looking forward to the extra day on my tags next year

dear it really ain't that funny diary,

the lady at the driver's license facility got a kick out of me. and there was really no need for all of that. i am sure there are other people who buy stickers for cars that ain't theirs while they are buying their sticker as well. i thought the truck was in my ex-husbands name- i was mistaken- it's in his girlfriends name- but that doesn't matter to me- i also pay the insurance on it- so i suppose somewhere in my head i did know it was in her name- i just must have forgot. what does it matter anyway- just sell me the damned sticker and shut up. not today- the clerk found this all to amusing and wanted to know more. i had the correct plate number i read from a locked text message- which i transposed to a paper for her to make reference to- which she did several times. finally i got what i came for- the two new yellow stickers. i put one in an envelope and one in my glove compartment and off to the mailbox i went. then i sent a text message to my ex-husband with a picture of the yellow sticker. "mailed that," i said, "to your girlfriend," it read. and something else i found out- did you know it's a leap year next year?
