i have a license again!

i had so much fun today. i got to go down to the daley center which is downtown in the pouring rain complete with thunder and lightening. i had to pass through security and then i got to go to a courtroom in the basement with no windows and wait for the judge to appear. i had brought my book with me so no big deal. once the judge arrived, he gave a long explanation about stuff that went over my head and since i looked like the most intelligent person in the room (not to stereotype, but really) i figure it must have been 'hunh?' to them too. anyways, whatever. all i was there to do was show them proof of my new registration and get my license back. the judge called my name and i did just that. then i was free to go. back in to the even heavier rain. but, i must say i'm glad i had to go today and not yesterday. yesterday was gorgeous and i did a nice long run along the lake. it was a balmy 50 and sunny. i'm just happy that i don't have to carry around my passport anymore!
