we'll call it an adventure

so, I went to turn in the application for the four bedroom I haven't seen. Which for me, was adventure enough, as I was using a drive through of the neighborhood to make my decision.
And first, I was blocked in our driveway by the car Z wants to sell, which I has no key for, and is stick. I managed to coast it far enough down the driveway that I could squeeze out.
On the way there, I got lost. Then, I got pulled over by the popo, because they were doing some educational stop sting thing, where they had a guy stepping partway off the curb, and then pulling you over if you didn't stop for him for not yielding for pedestrians. (this was in the rich neighborhood we got lost in, they don't do shit like that in areas I can afford)
And it should have just been the little educational reminder warning, except my DL was fucking expired. Because when you first get a license, it's only good for two years, til you get a real DL. So he couldn't let me drive home. With the kids. So I called to see if someone could come drive my van home, and no one could, of course, until Z got off work 2 hours later. So the nice popo drove the kids and me to the nearest mcdonalds with a playland, where we hung out for two goddamn hours. And my kids didn't like this playground, because it was too small for one too big for the other. fmmfl.
Eventually Z made it to pick us up, and we went and cruised the subdivision the place is in, and dropped off the app. And the area is mildly to moderately sketchy, some of the places are in worse shape than others, but goddamn, a 4 bedroom. I'll put up with a so so neighborhood for 4 bedrooms, 1400 sq feet, and a basement.
