked several times. It was just under something else. Woo-hoo!

glad to hear things are moving along. BFF was smart to suggest that cruise and you were very smart to do it. Good luck with everything!

I just got my passport renewed, and it took maybe 5, 6 weeks w/o expedited service. When we got Baby Jane's passport and did expedited, it took 3 weeks, if memory serves. So you should be fine either way.

Oh a cruise! I'm so jealous. I love cruises. It sounds like a nice time for a break. :-)
