I've decided to get my act together and finally get my license back...

I have to take a 20hr driving class. The plan was to take a class held on 3 consecutive Saturday mornings, but the next opening isn't until December and I don't want to relearn how to drive in the snow...

So I've decided to do something absolutely shocking to me and take a class that's held over a weekend and requires me to stay over 2 nights. Open classes are Oct. 30th and Nov.13th. But I want to go to the earlier one because I could be able to get my license back in November.

I know I'll be thrown together with strangers in close quarters long enough for them to notice my scar and ask about it. But I just need to suck it up and get this class over with, and I think the experience will be good for me. I can't continue to hide and avoid life.

Because it's an overnight thing, I'll have to have pdoc sign a med release. No big deal. They have to lock up the Klonopin, but they said they'd lock up the rest of my pills if I want them to- and I do- everyone there has been convicted of either d/d or being caught driving on drugs. I don't want someone taking a couple of 400mg Seroquel pills because they'll take anything... that would be a bad thing.

It's a bureaucratic pain between two states after that and our car insurance is going to go WAY up, but it's nothing short of what I deserve. But getting this done will be worth it because I've spent a couple grand on cabs in the last 9mo. getting to pdoc appointments alone.

I can't believe that I'm willing to do this overnight thing, yet I'm getting no sense that I'm going to change my mind. Strange. I imagine my anxiety is going to grow the closer I get to the class though.
