I scribbled over my Master Number and such.

I have been putting my trials with my road tests on a previous entry, but yep; passed yesterday!

I wasn't very nervous taking it, but was prior as the driving instructor puts me right on edge and grates at me. But taking it I was calm. I passed well below the allowed mistake points and the examiner was proud of my perpendicular park, how I handled 3 motorcycles running a red light while I was already turning in the intersection, & that I put my turn signal on+shoulder checked when we came to a car parked in the middle of the road.

I think I was just too fed-up to be hella nervous this time. I had the attitude of "let's just get it over with". I didn't expect to pass but I didn't think I'd do really bad either. I was more confident but not self-confident.

Middleton's Registry of Motor Vehicles no longer has a permanent examiner after the one they had suddenly left the job. So they gave been getting in whoever else is available meaning they have a huge backlog.

The first time I was a mess and the examiner didn't know the Middleton area at all. )

The second examiner was so nice but I had a lot of stress and made too many little mistakes. )

The 3RD time I was more practiced & feeling more confident! )

It felt hella surreal when I was paying for my new graduated license like it felt like that couldn't possibly be what was actually happening. I held the still warm freshly printed license in my hands and so much weight was off of me.

This will make employment ability much more reachable and a better living situation for me & my babies feel possible. Everything has felt so pointless. I still owe the driving school money from my last extra lesson and they're ransoming my defensive driving certificate until they get paid. So I can't get insurance sorted until I have that certificate. But I feel so accomplished!

When I got back all 3 of my gorgeous cats were laying on the chesterfield and it made me so happy to see them first thing.

Got to write my written driving test finally and passed it the 2ND time (I messed-up the hand signals 1ST time which really bothered me as I use them for bicycling. I was so upset over my notes disappearing and my studying went out of my head.**). I've passed it 6 times before, but not since 2010 and lots of things had changed slightly so I worried I'd fuck-up. The Nova Scotia Beginner's test is a vision test, a 20 question test on signs, and a 20 question test on regulations. They allow 2 wrong on each part of the 40 questions. I had 4 wrong the 1ST 2015 writing--I got the hand signals mixed-up, speed in s crawling lane which I'd never heard of, and selected the wrong answer on a passing question because I erased my original answer and put the letter that had "signal" in the answer. If I hadn't fucked-up the right & stop hand signals I would have passed then. Anyway this time I just had hand position on backing-up wrong (it's 12 o'clock not 10 o'clock). I got pissed at the one grading though because she hasn't been showing-up to when the listed write dates were. It was supposed to be temporarily every other week, but she only went 1 week in April, and 2 in May. And the office doesn't know until the start time so I went 3 times and waited until learning the instructor hadn't arrived. They said she was between 3 jobs but fuuuuuuuuuuck. It takes a 30 minute drive to get there, and I'd studied so hard before. She also made me take the vision test without my eyeglasses on, despite it being in my file and on my expired licence that I need "corrective lenses". She kept pointing-out how I was getting the letters wrong condescendingly in front of the other test takers (most of which were 10 years younger than me). Yesterday she suggested the kids go to Kentville's Registry of Motor Vehicles instead if they could get a way there (Kentville is 1 1/2 hours away) and said she could only guarantee she'd be in Middleton on June 20TH. I didn't even study this time because I was so disgusted the other times.

Anyway there's my licence with my awful picture & bad haircut.

My usual hairdresser is away on leave from surgery and the one I’ve had before decided to go for lunch [after telling her boss she was just going to get a drink. She got back while I was still waiting and gave me a dirty look (probably knowing she’d be in crap) as she carried her Subway meal to the back area.]. So the new student hire they have cut my hair. And though I told her how short I wanted the front she kept going, cut a big chunk off, and panicking had to get the owner to try to even it off so it would grow back better. My next haircut there is free (Nadine was very apologetic and witnessed me telling her to leave the front long, and was glad I remained calm & understanding. She was very unhappy with my scheduled hairdresser.), and she did a good job on the back, but I really hate the front. Nadine gave me a choice of cutting more off or doing a flip-over. I chose more symmetry. The front won’t stay down though, and I tend to feel like a rooster. Or as my friend Marts & I decided maybe Tintin. Or possibly that guy from "Doug". I’ll go with Tintin.

I left my notes from Discover Driving in the car and either the heat or moisture caused part of the ink on each page to disappear. It took me hours sitting in a Tim Horton's parking lot going over tge impressions my pen left in order to rewrite them. I had to do it in sunlight to see them. I use FriXion pens.

I've been playing "Bioshock" on PS3 finally too.

Well I went in today to rewrite, and I was A LOT less stressed, and I got 39/40~ I got an answer wrong on the written having to do with Yield signs in place of Stop signs, but I was quite happy that I did so well. And yes, there are mayflowers on Nova Scotia's licenses to prevent forgery. Also it is very rainbowed :3

 

I also had my doctor's appointment in the morning and got the paper for my chest x-rays, and got a referral to see a specialist in Halifax (the nearest city to me). He also confirmed my breathing test request, and gave me a capsule-type inhaler to help with the shortness of breath a bit. I found after the first dose, that I could breath a bit better, but I find mostly it has helped with the fuzzy feeling, at least until about an hour ago.

I haven't read your e-mail yet, as I have to keep myself calm so I can pass my re-write tomorrow [and I am scared (I will get to it eventually)]. But I want to apologise. Also the Tracking Number is: "CX 278 716 451 CA" [it was sent on the 20th]

And I guess I should make a post about what I have been doing lately, since I haven't posted a real entry in over 6 weeks.

on Twitter ) 

So I haven't been checking/active on LiveJournal much at all in the past few months, but I want people to know it is not about not wanting to talk to any of you! I just don't know how to go about it. I am going to start being more active around here again though, just as soon as things get a little less busy.

on difficulty talking with text lately )
on my phone or how I do not recommend Bell-Aliant )

I also had a very good Christmas. I didn't over-eat this year~ Last year I ate way too much, and gained a lot of my weight back. My pants are a bit snug now, but I don't feel as bloated as I did in 2008. I ate so much because I missed most of Chistmas the year I was in college, and most of the good food that is avalible over the holidays. I got a graphics tablet, and a bunch of games [2 plus 6 months of RuneScape membership], and A LOT of Vancouver Canucks stuff. Avon had a set of NHL team glasses & bowls, so my mom got me a set of Canucks' ones. I think they are right cool~ I also got Christmas crackers this year. Last year I didn't get any, and finally got a box of party ones at Easter-time. They have become a kind of tradition with June, me, & Wendy. We open a box on Christmas Eve and on New Years' Eve :3 I like the popping sound the best, but I also love getting a real-life party hat [party hats are old, rare, and expensive items in RuneScape]

But I should be getting to bed now, as it is later than I planned-on, and I need to go to a doctor's appointment and then rewrite my license test. And THEN hopefully I can get back with TELUS and be settled finally.

Ciao, and I hope not to disappear for another 6 weeks loves,
