So I have basically turned my mom into my own personal chauffeur. I know she doesn't mind but at least I save all of my running for one day. Yesterday we went to the office so she could pick up her paycheck and visited a few people like my Aunt Robin. Then after that we went to the Secretary of State. We walked in and I grabbed a number.... 03.... they were on 95 so we sat and waited..... and waited.... and waited. It seemed that everybody there had no clue what they were doing there and forgot paperwork or had really dumb questions.
So I waited for the number 03 to be called. Finally, it was my turn! I walked up handed her my paperwork that says "Ms. Johnson is legally blind" and my drivers license. I held my head high, heart thumping in my chest, eyes misting and said "I'm surrending my license due to becoming legally blind." The kind lady took the paper work and looked it over, took my drivers license and began typing into the computer. I had to sign a piece of paper stating that I had canceled my license. In order to get a Michigan ID (even though you just canceled your license) you have to have proof you are who you are.... birth certificate, social security card, bill with your address on it and the canceled driver's license. So now I have to go back next week to get that.
After we left there we went straight to where my step-dad works to fax out a paper for my eye specialist so that I can get a handicap sticker. Fun. Then we went to Wal-Mart to get some stuff that I needed... like hearing aid batteries. Yup, they died yesterday. Finally, I was able to go home and rest for an hour before picking up the girls and taking them to the Meijer Fun Run where 1600 kids showed up to run! It was cold but we all had fun. Still appreciating your sight I hope!
