Today is probably our second, and last, day of being able to get down our driveway and back up again, so we’re going to celebrate by going to Subway to get our lunch. My husband likes a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich and chips. I’ll have a Subway Club Salad. YUM!

This afternoon we have a good chance of rain. That may help the driveway melting some or might cause more difficulty. It has gone both ways in the past. Tomorrow comes the deep freeze, with temps not getting above freezing until Thursday (I think). That means we’re socked in for another week or so.

I’ve rescheduled or canceled our appointments for the coming week, and may have to continue that NEXT week, as well. Did I tell you I’m ready for spring?

I’m really having fun working on the wood burned owl in my art room. I THINK he’s coming together now, looking more like an owl. It’s so nice to escape to my art room, turn on my music, and lose myself in the joy of figuring out what tool, technique, medium, or color to use next!

My closet is definitely showing signs that someone cares now. Today I’m tackling my shoes. I have way too many pairs. I have a group of ‘go-to’ shoes and those will be my core. My goal is to find at least half to donate.

It looks like we’ll have to buy a new fridge. The bottom freezer failed yesterday. I got it cleaned out, and the tech is now scheduled to come on the 30th (assuming he can then get up our driveway) to give the final verdict, but it doesn’t look good. We bought our GE Profile fridge in 2006. We have really enjoyed it, so we will hope to find another we can afford.

I hope the weather where you are is such that you can get outside a bit. I’m going to make a point of walking around in our yard this afternoon, rain or no rain.

Overcoming Adversity

This morning we left do some errands. The two most important were getting a new, larger collar for our dog, Amber, and getting my driver’s license renewed – actually changed to the “Real ID” form that is required now.

We were successful in getting Amber’s collar at Ace Hardware.

Getting my license renewed almost made me despair. I had gotten online, made a list of what I needed, gathered that. What I brought didn’t please the people there. We had to go back home twice to get things that would meet with their approval, of COURSE having to take a number and wait – a total of three times. This and $40 plus another $2.50 for using my credit card for payment, finally got me my new driver’s license. It is good for 8 years – assuming I live that long. :0)

This is a sample image I found online. There are all kinds of changes from my old one. The thing that stands out for travel is the gold star in the upper right hand corner. Then in the bottom right hand corner, another pic of you saying ‘donor’ for organ donor. I don’t know if that pic is there if you’re NOT a donor. I didn’t notice this until I got home, but the ID picture on the left also has a ‘shadow image’ right beside it that you have to tilt the card just right to see.

The people at the place were kind of pushing me to get a voter registration card. I told them I already had one. I had to show it to them, and tell them I had voted early before they let it drop.

By the time I finally had the new driver’s license in my purse and we had gotten back to the truck, we were exhausted by all the jumping through hoops. We decided to stop at the Subway. My husband got a foot long BLT and I got a Subway Club Salad. YUM.

It was funny. Our local Subway has totally been renovated since we went there last time. They had moved the entire service line to the back instead of the side and it looked like they were able to accommodate a lot more in-store diners. When I got to the checkout, I had no clue how to use my Subway Rewards card in the reader. The guy there had to help me through it. Then there was a different way for the card reader to read my credit card. I felt old and inept by the time I checked out, but thanked him for helping me through it.

We are all calmed down now. I’m going to go do my yoga practice and then I’ll see if I can find Abby. It’s got to be almost time for a good cat hugging session.

Hope your day has been less stressful than mine.
