Dear Baby,

You know how sometimes you procrastinate something and then get SO PISSED that you did when it comes to crunch time and you have to get it done. Like you get mad at the thing you have to do instead of at yourself for not just doing it earlier. 

Well, today I am really fucking pissed at the idea of having to go out and renew my license and health card before my birthday (and our vacation) tomorrow. 

Sure, I got the notice in the mail 2 months ago but I was sure that I meant it when I said “I’ll get it done.” 

Wrong. 

Didn’t do it. Totally forgot it. 

Enter today where we are experiencing our second spring time snow storm. THE LAST THING ON FUCKIN EARTH THAT I WANT TO DO IS GO OUT LET ALONE GO OUT TO A SERVICE ONTARIO WITH YOU. 

Can you even imagine anything more hideous? I don’t know what government buildings will look like in the future but as of now they are where happiness goes to die. Dramatic? Maybe but the dusty grey- blue carpet and matching walls adorned with prints that display hot air balloons and trite messages back up that statement one hundo percent. 

The interior coupled with the fact that everyone at a Service Ontario location seems to be grumpy and has made the decision to not wear deodorant (ever), make it the worst. 

The fact that the last time we had to go to a government office there were 4 people with SARS masks on and another 4 who didn’t wear a mask and yet coughed violently into the air is the cherry on that sad sad sundae.

Why can’t you just do this shit online????

Here’s the point. Don’t procrastinate annoying shit. Just get it over with. Rip off the bandaid, so to speak. 

Heed my advice or be doomed to pack up a sleepy baby in a fucking spring time snow storm at lunch time and line up with the B.O. squad of your local service center and face the wrath of renewing your damn documents. 

In the meantime, UG. Just ug.
