Send Coffee or a Fountain Drink.

March 22, 2017 by Cathrine Hoekstra

I’ve been waiting for about an hour now…at the VA.

Why?

I’m not sure. I can’t get a photo ID made because apparently I don’t exist in this system. Right now all I know is that letters of the alphabet are being strung together to make acronyms that make no sense in my brain.

I’ve wanted to volunteer here for sometime. 

This has been a two month process. I’m not sure why. I filled out all my paperwork in a timely manner and did what I was told. Yet I’ve made seven trips to the VA only to have sat for two hours this morning to find out I don’t exist in a system.

Today I don’t want to at all.

What a poor attitude, right?

Trying to calm myself and pray for patience. In the meantime I need all the coffee. All the fountain drinks, and maybe some plaintain chips.

I have to say, some folks are really working to resolve this matter and I appreciate that. Even leaving incredibly disappointed.

A better blog post is coming today. I promise. I’ll just need to clear my head and have some caffeine.

Here’s to a better Wednesday!


If someone could recreate this soy latte, I’d cry tears of joy now.
