It's been a frustrating day

This day has been so frustrating!!!  I had to take the day off work because the windshield in one of our cars needed fixing.  It's lovely that they will come to the house and fix it, but not so lovely that the appointment frames are either all of the morning or all of the afternoon.  I took a morning appointment knowing that it should give me some time in the afternoon to get other things done.  The guy was here, it took a little over an hour, and by 11:00 I was out the door to run some errands.

One thing I needed to do was renew my driver's license.  I had decided that even though I hate flying and would avoid it at all costs, with Robert in the military and living all over, I should have a new compliant driver's license.  I had heard it was super challenging to get in our state because everything had to be official, but I was thrilled when I found our certified marriage license.  My birth certificate also had an official seal, and I was pleased to be all prepared.  Except of course I wasn't.  They wouldn't accept my birth certificate because it was issued by the hospital and not the county.  I pointed out it had an official seal, and they said it still wasn't an official county birth certificate.  GRRRR!  I had to just take the non-compliant license, and I'll have to work on getting the correct documentation and eventually replacing my license...which of course will cost money.

As I was driving to the license bureau, the plastic and rubber moldings on the new windshield began coming apart.  Well that's not good.  I was pleased however, that the company we used was out of the town to which I was headed, and drove straight there after the DMV...except that it isn't really there.  It's really just a storefront address, and there isn't actually a presence there.  Of course not!  I made a phone call, was told the technician would call me, and after 2-1/2 hours called again and was told the same thing.

This has proven to be so frustrating.  I'm grateful I'm getting some things done around the house, but it is so frustrating that everything has been such a hassle!
