My birthday was in October. I haven't celebrated it yet. But I did receive the gift of a teal sweater from my younger daughter. I really liked it but she bought it from a young person's store. It was too big in the top and too small in the bottom. I guess young women all have large breasts and small hips. I seem to be inverted.
Yesterday, I finally had time to head to the mall to exchange the sweater. As I was driving, I was thinking about my birthday, or the lack thereof. Birthday. Driving. Birthday. Driving. Oh crap! I checked the back of the car when I got to the mall and sure enough, the sticker expired in October. I've been driving more than a month with an expired sticker.
After exchanging the sweater for a lovely black, grey and white gingham wrap, which doesn't care that I have nearly nonexistant breasts and very functional child-bearing hips, I drove home. Going through my house in my mind, I located where I had stashed the paperwork from the ministry for the new sticker.
Got home and found the paperwork straight away. Double crap! My driver's licence expired on my birthday too. I have been driving completely illegally for over a month. Living as I do with someone who knows all the rules and all the fines, I did hear about it a little.
Went to the licence and permit office office this morning and handed over the paperwork. I was a little concerned because the licence renewal form said that it wasn't valid after my birthday. The clerk didn't even comment. The issue of lateness only came up when she went to grab the new sticker and came back with a December one instead of an October one.
So phew! I am now driving legally.
