I got up at 11:30 and had coffee, showered and dressed, and puttered on the computer a little. I packed the documents for the DMV in the computer bag, and left my backpack with my pajamas and clothes and stuff at
mashfanficchick's. Then I left for the DMV with my computer about 1:40.
I just missed a subway, and had to wait longer than usual because the E was running with delays. I got to Jamaica and found the 6 bus pretty easily, but again I just missed one. I was worried about getting to my 3:00 appointment, and worried about finding the DMV after I got to the right stop, But it worked out, though I made the appointment by a hair.
Almost immediately I was called for them to take a new picture for the new ID. I'm sure I was a mess, but that's traditional for DMV pictures. Then I went back to a seat and filled out the application.
I waited awhile, I didn't time it, and eventually they called me to the counter. I handed over the application and my documents.
Unfortunately after all the trouble I went to finding the lease, it was no good because the renewal was two years ago and it has to be less than one. Which it does not say in the online information. So that was a problem but the man let me sign an affidavit that I live here. So that was OK.
Then I paid the $36.50 for the renewal and upgrade to enhanced ID, and that was all. Very simple, very fast.
I packed everything away and walked down to the McDonald's that I passed on the way and got a celebratory lunch. Something called the Big Arch Meal. Very tasty in a fast food kinda' way.
Then I went to the bus stop and took the 6 back to Jamaica. Rather than take the subway again I just took the 44 bus all the way home.
Got here around 6:00. Said hello to Oreo who was happy to see me! Put everything away, set up the computer and put in a Shipt order.
Then at 7:00 I Teamed the FWiB. We talked until 8:00 when I went to my D&D game.
Sadly, there was still trouble with Discord. Particularly in audio. I did most of the game on my phone.
But it was a good game, we killed a minotaur.
Then after the game I fed the pets, had a little something myself, called the Kid who didn't answer, and started here.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. Got to the DMV on time.
3. Was able to use the affidavit for my address.
4. Everything was fine at home.
5. My D&D group.
6. Bed soon.
