A response in avoidance of the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/daily-prompt-8/

Yesterday I renewed my passport.  I luckily checked it on Tuesday and realized that the due date for renewing was Wednesday, so frantically I filled out the form, checked my references, got my photos taken and headed down to the passport office.

I didn’t take any pictures there, mainly because official locations like this make me feel like someone is going to jump out and confiscate my camera.  It was kind of an interesting experience though.  The gentleman at the entrance made everyone’s day by greeting everyone who came in cheerfully, guiding them through to the line-up, and wishing everyone who left a wonderful day.   It was quite busy, but I only had to wait about 20 minutes (The woman I saw said she only works with renewals, and they are quick and easy.  Apparently others would be in for a longer wait.)

Anyway, forms and pictures all in order (phew!) my new passport will be arriving in a couple of weeks, so then I’ll be able to travel somewhere outside of Canada.  Not that we will, but I will be able to!

The rest of the day was spent hanging with kitties, painting the hallway ceiling again, prepping walls in the hallway for painting, and reading a book, while painting and wood repair continued on the outside of the house.

Today I think I’m up for some physical labour – walking and then digging out the other 2 stumps I have to dig out.  Maybe painting the hallway, but I think I just want to get those stumps out so I can call a guy to haul all the shrub waste away.  We’ll see.  It’s still early yet.  Early in the day, that is.  The Vacation is almost over…back to work on Monday…

This has been a pretty wordy post today.  So I’ll end with kitty pictures.

The end of a long day…
