Only two
It only took two trips to the MVA (motor vehicles administration, for those who do not dwell here in the land of Mary) to get plates. I fully expected that it would take more than that, and that I'd have to go back later for the actual plates, because they have to get the title from my credit union, but apparently that can come later. I had an appointment first thing in the morning, but because we don't (yet) have a printer at home they needed to give me a bunch of forms to fill out (even though I had put most of that into their online system?). Then there was some confusion about whether the husband was on the car registration or not (he's not, though he is on the loan), so I went back late afternoon with the husband in tow, but he didn't end up being necessary in the end. But he got to see the MVA, and we both got out of the house, so not all bad? And at the end of it we got plates. We got the standard 'state flag across the bottom' plates and not any of the fancy ones, and I'll pop those on at some point today.
So now I have to go drop the old plates off in DC at some point. That's literally down the street from the old apartment, so it'll be easy enough to do.
But, due to their 'everything must be scheduled online' appointment system, I can't get a new driver's license until sometime in November, because that was the earliest available appointment. LOL So I'm part of the way there.
Slept in this morning. Alarm went off to go running and I decided another two hours of sleep was more important, so that's what I did. It's a maids day, though, so now I'm scrambling to put things away so she can clean around just what's normally out and not the extra stuff that tends to accumulate outside of its normal homes in the interim. I've been tracking heart rate variability via an app and my apple watch, a once daily measurement, and it's been fun to note how it changes with more or less sleep, and more or less activity. It definite appreciated the extra sleep, as did my brain, which isn't quite as foggy as it felt at 5-something.
