Woke. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Was dressed to go out and run errands but needed more sleep. Patrick left for tutoring and errands. I napped 3 hours. Woke. Lunch nearby at a restaurant. Errands: post office, picked up maps. Home. Photo processing. After some puzzlement, I figured out today that the whole DMV thing was really just a misunderstanding on my part—I didn't remember receiving the new registration and applying the new registration sticker but I had already done so. So I'm okay to drive again. I don't know how it happened, honestly. But I've set calendar reminders now so that it hopefully doesn't happen again. The weird thing is that when I called the DMV in mid-November they should have been able to clarify the issue but instead they only made it more confusing for me. They mistakenly told me that my renewal was still in process when in reality it had been delivered. Evening snack: peppermint hot cocoa. Watched Heroes episode 9. We've discovered that while watching Heroes I have a superpower—I can accurately predict the future of the show's plot. This time, I accurately predicted what happened to the cheerleader. I've been successful at seeing the future several times in the past episodes but didn't bother to record it here. I don't believe this to be a particularly useful superpower, though. I am sure there are others just like me out there somewhere. Dinner at home with Patrick: grilled chicken and herbs, leftover saffron rice, grilled zucchini. Night run: 15 minutes. Weight training: front raise. Late meal: soup.
