Still deeply annoyed that I scanned and uploaded this document and got it pre-verified by DVS just to avoid this exact scenario. Alas. I have been defeated by bureaucracy.

I didn’t want to bother to dig up another document, make another appointment, drag myself back to the county service center, so I just renewed my DL as standard. I have a passport and global entry, so I didn’t need the Real ID to fly. I’ll be fine.

…because one of my scanned, pre-verified documents was my recently-received 2026 Proposed Property Tax Statement. Turns out that doc has to be current or last year. So, if I’d had 2025 or 2024, all would’ve been fine. But not 2026. Make it make sense.

The chiro did adjustments (which who knows whether or not they helped). But I got massage and TENS therapy at my chiro appointments too, which definitely helped and ultimately resolved my pain after a few treatments.

I saw a chiro years ago for some truly excruciating back pain that turned out to be caused by some super gnarly muscle spasms. This was after my primary care doc had tried several rounds of muscle relaxants which did nothing. (1/2)

At a potluck Thanksgiving with my former in-laws, a cousin brought a homemade pie of their own invention. It was pumpkin *cranberry*. In which the cranberries had not been prepared or sweetened in any way and simply dumped into the pumpkin custard before baking. It was, uh, not a success.
