Admin and procrastination.
I needed to do A, then B, then C. I can't do C if I haven't done A and B. The prospect of having to do A, B and C is so daunting I have failed to do A. This is true with getting my printer fixed, viewing my credit report, and more importantly, renewing my Freedom Pass¹.
I changed my name a year ago, and haven't informed the bit of Camden Council that deals with Freedom Passes. I don't have a passport in either my old name or my new name. I haven't informed the Freedom Pass people at Camden Council that I've moved because of the ABC thing as described above. Today I will go and visit the council department in person (it's in the next street to me) with my freedom pass, my Statutory Declaration², and proof of my new address. I *hope* they haven't sent the forms to my old address already, if they have that will mean a) it's in my old name and b) it won't get to me in time and I might be without the Freedom Pass for a couple of weeks.
Procrastination truly is the thief of time.
I wrote this and then went down to the Accessible Transport Service to start to sort things out. I need a report from my psychiatrist as well as my doctor, I don't know how I'm going to sort that out right now. I found a nice TV schoolgirl story and relaxed that way ;-) I bought some schoolgirl shoes too! *Must* source a uniform or something like a uniform that fits. Maybe a wig too.
¹ Free use of public transport in London; 24/7 for buses and tubes, after 9.30am for trains. I get this because I have a disability and applied for it.
² Sworn statement regarding my name change witnessed by a solicitor.
