My new driver’s license arrived on Friday but I actually liked at it closely today and it’s not horrible. I know, I know, high praise indeed.. everyone hates their DL and Passport photos, but I have mastered the art of making my eyes smile when you aren’t allowed to smile. It was strange to see class 5 & 6 instead of 4 & 6. I have had the latter since I was 24 I think, when I got it for search and rescue and driving the crew bus for the railroad. Over the years I have driven school buses for company tours and other interesting vehicles for pay. It cost a lot more than a regular car license and now I also have to get a medical every year which costs more all the time. The passing of another milestone in the aging process, realizing when it is time to let go.
I picked up my new glasses and will start wearing them tomorrow. I like them and have to come to terms with the fact that those smiling eyes come with smile lines now!!
The software programmers at QuickBooks are clever. There were some issues today and the messages were amusing
After work I made some dinner, finished my puzzle and started dissembling the upper cupboard beside the front door. I took off the microwave shelf and then got up on a ladder and had a look. I don’t know what it is hiding but I can see patchwork on the wall and ceiling. It has now become a bigger job but I will figure it out. My usual method is to just let it stew for a bit until something settles as just right. I did arrange for the new furnace to be installed on Thursday so I will have to remove the bathroom vanity on Wednesday night. They will bump into the bathroom more so it doesn’t stick out in the hall at all. It’s a very big expense as I am putting one in that is super efficient and is ready to have an AC unit attached. The good thing is there is a $2000 rebate available. It will just take a while to get from what it says on the website.
I had my last physio appointment for a while. My ear crystals seem to have stayed in place and the work on my neck and popped rib has really improved my quality of life. Mark Johnson is really great and has a lovely personality as well. It has been expensive though as my benefits only pay 20 of the 75 dollars. I wish they would just cover 5 or 6 visits a year in full. Ah well, I have the luxury of going, I shouldn’t complain.
