First claimed I verbally said there was a "ULT" in my last name. Second time they just added a T to the passport, and still didn't correct my passport card from error 1. I had taken a bus from Portland to Seattle, waited all day, was the last person in the office and they STILL messed it up the second time. Third time's a charm. I almost missed my bus back home.


The PDX is polish, can't you tell?

(not polish)


Wait they made the passport on the spot?

Ugh this talk of passports reminds me I really need to finish my passport renewal process. At least they have the 10 year option now. When I did it they only had like 3 year or maybe 5 I forget. It feels like I just went through all this.

Hardest part is having to find people to sign that are not family but that have known me for a long time. I need to bring it in to work or something.

So much shoveling to do today, going to head out and start on that soon, not looking forward to it. My snow blower is too far in the garage to get to it, need to finish the shed first to make room in the garage.

Wow totally forgot it was the Santa Claus parade today. There is actually snow on the ground for it this year! In the past few years our snow comes so late that sometimes the parade does not feel like Christmas at all.

Shed walls are done, squared off, and solid. (yesterday they were just kinda hanging there temporarily since I had to stop early)

Downside of working in winter is having to shovel before I can even start/get to the work site. Then I also had to do the actual driveway. So used up a lot of time doing that.


(before I started)









Debating on calling it quits for the year. Just need to protect the floor from rain and spring snow melt. Might paint it, if I broom it very good to get rid of the snow and then wait for a day it does not snow I can probably get away with using oil based paint or something.

It's Pretty much Christmas time, I just want to take that time to relax and wind down. I always end up being caught up with some kind of project and don't really enjoy the season. I did not even put my decorations up yet and it's almost December.

On the other hand it would be awesome to finish it to the point that I can put stuff in it, so I can start on the garage throughout winter. There's always after Christmas, it's colder, but we don't really get the super extreme cold anymore like we used to.

I don't know WTF is up with this shit, suppose to rain Tuesday. It's freaking NOVEMBER, why are we still getting shitty weather, I hate this global warming crap.

Still debating on if I keep going and try to get the sheeting and weatherwrap on, but I basically only have 2 days left before I go back to work.
