It is finally here!!!! It arrived in the mail last night. Back in November, I went to get my new driver’s license. I waited patiently for 6 weeks for it to show up. I have had a number of fights with the DMV when it didn’t. They wanted me to do it all over again. Go in in person, fill out paperwork, have them send it again. Silly people, I did that once already and it didn’t work the first time. Why would it work if we do it again. This is not a computer that you can just fix things by rebooting. “I’m sorry, that is what you have to do.” In theory, I could have it sent to another address (my work address gets things to me)but I was never comfortable that they wouldn’t just change the address on my license. I don’t want my BGI address on something that will last 5 years.

So I chose to ignore it. Hide my head in the sand. Dealing with it made me so angry, I couldn’t function at work. No more dealing with it during business hours. No more dealing with it ever. Then I get an email from my mom. My Driver’s License is in Bali. Yes, Indonesia. Other side of the World.

Turns out that the Post Office has decided that my mother’s (Wanda Lee)forward order from a year ago should be used on this piece of mail to Palmer, Gina Lee. Thank you Post Office (Argggg). The mail was sent to Colorado. The woman my mother had collecting her mail in Colorado has instructions to send anything with my name on it to me. We wonder if this woman ever had more than two brain cells because it was sent onward to my mom in Bali. She then sent it to me.

For those that are trying to count, the total wait: 13 weeks.
But it is here now and We are happy. The picture came out pretty well.
