My weekend will be spent praying no police see my car because I found out this morning that my drivers license was denied due to medical reasons, despite my filling out the required form back in March and having confirmed with my doctor's office that they did indeed fax in the form back then.

Oh, and Hubby has surgery on Monday, and I don't know if I'll be able to get this resolved then.

Lot's of getting-that-shit-resolved-ma towards you. Not to mention health-ma for your husband.

What Gud said, connie. On both counts.

Thanks for that, Trudy!! I'm just boggled that my life right now is better than my sibs in some ways.

Ohhhh, rainy here today. Not just rain, but thunder, lightning, and near darkness--you have to have your lights on in the house to see anything, and the headlights on the car are not just to satisfy state law, they're really necessary.

I might postpone the drive over to Omaha Steaks until tomorrow afternoon, when I'll be closer to the mall. I really don't want to be driving in this, especially at the start of Friday rush hour.

I feel bad for my sister. She's driving down to Chicago to see the Harry Potter thing at the Museum of Science and Industry. The museum is way on the South side. Then she's driving up to Evanston to pick me up. She hates driving in Chicago, btw.

How bad do you suppose the traffic will be at 3:00 on Lake Shore Drive or 90/94?

Friday afternoon, with rain? Hor.ren.dous. Rush hour starts at about 1:00 on Fridays, so it'll be in full swing by 3:00.

Today I am rushing home from work and cleaning like a mofo, as my MiL and her BFF are staying for the weekend. My MiL is a VERY clean person. A famous family story about her--she was staying with my SiL to recover from major spinal fusion surgery. She wasn't supposed to lift or carry anything. SiL came home to find her standing on a stepladder on the dining room table, dusting the blades of the ceiling fan.

It's an excuse to do a real spring cleaning, so I don't honestly mind that much. DH is doing the kitchen and I am doing the rest of the house. Tomorrow morning we do the yard.

That's what I was afraid of.

Gah. I should call and warn her. If she was more familiar with the city I'd tell her to come to Evanston first and take public transit down to the museum. Hmmm... maybe I'll suggest that anyway.

Happy birthday, Plei!

I'm going to visit my family this weekend. While I'm there, I plan to sleep a lot, play with my niece, see my sister's new house, and attend at least one backyard barbecue.

Happy Birthday Plei!

I wish I was at the f2f, but ah well!

My plans this weekend involve helping my BFF to make a Wizard of Oz bedroom set for her daughter. Hopefully.

This sucks, connie.
