This was my day:
8:00 At desk, answer emails, do some web work.
9:30 Start trying to get Lina out of the house without Thirteen.
9:45 Lina is in car; we leave for vet hospital in Raleigh.
10:30 Check in at vet hospital. Try to calm Lina, who whines frantically the entire time we are in the building, except when she's growling at other dogs in waiting room.
10:45 Apologize profusely when Lina takes humongous crap on waiting room floor.
11:10 Finally get to see doctor. Lina is still whining.
11:30 Doctor keeps Lina for X-rays. Pay the bill (ouch) and head for Hillsborough.
12:15 Arrive at Hillsborough DMV. Determine that they do not have a separate line for renewals, and that the entire line is outside, and that it is too cold to read while standing outside. Put book back in car.
3:15 Sit at the desk of a very nice man who gives me a new license. He is surprisingly pleasant for someone who's been dealing with DMV Madness for weeks.
3:25 Head back to Raleigh. Stop on the way and grab a bite of lunch at Subway. (The verdict on the low carb wraps: not exactly gourmet eating, but they'll do in a pinch.)
4:15 Arrive at vet hospital. Lina is still whining, louder now. Doctor tells me that the anaesthesia has messed with her head and is making her cry. I tell him that she's always like this at the vet.
5:15 Leave vet hospital. Lina whines the whole way home.
6:00 Arrive at home. Thirteen practically (but not literally) jumps for joy when we come in. Call Stoneline and postpone work tonight. Email Lisa and beg off from Angel night.
6:15 Lie down on couch with a Tivo full of movies.
And that, friends, was my day. I truly understand "hurry up and wait" now.

Good lord. Three hours outside waiting for the DMV? That had better be one excellent photo.
You can see it for yourself in the previous post, but yeah, I'm pretty happy with the photo.
