(Written) Driving Test, Part 2

Well, by the time I found my birth certificate, took care of my pets, got ready, and figured out what buses to take, I decided I didn't have enough time to get to the DMV (on two buses), wait in line, do whatever, wait in line, take the test, wait in line, and get the results before I have to go to Bella's for baby sitting. Not to mention the DMV closes at 5PM. But I did find out that one can schedule an appointment online... so I did! It's for next Friday at 2PM. I'll post Part 3 of this unfolding drama sometime thereafter.

(Written) Driving Test, Part 1

Mood: relieved/eager

I am going to go take my written driving test today. I haven't really studied as much as I should have, but oh well. A good deal of my study time was taken up by trying to find my birth certificate. There was a real scare there for a while when I didn't find it in the "barn" (i.e. shed). That's where a lot of my stuff from Illinois is packed away. But then I deduced that I must have used it since I have been living with Gran; the address on my photo ID is 11657 not 11659. So it was safe to assume that it was somewhere here in the house, most likely in the office. Feeling overwhelmed looking through the mess, something told me to look in my "file" (i.e. a cardboard box with manila folders standing up in it in some sort of orderly fashion) and sure enough, there was a folder marked "Birth Certificate". I guess I can be organized sometimes....

So now I must take a shower and be off to the races. Erm, test, I mean.

Godfather Greg

Mood: honored

Wow! Bella and I are now the proud Godparents of Evan Harris Finefrock. We are truly honored. Evan was pretty darn happy today, for the mostpart. He seemed to know there was a celebration going on just for him.

In other fantastic news, Pip has finally taken to his new home. There is evidence of him having had a dip in the "pool", and he is in fact now resting comfortably next to it. He's not even hiding in the moss! I am so happy for the little guy. Next, I'm going to consider getting him a companion, most likely a fire-bellied frog.

Though I absolutely love this rain we're having, Daryl informed me this morning that the store has several leaks. It should be very interesting surveying the damage tomorrow....
