Got the goods

I finally have gotten the goods and it has been coming in handy.  It didn't come without a little bit of a cost, namely waiting in line at the DMV -- everyone's favorite activity.  Seems like one could come up with a better system for the DMV, but no matter, that's not my point here.  Besides, due to my "gimp" status (Matt's description for me), I got to skip to the front of the line to get my number.  It still took 45 minutes of waiting before we got called to the front though, poor suckers at the back of the line.  (The line was already wrapped around to the back of the DMV by 8:15!)  We also waited at the laboratory, the pharmacy, and the disability office that morning.  Matt said we should have just hit the Social Security Office for good measure, while we were at it.  Anyway, so here it is:

Never thought I'd have one of these.  But let me tell you, I'm "loving" it, so to speak.  There is absolutely nothing good about crutches: if you are hopping around, your hands and arms start hurting; but if you stop and stand, your good leg and foot starts hurting.  There's no winning.  Now we park at the front, and save my hands from blisters and my left leg from aching.  It also cuts down on bitching and moaning (from all parties involved).  So, it may be a little drastic to go to such lengths to get my Handicap placard, but a gimp girl's gotta have some perks, right?
