• Was Yesterday Monday?

  The proverbial bad Monday started early for me yesterday.  No, it wasn't Monday, but it was bad.  It all started when I took my son to a 9am appointment.  When I pulled into the lot, I realized that my inspection sticker on the van had run out....in August.  Oops.  However, right next door was a garage that did inspections.  I drove right next door and got to pull right into the bay for the inspection.  After about 10 minutes and not being able to find my registration card, I had to pull out and go home for it.

  The state trooper that I met on the way home was really nice.  Even the blue lights of his patrol car were a nice shade.  I explained that my stuff was on the table at the house and I was going back to get it to get the car inspected.  He was real nice about it and told me to make sure I get it done; just a verbal warning.  When I pulled out from this nice conversation I realized that I didn't even have my wallet with my driver's license.  Geemyknee!

  I got home and could not find the registration.  However, in the van, I had the registration cards from 2000 up to 2005 and the proofs of insurance from 1998 to 2006.  Does everyone keep all that outdated stuff in the cars?  I also cleaned out the glove compartment of the sales tags that were over several months old, and there was a fine collection of them, too.

  The license runs out on my van in another 2 weeks so I decide to get the new license and registration instead of paying $5 to get a copy of the old one.  Of course, I can't find my paid personal property tax to get the new license and registration.  Okay, okay, let's use the truck instead.  That's when I noticed that the truck inspection sticker had also run out last month.  I did have all the stuff for the truck and I got it inspected in time to pick up my son from his appointment.

  I will say that tension can make migraines worse, as it did all morning.  Did I mention that when my son got in the truck that the door kinda' drooped?  The bottom hinge plate needs fixed which means about a $100 appointment with the body shop. 

  By the time this was all over, it was 3pm and I was going back to bed.  The next few hours were uneventful because I was in oblivion.  Maybe I should stay there today!

  The FogWalker ponders yesterday....decides to sleep some more today...
