My birthday approacheth, and with that comes the expiration of my driver's license. The online reminders that I got about that didn't happen to mention that, in Indiana, one can only renew a license online every OTHER time. I needed to go to the license branch to renew, since the last time I renewed was online. Oookaayy.
In the process of trying to renew online, I came across the information that my so-far secure driver's license would no longer allow me on airplanes after 10/1/2020. I need what is called a REAL-ID.
In order to get a REAL-ID, I need to provide a birth certificate, an SS card, a document to show name change, and proof that I have bills in my name. No problem. I've lived in this same house since 1992...blah, blah. I absolutely knew where my documents were. All I had to do was gather them together to get my REAL-ID.
Guess what? My folder that says "Important Documents" on it, that I absolutely KNEW where it was, wasn't there. The Important Documents folder contains my birth certificate, my marriage information, etc...but I can't find it. I've looked everywhere. Even my cleaning lady has assisted. Nope. Nowhere. It's frustrating! I'm looking into how to get replacement documents, thankful that I still have a lot of time to do it, but upset that I have to go there. SOMEWHERE in this house is the info I need. Just as soon as I replace it, it will show up. Trust me! In the meantime, I am digging and digging in the chaotic file system to try to create order, so that the next time a document is required, I might be able to find it. I hope it happens in my lifetime. Otherwise, my poor daughter will have to deal with it after I croak.
My new bedtime prayer is:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my life to keep,
Until I have my business done,
So all I leave will be just fun.
Amen!
