Crippled rock star parking

greatbearThanks to the wonderfully kind and delightfully cute ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jacked01, who stood in line for me at the DMV today, I finally have my temporary parking permits. I tried Tuesday at the Columbia office of the DMV, a tiny office in a strip mall the size of a Radio Shack, and the line there was outside the door. Being that this particular day also dealt me with several other bad situations and shitty news, I was ready to give up. Today the crowd at the Beltsville office was a fraction of the horror it was the first time I stopped in last week, Joe had to stand in the much smaller line for about 20 minutes at most, the wait thereafter was less than an hour, time that went by much faster with someone cool to hang out with. Less than 5 minutes at the counter to get the placards and we were on our way. Thanks again, buddy, you made life quite a bit easier for me. I owe ya one.
The ever increasing pain and lack of mobility has finally beaten me down. I no longer have the desire to tinker or otherwise make fun use of my free time. I've been doing more sleeping than much else. Being a tad under the weather doesn't help matters much, either. I know I'm not a bucket of cheer to be around either. At least Jeff and I had a decent dinner at a new place down the road from the house called Twist and Turn Tavern. With all the building up and suburbanization happening around here, at least there are some decent places to eat that are not chains or corporate blandness. Jeff had a ribeye steak that was outstanding, I went with a simple bowl of Maryland Crab soup and a Chicken Caesar wrap. Both were good, and soup is what I like to have when I'm feeling out of sorts.
I have a few other tasks to complete before my surgery, nothing too strenuous, once they are done, I'm pretty much set and can (hopefully) not worry about anything once I go under the knife and I'm benched for four to six weeks afterward. Hopefully once that's over, I can get my life back into some semblance of normal.
So, what's happening with y'alls?
