My Day at DoPS

Today my brother dropped me off at the Department of Public Safety (DoPS) so I could surrender my

Ohio driver license and get my Texas one. 

After about waiting two and a half hours with a bunch of either super grumpy people or people like me who were like: "Oh well! Let's make small talk with one another and try to be polite because this sucks." I was denied.

My Ohio license, birth certificate, SS card, paperwork from my Texas home loan/home ownership, and a city utility application combined were not good enough to prove identity and residency.

Hey ya'll! I'm in Texas! I've been here for two weeks and I WANT TO GO HOME TO

CLEVELAND!

Ahem, excuse me, I'm still working through some feelings about this whole thing because it all happened very fast. Tom Petty once sang: "It took all winter to get through the summer." I know exactly what he means.
