innerslytherinGot my driver's license in the mail today. Thank heavens. I discovered a couple of weeks ago that I'd been driving around with an expired license since my birthday in October. Getting old's a bitch, I tell ya. But of course, because I waited until after Jan 1 to renew it, I had to have my passport, SS card, pay stub, a bill sent to my home address, etc., etc., because Indiana's started this new secure ID process. I also had to not smile for my photo and tilt my face just right, because they scan all BMV photos for facial recognition software. Makes me wonder how Garcia can run facial recognition software on surveillance footage from 20 feet away LOL. Anyway, they mail the license to you, which is oh-so-secure considering the snow plow has hit our mailbox three times this winter and it won't even shut, let alone stay secure. But fortunately it arrived safely.
Also went home from work after just two hours with a nasty migraine setting in. Poor Dad had to drive me home and then go back to work. :( Slept in the car for about an hour before he could get away. Got home around 11:30, went to bed, and slept until about 5:30, when I woke up starving and with just a tiny headache left, thank God. Mom had left me hot chicken soup before leaving for Bible study, which was also nice.
New Criminal Minds tonight! Looks creepy, and reminds me of a book I just read back in December - Hide Your Eyes by Alison Gaylin. It was a weird one, with enucleators and doll collectors. Creeped me out, but it was so well-written with a fun, quirky heroine that I also really enjoyed it.
My church has ties to an orphanage/school in Haiti (one of the elders' sisters runs it, I believe, or maybe his sister-in-law) and frequently does mission trips down there. I had been wanting to take part the last time but didn't have the money. The CBS evening news was entirely about Haiti, and the stories out of there are horrible. I'm glad that the US response has been so quick at least. There's an Indianapolis church with a mission trip currently IN Haiti, and they're still waiting to find out if they're okay.
I feel wrung-out this evening. Looking forward to Criminal Minds and bed. Ooh, but look, I get to use my new Emily headache icon.
PS - Nicky Boothroyd, why did you friend me on Facebook? We have no one in common and I have no idea who you are.
