The cavalcade of suck goes on
I got a panicked call from Kathy last night. In all the brouhaha about the robbery Friday, she forgot her passport when she left. And she just called back now; they can't go on the cruise. Because of the Fort Hood thing, security is extra tight, and she wouldn't be able to get back into the country. And the cruise line won't refund anything, of course. I feel awful, but there's nothing I could have done; short of getting on a plane and delivering it myself, there was no way to get it to her in time. I'm now stopping myself from googling last-minute plane fares to Florida, because if I find one I could have gotten if I acted fast last night, I'll just feel crappier.
She's been looking forward to this for months. And while her mom is fairly well off, that's not a small chunk of change to lose. (Though I remind myself that she's probably spent that much cash gambling on her casino trips...)
Sigh. :( Now I can't even tell myself that Kathy's enjoying herself while she's gone.
