A record of my life updated at random times and for random reasons.

Nothing much has been happening here the past week. Life has settled into a routine, and it has been quiet lately.

The plants are all doing well and growing fine, except for a tomato and some seeds that were planted (dill, chives, parsley). I suspect it is to hot for them already. As I was filling my water bucket out front, a movement on the wall caught my eye. I looked, and it was some kind of small lizard (gecko??) crawling away from me. It was no bigger than my little finger. Because I was doing this before the sun was fully up, it was hard to determine color and finer details.

Today I contact DPS and see if I can finish getting my driving license. Other than that, I have no big plans. Sometime next week I may go exploring around Lewisville, but I have not decided just yet.

I am now official. I went down to DPS thinking half an hour of line standing (at least) but was shocked to see no line. I went in, paid my money, got my photo taken and walked out an official driver. It will take time for the actual license to arrive (6-8 weeks).

Fueled up as well, cost me 17 for a tank (roughly 7 gallons and 200 miles), which works out to 28.4 mpg. So not great, but that was all in town, lots of stop/go, wait at lights.

It feels very weird though. Driving, fueling, and all legal.
