already. one of the pieces of paper the SSA wants you to supply is an original birth certificate or at least an official copy from the office. if i were born in Cook County, this would not be a problem.
unfortunately, i was born in Quezon City, Philippines, and according to my dad, it isn’t so easy to obtain government documents from there. wonderful. further, he insists that my mom has a copy in a safety deposit box and that i should call her for it. for some reason, i don’t believe she has this because she may have given it to me in the past and–duh–i lost it. second, i haven’t spoken to her in nearly two years, and i’m just not ready to.
on the other hand, i’m tired of brooding and brooding about the things that need to be done. it’s time to take some action if this ball is ever going to get rolling.
well, i just tried her on her cell phone and got no answer. my sister said that she gets poor reception in her unit and she doesn’t have a land line set up yet. we agreed that i should just call her at work tomorrow, so that’s what i’ll do.
