Today, my youngest daughter is to take her driver’s license test. On the way to the driver’s license station, she was driving too fast and I ask her to slow down. When she was approaching stopped vehicles making a turn or a stop sign, it was like full steam ahead. I told her again, she was making me nervous and please slow down. It was raining and under those conditions, I advised her if she didn’t listen to what I was telling her she would get points off the test or fail it. Well, she flunked and the reasons mainly was driving too fast and when approaching a stop sign, plus she knocked over the orange cone in the maneuverability part of the driving. Knocking over the orange cone, automatically fails a driver.

I know she is disappointed as her boyfriend is too. Recently, her boyfriend has been experiencing seizures from epilepsy. His doctor has now advised no driving for 3 to 6 months since he experienced another seizure a few days ago. I know he was counting on my daughter to drive him to and from work with his car. It also affects me as I have to go and pick her up at different times of the night after he gets off work or she gets off work.

When I get back home, I found an upset family member. He was upset over trying to use TaxAct and the Ohio State Tax office not accepting two Form 1040A for his two different employers. He said he had filed this way for three years. He was also upset that he has to pay income tax and state tax.

Feeling the stress from both of them today has not been easy for me. A neighbor just came over and told me I left the lights on my vehicle. Guess dead battery. This is the fourth time this month I have left my lights on and had to get jump starts for three of them. This time the battery will not hold a charge. Guess it is time to buy a new battery. Will have to see about an adjustment since I bought the battery in 2005 and it is a 65+ months battery. The place of business that I bought it from is closed till tomorrow morning.

When it rains, it pours in my world about so much stress in one day. Just wish it would come all at once. Sure is making it hard to not go buy a pack of cigarettes. My blood sugar levels have not been that great today either.

Keep me in your continued good thoughts and prayers I get through these frustrations.
