Passport came back. Thought there had been sent to renew in enough time but considering the current situation with the pandemic, it appears to have been sent with not enough time for it to be renewed by mail. Now, the situation is that I have to start a whole new passport. It’s just a matter of setting an appointment. Wasn’t able to make an appointment thru the phone, so attempted thru online. Being able to do that though is like pulling teeth. Not sure why it’s so difficult because it’s hardly allowing usable links or options to create the appointment. May have to check back tomorrow for making an appointment for Friday. Since I get off at 2:30 pm tomorrow, I may have to physically go there in person, especially to see about the $149 money order that I originally intended to pay for the mail-in renewal but got sent back with the old passport that never got processed.

Hoping that it doesn’t become too much of a hassle, would at least like to plan an international trip when the pandemic becomes under control. Though, as more people become vaccinated and places start opening up more, it should allow for more in-person capabilities.
