DMV trip this morning

[cjsmith]

I have a temporary disabled parking hang-tag again, for the first time in probably a year. (I gave up on the doctor who couldn't fill out her section of the form. Now I have a doctor again!)

Amazing how quickly one can get into and out of the DMV, without an appointment, if one is willing to show up and queue up before the place opens. I was at work by twenty after eight.

I don't need the placard all the time. I don't even need it frequently. For certain situations, though, there's no substitute. The alternative is to stay home. There's a growing list of events and places I simply won't go.

It's amazing what a relief it is to know I have this thing.

That's exactly it: on good days I wouldn't need it, but on bad days or in big parking lots my other option is to turn around and go home.

I don't know what my current doc would say about a permanent tag. I think he feels he hasn't fully diagnosed me yet, so my guess is he wouldn't feel right about it. But he was very supportive about the temp one. If he can't cure me he may well sign for a perm. (Those are free, too, which is handy. Temps cost money.)

I'll write & let everyone know how the scooter rental works out!
