I Could Use Some Help - and Bailey's!

A very long day today. I am working on my passport so that I can go home and sit in the pub wiv all me mates. I miss England so much.

I printed all of the forms off the Internet and read all the instructions - I also spoke to some half-baked individual in Washington DC - who had the brains of dead mosquito.

My next project was to find a photo studio that does passport photos. It's quite complicated because since 2008, all British and US passport photos have to be done in metrics AND the instructions include pages of rules! I spent half the morning looking for passport photo places on the Internet and after driving about 600 miles around Corona, I gave up and went down to see Brit. She poured me a lovely cold beer - and I explained my problem. She said "Why didn't you
say? They have a passport photo place at the Sears outlet" (do you remember the one that used to be KMart) - So off I went again - back to Corona. It's a good thing that I've had the car serviced.

Brit was correct - they have a very professional photo studio in there - the only problem was that I didn't have an appointment and had to wait while a woman with three ugly, screaming, shouting, tongue-sticking out little boys - (maybe 3, 5 and 12 months) posed gracefully for what will become $50 worth of OMG - did I give birth to that!

Anyhoo - finally got my pics done at 2:00ish and I won't show them to you because they are awful - I didn't realize how much I had aged since my cancer.

So- I feel like I am accomplishing things - One step at at a time. On Monday, I am going to see our attorney. I'm making a new will - and those who have been kind will see the results - those who have been selfish, spiteful, hateful and unkind will also see the results. I'm going to leave some of the dosh to City of Hope. What do you think? They saved my life.

I haven't eaten yet today - so am going down to Pat's to get some French Toast and eggs.

I do love you and wish you could help me with all of these roadblocks. XXXXXXXX

I took this photo when we went to Lake Arrowhead - it was a lovely day.
