Whew!

This morning started off with a bang!  By 10:30 this morning:

I so love our peonies!

• The Husband had been up to the DMV twice!  First time for the appointment for renewing his driver's license.  Second time to take up the required documentation - the new laws require more documentation that who you say you are, you actually are.  (Discovered the name on his birth certificate is spelled wrong.  After all these decades, really?)  More forms to fill out, more documentation for them to scan.

• Had several calls from (and visited)  a lending institution - switching credit cards (don't like spending $95 / year for the privilege of using the current one.) More forms, more documentation.  The upside?  Both of our credit ratings are within 14 points of the maximum.  So glad we've been so careful all these years. Hope we receive as high scores from the personal references.

• Been for a walk with a friend, been downstairs several times (yes, that's a rarity for me), done several loads of laundry, dispensed the necessary anti-stress hug (there are more where that came from), made an appointment for an oil change in the Charger, called about the broken window.

• Hoping now for a bit of a calmer rest of the day.  We felt behind and we didn't even go anywhere over the weekend!  Though the end of the day will include attending Hale for our play.  I hope it makes me laugh.

Feeling gratitude for not having to "storage dive" for the requisite documents - knew right where they were, and they were where they should be.  And by the end of the afternoon I'll be grateful for the air conditioning that we enjoy.
