Day 41: Car Anxiety to the max!

After buying some comics and going to see Baby Driver last night with John and Aubrey, I found my worst nightmares about the car coming true. My mother informs me at 11 this morning that the title has come in and we are meeting my uncle in Hendersonville at 2pm to get it. Hendersonville is about 45 minutes from Greenville. Today was the last day to get my car registered before rates go up. Of course, to register your car, you have to pay property taxes first. Everything, timing wise, seemed stacked against us. There was also this lingering problem of proof of insurance...would it be required? If so, we had even less time than we thought.

We get to Hendersonville at 1:30 and my uncle says he'll be another hour. Unless we want to meet him closer to where he lives. Mom and I drive another half hour away and meet him in Arden, NC. We finally meet him and get the documents signed over. Mother and I are stuck in a traffic jam on I-26 so that we are still in North Carolina at 3:30. We rush into Greenville and I make my way through the two offices at the tax collection section I needed to get my bill and pay my bill. I ended up in line behind a nice young couple who were also in front of me at the DMV. They let me borrow a pen and clipboard. I got out of the DMV at five til 5. They close at 5pm. I somehow got all the paperwork done in the pouring rain with the help of mom driving like a maniac.  She has so much road rage, I see where I get it from.

As a nice topper, we stopped for food at Pete's after calling in the order. They left out half of it. After waiting 30 minutes in the drive through line, I had to go in and wait another fifteen. To make matters even better, our television is on the fritz and my dad has lots of opinions about that. Trying to fix the tv, I broke our internet connection. Charter had to fix it all remotely but the tv is still down. Now, I have a new cloud of anxiety over me in that dad will pout until it is fixed. And I don't know how to fix it.

Tomorrow, I get the actual car!
