Step by step

I am working my way through this name change thing.  My new Social Security card arrived on the weekend so now I can get my passport changed.  But first, I have to get a picture taken.  I heard there is a cost center here in the Health Sciences where I can get my picture done, so I'll look into that.  I want to apply for my name change passport ASAP.  I don't like to be without a current passport. You just  never know what's around the corner.  Plus, I don't have a passport card so I couldn't even go to Canada for the weekend without my passport.  I might be able to do it today - get my picture taken that is.  I did have a terrible sinus headache yesterday and so it will depend on how I look later this morning.  Sometimes after killer sinus headaches my sinuses are a bit swollen and I don't look my best.  And heaven knows passport pictures are generally ugly enough!  My new driver's license picture turned out great though, even if I do say so myself.

Tuesday when I ran it felt like I had lead liners in my shoes!  I suppose that's because I was a little under the weather.  Also, instead of a noon break in the weather it started raining as soon as I walked out the door.  I feel pretty good today so hopefully I can have a decent run.  I still need those endorphins.  More than ever, it seems.

As a testament to my scrambled and weird state of mind, I couldn't even choose a new audiobook yesterday evening after finishing "The Yard" ... which was pretty good.  It is a brand new book, the first for this author.  I was looking at my wish list and nothing jumped out at me.  I searched for something new .... again, nothing.  So instead I think I'll buy "Playing for Pizza" for my iPad and read for a change.  I can't do that while walking the dog, but oh well.

I was SO looking forward to Andre's birthday party this weekend, but it has been postponed to the following Saturday and that's when I'll be in Portland.  Now I don't have any excuse at all for not cleaning out my closets!
