What a day!

This girl helped me until 9pm get rid of my stupid computer virus last night. I thought I would never get it off. She is so smart and computer savvy. Thank you Kelly.


I look back and see that it could have been an omen of my day today. I had errands to do before the cruise, like pick up medicines, get H1N1 flu shot, get FL driver license, get FL car tags, buy necessaries for the trip and go to Wal-Mart for Mom.
Well, for some reason, I usually have a hard time at CVS when I pick up my meds, but didn't this time, I even had a $7.50 free coupon and I used it to buy bottled water to bring on the trip. Vic and I like at least two bottles a day on a cruise. Also at least, 2 cokes a day which we also bring, it leaves room in the suitcase to bring back good stuff. They were nice an lugged it to the car for me. So I went to Walgreens for the shot and that was where the long wait and get in three lines commenced. I finally got the shot and left for the Tax Collector's Office where they do the tag and license. Well, while you wait for your turn, they give you a paper to read about what you need for your FL license, they just started this new proceedure. Well, I thought I was well prepared, GA license, passport, several forms with my new address, and then I saw I had to have my social security card or W2. So I leave and go home and get my SS card and return. No problem, get my license, even the photo wasn't bad. So we start on the tag. I kind of wanted a vanity plate that said, I'm back. But they could save me $250. if I used the COURSEY tag we had when last in FL so I agreed. We get to the last thing and it is the insurance, they said, I needed my insurance from a Florida company. Great! I find out that Florida is no fault and has to be by FL co. So I leave again, find the company we use, and transferred from GA to FL. Cost $300. up front, then taken monthly from my checking acct. Fine. They will call and get me a rebate for the unused portion of the GA acct. Back to the tax collector. I wait and wait, again. Lots of people showed up while I was at the ins. co. three people ahead of me and the computers go down. Turns out it happened earlier in the day and the trouble took one hour to fix and the problem was with Tallahassee office. Forget it. I go to the Dollar Store and to WalMart. Get mulch for Mom, tp and towel p and butter for Mom. A new blood glucose meter, tylenol, dramimine, stuff for trip. And realize it's too late to try to go back to tax collector so will have to go next week. Get home, too tired to get mulch, water, and paper products out of the car, they are still there. There is always tomorrow. Anyway, I have stuff to pack into the extra suitcase when I recover from my busy day.
