ooooh, that gets my goat!

so, why in the world am i still awake? i should be asleep, dreaming of sam and gord! instead, i spent the the last +2 hrs searching for my passport. meanwhile, i should have looked a lot closer when i was going through the box that i normally keep it in, but couldn't figure out why i wouldn't have put it back there. i seriously looked everywhere in my house... in books (because i accidently brought my passport to mudge, and i brought a book too). i looked behind/under my shoe rack. i looked behind the fridge... and swept both. holy dust. when i get back i will scrub all of my floors. in the end, it WAS in the box, sandwiched between two other important papers... you know, so it will be easy to find when i look for it! all this, after yvonne, james and i talked about how you should keep your birth certificate in a separate place from your passport. i said i keep them together and it's worked out for me so far. well, i guess technically it has... but i was started to worry! geesh. you know, i easily found my expired canadian and german passports. anyway, now i can sleep. well, after some nyquil.

earlier tonight i took the 22 and the 3 to james's house and gave my opinion on yvonne's clothes to be worn tomorrow night at the volunteer dinner for the VIFF. we also played puerto rico; i liked it. i was second, but i still liked it. the company was good. becky and friend...i'm so tired i can't remember her name... were very nice and there were good times, crazy cookies, tasty popcorn and caramels to be had.

i think my sickness had a relapse today. while having a meeting with a client (design stuff, not hope stuff) i had a coughing fit. it was a combo of not enough moisture in my throat and too much talking... i guess the one leads to the other, but whatever. anyway, it was soooo crazy, it probably looked like i was choking. so went to the bathroom, and i was so desperate... brace yourselves... i drank out of the sink. seriously. i almost starting barfing, but i really didn't need another problem in the middle of a meeting. at least she was a naturopath. and she knew that i was sick earlier this week. so, i HAD to get more riccola and i needed to get US money from my bank. so i walked in the pouring rain (it wasn't raining when i left, and i don't own an umbrella) up to the big TD downtown. it was closed (i had already gone to london drugs and ripped open a package of cough drops while looking for more cough drops). so i took the bus up to the west 12th/granville TD and i missed them by like 3 mins. what totally pissed me off was that walking back to 4th to catch the bus home, i saw that the BOM was open til 4 today. seriously, that's the most annoying bank, and they're open longer today! it wasn't a huge deal to get the money, because i still have a T.C. from when i went to Utah in the summer. and i found over $80US while looking for my passport. but it was überannoying because i am sick!!! damn the bank!

i'm not even packed... but i know what i want to wear so it should be fine. our next challenge: finding a hotel near the concert that's a decent price.
