Sooooo.... If you read my last post, you know about the passport sitch. Well, a fabulous little birdie that works on The Hill (not to be confused with The Hills) is helping me get an expedited passport. I overnighted the thing. I messed something up on the application. So, they overnighted it back. I had to stand in line at the post office for two hours, only to find that I needed a copy of the back of my driver's license. I sprinted a few blocks to the local library to make a copy, and I sprinted back. No one wanted to let me back in line b/c the passport station closed in 10 minutes. I begged. I almost cried. The guy working the station let me give him my application. I overnighted it back with another overnighted slip so they can mail it back. I realized that I didn't answer two questions. I seriously think I am not suppose to go to Japan. You all, this is seriously just a Cliff Notes version of my dia de la passport. I think I need anxiety meds. And will Chat Tea make it to Japan? Stay tuned....
