Dangit, I keep missing days! Alright, so back up to Thursday and my license. We arrived and I got in line and they told me to have insurance card and my permit, but we left the insurance in the car so Brad had to go get it. He came back then I went up to a counter and filled out paper work, they took my picture, and then I had to go get a ticket so I could wait to be seen again. I was called again and went to a counter to get more papers checked then they told me to pull my car around to the side in this circle drive and park facing the parking lot then wait for my instructor. I drove the car up and around the circle (but going the wrong way… lol..) then didn’t know where to stay so I pulled down in front of the driving course in the park space nearby. I sat and watched someone go through the course then saw them drive off onto the actual road part of the test. I waited. My appointment was at 3:20pm and it was just a few minutes after 3pm. Waited, waited. Eventually they came back and the car pulled up close to mine and the instructor got out and was talking to someone else then when the teenage girl got out of the car she looked very disappointed. :/ Maybe she didn’t pass. Looked maybe 16. Anyway, so those people walked back the building and I decided that I should probably get the car back up beside the building where they told me to go. I went back up there and parked then here comes my instructor! She told me to roll down my windows and did the car inspection part. She had me test out the brake, horn, signals, etc. She got in, said hello, then explained the driving test 2 parts. One inside the driving course then 2nd part on the actual road. We drove down to the driving course and got started! First part.. parallel parking. I went blank, lol. I told her I was nervous and she said it was ok, that I could do whatever I needed to do to feel comfortable. She said some people sing the whole time, lol. Or that I could say the steps outside, which is exactly what I had asked Brad about doing beforehand the day prior (and he said no lol) so I felt great about that. I thought of the steps in my head and she said people get 2 tries with the parallel parking. I did the steps and I GOT IT THE FIRST TIME! Woohoo! I had to get out of the spot then back the car completely into another spot and that was pretty hard since I had to back up, go forward, back up, go forward a whole bunch before I finally got it! I pulled out of there and she said to straighten the wheel completely then stop. I had to back up and keep it straight without the wheel moving elsewhere for as long as she told me to then I stopped and she said to go 15-20mph then stop when she said to stop. Then she said congrats you have passed the driving course part of the test! YAY. We drove to the actual road driving part and she said for me to go left and I turned right LOL. I said I’m so sorry- she said it happens often haha. The actual driving on the road was super easy! We drove back and she said I could park wherever I wanted then we got there and she said, congrats, you are now a licensed driver! I told her she was AWESOME. She mentioned I could let her boss know that I said that, lol. I went inside with a huge smile on my face then went to counter 2 where the instructor told me to but no one was there. I waited a little over 5 minutes then someone came finally. I paid for the license and got my paper copy!! I went over to Brad and gave him a thumbs up! I drove the rest of the evening! We drove over to Krogers and my only mistake while driving over there was we went on one of the roads and that lane came up to the turning lane and I needed to get over and Brad said I could speed up and pass but I wasn’t going fast enough and there was a moving truck behind us so umm.. I was way too close as I passed and they honked… wooops. We got a few things at Kroger then drove back to Mom’s to get Katie and I could tell Mom and my Aunt the good news about my license!!! WOOHOO. I came home to eat a late late snack then get a few things done and then my church friend invited me to ride with her and someone else to our monthly women’s gathering and I said sure! Except.. I hadn’t eaten dinner but decided I would be alright until I got back. Well, lol the meeting was fun but we stayed later than I thought! We didn’t get home till almost 10pm. I was starving! Overall awesome tho.

Everyone knew the area might get snow/ice so Katie’s school let them out 2 hours early yesterday. Brad got to come home about 2 hours early too! It started to snow in the afternoon and then more into the night and we got a nice dusting! It was sooo cold last night. We headed out last night real quick earlier than usual to get shopping done. I got up around 9AM this morning and It was snowing a bit! I went back to sleep around 9:30am and didn’t get up until almost noon. We have just been hanging out today and went out to buy a few more things and OMG it was so windy and felt like 15 degrees. EEESHH. I’m supposed to go with my Aunt’s friend to meet my new potential boss’s wife to get an idea of what I would be doing, IF I took this office job. I’ve already told my Aunt’s friend that I wouldn’t feel comfortable driving the long distance alone to where the boss’s main office and house is every day.. its a little over an hour drive on one of the main interstates but the boss told me before that after I had training they could see about setting me up at their other office that is closer to me. I HOPE SO. If not, then I will find something else. It will all work out.

Also, I’m hoping that I’ve found what will really help my health. I was reading old emails between me and the holistic person that helped me back in 2010 and 2011. He said in one of the emails that since I don’t have my gallbladder that I would need to take bile salts the rest of my life. I remember buying them in 2011 but never really using them. I ordered some today and they will be here Tuesday. I know I need more liver support and I will buy a supplement for that when we get tax money and so for now I will start taking the bile salts, which I know will help a LOT. I’ve been having to run the bathroom for quite some time now and that automatically tells me that my fat absorption is really messed up without the gallbladder, which is why I haven’t been able to lose weight and why my health has been such a disaster for a long time.

Well, tomorrow we’re gonna sleep in and I’ll see about getting some cleaning done! Off to play LOTRO and relax!!!
