I am dealing with the biggest headache ever at the moment -- two of my bank accounts got compromised.
Good news: the money I lost is gonna get reimbursed in full and my accounts are securely frozen.
Bad news: my ID just expired so I can't open new accounts, so the only way I can pay for stuff is to physically go into my branch and tell them to move money around...and I don't have a car. It's a doable walk, though, with only one mildly-dangerous street to cross.
So I need to get a new ID, which was on the docket anyway, the universe just felt like forcing my hand. So I'm scrambling to acquire/reacquire the documentation I didn't think I'd need for a while, learning all kinds of fun lessons in the type of documents I need to keep on hand no matter how much I don't trust myself.
And then I'll need to do this whole song and dance AGAIN when I do legal name change and gender marker. I'm get to be best buds with the DMV yayyyyyyyy
Anyone that wants to sneak in and axe murder me, well I don't think I'd stop you atm.

Why does life gotta be so overwhelming sometimes?
Boils down to "just ask for help when you need it, dummy" at the end of the day.
I'm still deciding what I want it to be! Maxwell is at the top of the short list, but I gotta pick a middle name too. So many choices!
Surname change will happen eventually, but it's not necessary right away.
Couldn't find one of those that clicked.
I've tested Max out at a couple of coffee shops where they call your name for stuff? And it's felt really nice!
Always, friend. Much love to you and Coffee!!
You are 100% right, my friend!
It's definitely slowed me down a bit, definitely sucks. But it's all fixable.
I'm just grateful I was on top of things and that my Bank was able to help me as much as they did.
I am ready to sleep for a week, lemme tell you.
