Okay. I found my social security card. I am still going to pick up my letter from ISS when it is ready, but I *think* this means I have everything I need to get my learner's permit renewed. If I can get out there soon to get it replaced then all will be well. This also means I can send off my passport asap.... wanna get the new license first though, just in case.

I still can't find my 2006 tax info. *HOWEVER* what I really need right now was the tuition info from ECU. And while I don't have the form I need, I *do* have the receipt from the fall semester of that year, which gives me the dollar amounts I need. I can get the info from A&M fairly easily, I hope. I am unfortunately missing some investment info from my bank, but I may be able to get that from them somehow also, maybe? We'll see.

For a nice variation on a theme, I now have to say... Fuckin' taxes!

And no, I haven't gotten anything else achieved in the past two days :p

..okay that is a lie. I made chowder and cake yesterday. But nothing academically productive. Tomorrow, I hope, will be better. -_-

I have now pretty much managed to get everything done that I had planned to do yesterday :p Well, I could work on HIAS some more, I suppose, but that's a given. I've felt really drained and cranky all day, save for a few highlights. The weather was gorgeous today, and I biked home, then took Jola for a long walk along bee creek. I ventured further down along the creek and found where that path sort of hooks up with some parts of the botanical gardens. There is als a shortcut to c=goodwill down that was, so extra score. On a whim, I let J run off lead for a bit, and she was good, never getting too far out of site and more or less coming when I called her, without harassing anyone. She was bounding all in and out of the creek (the muddy, algae riddled creek -_-), which was super adorable also. And she then proceeded to roll in lots of grass to dry/clean herself off. How considerate! The chowder I made last night turned out pretty tasty, even if it is not as thick and creamy as I was hoping. My lemon cake is moist and dense and delicious.

So there's that.

Nevertheless, I'm feeling tired and cranky. Part of it may be the fact that I didn't get to sleep until late last night. I think there is more though. Not that I can be helpfully specific :p I don't know, but I feel very emotionally drained and my patience is not what it should be. Maybe it really is just rehashing all these tax problems. Ugh. Maybe I should aim to go to bed early.
