 What In The world???  How can it be September 24 already!!??  Yesterday it was July and we jump into September just like that—no way! 

  It dawned on me—those socks for hubby I haven’t finished knitting yet and winter will be knocking on the door soon—-NO—I’m not ready—aargh!  Can I even find those socks that were begun in the spring, when I thought there was plenty of time to knit them?  

The other day I went to renew my state driver’s license—I gathered all the documents that were required—birth certificate, passport, social security card, current license—this was after an appointment was made three months in advance—appointment was the earliest possible as I’ve heard stories of long waits—not for me!  I’m going to take the first time available—8 AM!  Which means, early rise, leave house early to beat traffic—I’ll be there early, early!  Put address in my navigation app and away I went!  patting myself on the back—“you’re so smart to arrive in plenty of time” as there was not a car in the parking lot.  

Okay, waiting 25 minutes and the place is still deserted!  What the heck?  What does everyone know that I don’t. 

I’ll tell you what!! I was at the wrong location!  Duh! No wonder no one was here. Looked up to see I was sitting about three blocks away from location at the New DPS instead of the old one.  I wasn’t too clever after all—found right place, walked in way passed my appointment time, check in at kiosk, got my number (056)—oh great!  56 people in front of me!! Alas, my number was called after my Fanny hit the chair—ahhh,  got a nice young man (almost everyone is younger than me now) who laughed with me when I told him I was waiting at the New location—bet he’ll have good laugh with his fellow workers after I leave!! 

Anyway, that chore is finished for another 8 years or if that young man is right—A-I will take over and we’ll not need to make an appearance there again—don’t get me started on that topic! 

Do I or don’t I?  It’s haunting me—Blockheads #5!  So far the block patterns are interesting—but, do I begin another project when I have four quilts to bind, two more table runners to complete, those dang wool socks for hubby, do I really need another challenge?  And then there are all those gift baskets sitting on my kitchen table waiting to be transported to our great grandson’s benefit October 7!!  Let me sleep on that decision—in the meantime, I’m hoping meantime, I’m printing the patterns each week and stashing them in my file folder for future reference. 

I had my biannual med renewal with our doctor yesterday.  The office was empty!  Say what?? Do I have right day and time?  Yes! I do as the assistant called yesterday to remind me.  Sat for about five minutes and my name was called inside the inner sanctuary—a chat about my bill, which was marked delinquent!! No way!  That was paid months ago!  Of course, there goes my blood pressure!   Consult with accounting—sorry, our mistake.  That was paid but credited to husband’s name—Ho hum!  

That is resolved! As I wait for PA, in she walks with NO mask!  Who is this stranger?  This is first time I’ve seen her face—her complete face—in three years!  What a lovely face!  

Life goes on…..
