Bad day

I was pretty tired and out of it today and didn't feel so well. I didn't want to go anywhere, but Alice needed my truck so I ran some errands on the way to her house. Or that's what was supposed to happen. As I was leaving I noticed that Rocksy hadn't eaten anything since yesterday I was worried. Turns out she was just being finicky, but I didn't know that yet. I passed the courthouse where I was to pick up my license plates; my sticker is expired. So I went on to Alice's figuring we could get them when she took me home. Except that I forgot my checkbook, the check I wanted to cash and to pay my bill at Koch's (for the new bed we ordered!! It's a pillowtop and will be here on the 13th...) and get insurance for the pickup I was driving at State Farm. So we went to my house and picked up the checkbook, found out Rocksy finally ate and we went on our merry way. So on the to the courthouse to get new plates, guess who got pulled over by the Sheriff? (Deputy or whatever, it wasn't the city police!) Me! He called the treasurers office and found out that, yes, my plates are there (my title was mailed on the 15th, it finally arrived!) and so I only get a warning. But I was driving without any insurance. So I had to leave Alice and Bruce in my pickup, hitch a ride with the officer to state farm and get me some insurance. Which I did. Got a ride back and proceeded on our merry way again, getting everything done this time, including getting my plates! If only I had my checks with me. I'd had the cash and check card, but they charge extra for using it. Then I found out from Chantz that I am probably getting a $250 fine for my citation of driving w/o insurance to buy insurance. I should have taken the damn fee.

6:30 and I get a call from State Farm, which closed at 5. Turns out they can't cover me until the 16th, when their new rules come into effect. My insurance is void, please bring back your temporary card and get your check back.

I am having a bad day.
