No identity!
Yesterday I posted my UK passport application, accompanied by my US passport and British Certificate of Naturalisation! 
I walked in the post office with my entire (dual) identity, walked out with nothing and £76 poorer. Argh! And guess what--the Royal Mail is experiencing a strike today. What kind of dumb f*** luck is that, eh? Hopefully my parcel will be unaffected.
I'm supposed to get acknowledgement of receipt within a few days and my passport in 10 to 14 working days. If I don't hear from Identity and Passport Service in 14 days (that's 12th of July--it's marked on my calendar!) I am to call and quote my reference number and 'make enquiries.' Argh, argh argh!! So it's just flat out of my hands for the next two weeks. Literally.
To add fun to the game, I got on the scale this morning and it said 137.6. Curious, as yesterday it was 134.0. Got off, switched it off, turned it back on, got back on. 136.4. Hm. Off, on, on again. 136.0. Did it again. 136.0. Okay then. We'll go with 136.0. Some mornings are just weird. (I did realise yesterday, though, that I actually ate no vegetables. How does a vegan go a day with no vegetables? Easy:
breakfast--toast and coffee
snack--coco loco nakd bar (eaten while queuing in post office)
lunch--chickpea dahl and brown rice
(after work--60 minute workout)
dinner--vegan sloppy joe and 4 oven chips
(then back to work to lead the local reading group at the library)
snack after getting back from reading group--bowl of cereal with soy milk
No fruit, no veg. Up two, perhaps three, pounds overnight. It's like magic! It's like those sea monkeys you used to see advertised in the back of comics! Fun for the whole family!)
DH is away for the weekend, so I'll be home alone. It's supposed to rain all weekend, so I'll be indoors most of the time. I plan to work out and do the laundry. Dream big!
