I’m going to pretend it didn’t snow here last week and that the tail end of April signifies spring in this neck of the woods. With those assumptions in place, I figured it was time to change my header graphic to my nifty spring design (courtesy of Zoe). Enjoy.

Just as I was making my way towards the registry to get a temporary license, I got a call from one of the hubby’s co-workers advising that she’d been sent home from the field (injury) and had my license in her hot little hands. All I had to do was make it to the Base to pick it up. Yahoo! Apparently the hubby got all my messages about my missing license, even if he hadn’t responded.

After picking up my license and the car (I don’t let the dogs in the truck – too much fur), I headed back home. Upon arrival, I met up with a water dept. employee who informed me that in 20 minutes, they’d be turning off the water to our street in order to fix an issue with our water main. I had plenty of time to fill jugs, pots and the sink to ensure there would be lots of water for the animals and I to drink.

I also received the paperwork for my pension funds transfer, so that’s in process as I type.

Fenris appears to be healing well and the dogs are off to the vet for a checkup this afternoon.

I think someone better pinch me. I can’t believe it’s a Monday…

Often, when I dress up to go out with the hubby, I don’t carry a purse. Instead, I hand off my driver’s license to him and he keeps in on hand in a pocket in case I need it. A week ago on Friday we attended a black tie dinner. As usual, my license was handed over to the keeper of the ID. This time he placed it in his wallet.

Normally I remember to get the ID back – or he remembers to give it to me. This week I forgot. On a standard week, this wouldn’t be a big deal. Unfortunately for me on Wednesday the hubby drove off to go play in the mud (aka: military exercises at another location) for a month. And where’s my driver’s license? Yeah, it’s in his wallet.

Now, I’ve been taking the LRT downtown most of this week and haven’t been driving, so I didn’t notice that I didn’t have it. Late Friday night, as I was prepping to go out to karaoke with the girls, I discovered I had no driver’s license. ACK! Saturday was a wash and today no registries were open within walking distance. Tomorrow I need to get the dogs to the vet so I’ve had to find a friend who can drive me to a local registry so I can apply for a temporary driver’s license.

I am not amused.
