Man, my arms still hurt like the bloody dickens. Six vaccinations – probably won’t do that again any time soon. Also, I just realized today that I no longer have a valid passport, which means that I’ll have to take care of that. Preferably without the knowledge of my parents. Of course, scraping up the money for a passport is going to be difficult too, since one of my clients is away on a trip and the other has scheduling conflicts. I’m having trouble finding more. They both said they’ll pass my name around, but it’s best not to count on that, because even if they do, not everyone is going to need help.
Man, my parents are really NOT going to be thrilled about this. I kind of half-mentioned it to my dad and he was not stingy in his disapproval. I can only imagine how my mom will react. But if I can, I’m going. I’ll pay them back for college – I was always planning to anyway – but if I can possibly go to Europe, I’M GOING.
