So I still haven't gotten my passport in the mail, so I still couldn't get my driver's license yesterday, because otherwise I won't have any picture i.d. for my flight on Monday.

Or so I thought.

I was telling The Raccoon about that, about how if I didn't get the passport, I wouldn't be able to drive while I was home, because they would take away my NY license and leave me with a big bunch of nothing. And she said, "You idiot, they give it to you while you wait!" Um?

So tomorrow is Friday, it is the only day I can go get the thing, I will have to get there at 8a when they open, The Evil Overlord told me that I had to be in the office before noon (I found out afterwards that that was because we are having our departmental Christmas lunch then), and I have about a jillion and a half things to do and cannot stay late because of the Show That Wouldn't End.

Yep, this is me before every trip, riding that ragged edge of disaster. If there wasn't a panicky rush to finish everything just in time, it wouldn't be, well, me.

I haven't been pimping my wish lists this year, I just realized, so just in order to help the people who really want to get me presents, they are here, here and here.

And yes, I know how messy I have been about what thing goes on what list, but what do you expect? I haven't gotten any presents for anyone yet, except for the ones that I bought in like March, and I'm broke as shit until next Friday, so nobody's getting anything from me until after Christmas, except for my LA friends.

But just like your birthday isn't over until you get that last present, my giving everyone presents hideously late only extends the holiday season! I'm doing you guys a favour!

O, and check out that year ago quote below! Apparently, getting 200 too few cards is a new holiday tradition round my way.

Today's horoscope:
Have you hugged your kids today? Demonstrating your affection physically is a good idea. Get a little TLC yourself too.

One year ago today:
So, yesterday I sent out my Christmas cards and discovered, to my horror, that 300 Xmas cards is chicken feed. When did I start knowing so many people?
