Stressed
I have had one hell of a bad weekend. Friday night I lost my wallet. I'm going to go ahead and say lost, not stolen, because when I called to cancel my cards, several hours after I noticed my wallet was missing, no one had tried to use them.
There was nothing of any real value inside the wallet, I don't even carry cash, but canceling all the cards etc is a huge inconvenience. What is really making this situation horrifying is that I am supposed to be flying to California this weekend.
According to the airline, and I've called twice now in my paranoia, I just need to bring my social security card and birth certificate, both of which I do have, and everything will be fine. I am anticipating having to jump through major security hoops.
What really sucks is that I had a Texas license still. I've looked into trying to get a Washington license, or at least a WA ID card, but how do I prove I am who I say I am without the old TX license? I've been trying to contact TX all day about this and have had ZERO luck getting through to a live person.
I am going to go down to the WA DPS office tomorrow to TRY and get a WA ID card, which should hold me over until I can get a new TX license and switch to a WA license, but I'm feeling quite pessimistic about that working out for me at the moment.
It's pretty upsetting to realize that my identity is defined by plastic.
