My warranty

Today the sun was shining so I knew today would be the day to do any driving errands, as cloudy days make me scared to drive because I get too brain-fogged. Ben was out with me. I missed a few turns and forgot a few very important items (like Ben's birth certificate so he could take his permit test). I was feeling brain-fogged anyway. Ben asked me why I've been so forgetful and spacey lately. I explained that I'm adrenal fatigued. I had a list of symptoms quite long. I can't remember all of what I told Ben, but this is what I'm experiencing...
1. Excessive fatigue and exhaustion, chronic fatigue
2. Non-refreshing sleep
3. Sleep disturbance, insomnia
4. Feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope
5. Craving salty and/or sweet foods
6. Sensitivity to light
7. Low stamina and slow to recover from exercise
8. Slow to recover from injury or illness
9. Difficulty concentrating, brain fog
10. Low immune function
11. Menopause symptoms
12. Low blood pressure
13. Sensitivity to cold
14. Allergies,
15. Arthritis
17. Anxiety
18. Irritability
19. Depression
20. Reduced memory

Then Ben said, "So, basically what you are saying is that your warranty has expired?"

"Yes, I guess when the warranty ends, the product breaks down doesn't it?"

I just hope they don't trade me in for a new model!

So our afternoon of errands went on... We went to the driving school to sign him up for the 6 hrs of Behind the Wheel, but we forgot Ben's money. So I wrote a check. Then we had to drive all the way back home and get his birth certificate and go back to where we were (plus a little farther) to the DMV. I brought the baby in to give her a quick nursing and diaper change, grabbed Ben's money, the birth certificate, and we were off again. Stopped at the bank to deposit Ben's money to cover my check, arrived at the DMV 20 minutes later. I couldn't figure out where to park. The DMV does driver's tests there so there is a small pretend city set up around the grounds for new drivers to take their test right there rather than on real city streets. In my confusion, I ran one of their red lights, and then almost went down a one way the wrong way. It was stupid. It was a street with four lanes going one direction separating two parking lots! Finally I found a place to park, and entered the building only to find out that they locked the door just 3 mintues before our arrival in the building. They close at 3:45??? There was a lady there complaining that they shut and locked the door right as she was the next in line to enter, and that the same thing happened to her yesterday too! I guess when we go next time I'll make sure we go there when public school is in session so we don't have to battle the lines! So back to home we started only to notice that we were almost out of gas! My van is unpredictable, and I've run out of gas in it twice before, so we started praying to make it to a gas station! Well, we did thankfully. Then I went home and took a well needed nap!
