Hello. So, today was a real adventure. Thank goodness Jed went to Nana's for the day. Ok, so Savannah was given an appointment to take her drivers test last Saturday, we got there and they were closed for the holiday!!! She made another appointment for today at 12:30 but it had to be in Gettysburg because York is booked until May! I picked Savannah up at school and we went to Gettysburg, we waited only about 20 mins, she took her test & passed with flying colors. They told us she HAD to stay and get her picture taken there..today. We could not go anywherelse or it would void her test. The wait time to get her picture taken was 3 hours!!!!!!! Unreal. 3 1/2 hours later it was her turn to sit in the chair. Right before it was her turn the woman doing the pictures traded jobs with the VERY old woman giving out ticket numbers. They were giving them out because they were afraid people would steal them! This woman had to read the computer screen with a magnifying glass NO LIE! Savannah signed her name in that little box and it would not register on the computer. They shut down the system and started it again...twice, it worked after the second reboot of the computer system. They took her picture and printed her license...it came out black and white!!!!!!!! This required a phone call to someone to walk them through fixing it. Again it printed black and white! One more phone call and it actually worked! We ran out of there. It was after 4pm. As we were leaving the police were pulling in, I think the mean lady called them because they close at 5pm and many people that had been waiting for hours were not going to get their pics taken! We did see one fight earlier. It was just amazing. No one in there moves faster than a snail, no matter what is going on but I bet they run to their cars at the end of the day! Just completely unreal! oh and the 4 other people working just watched and did NOTHING!!!!!! AAHHH a great state office at work. So glad my taxes go to pay their well deserved salary!
I am sooo glad Jed opted to go to Nana's.
He is VERY tired and run down. This chemo is kicking his butt. We are just trying to avoid any fevers. He goes for blood tests on Thursday. Cross your fingers for him, we have to get to THON!!!! At least Savannah is driving!!! Gotta go, Love Jed and Kristin
