I do exist!

Quick update: My birth certificate arrived and I have a temporary driver's license (although no picture; hope that won't cause problems at the airport). I also got my debit card activated and was able to cash those checks. Hooray for money and ID! Now onto the hurculean task of filing all the paperwork to dispute all the charges made to my credit cards by the thieves. I also have been able to get in contact with some friends, so not feeling as isolated. And I saw the touring show of Les Mis last night. For my theatre-snob friends, I don't care what you think. ;p
