Tom, Joe, and I left for Joe's Dr. appt. in Miami at 10:30 AM. I got a pic of an overweight-almost-naked guy on a motorcycle. We got there at 1:00. The visit was only $50! The last two doctors we went to were around $200 or more a visit. He has to go back next Wednesday for blood work, more specific than what's been done before. He will go to Fisherman's Hospital in Marathon next week to do a 6 hour sugar test. I'm thankful for the testing they are going to do, but do you think they could have saved us a trip and just scheduled one appointment to do the blood work? Basically, it was "Nice to meet you-$50. Come back next week for tests-$100."
We did kill two birds with one stone but it was a long, hungry day. After the appointment, Tom tried to get the new RV on the road. The first DMV we went to was 40 miles from the doctor's and it wasn't there anymore. It had been closed for about 2 years. Do you think they could update the website? Also, the phone numbers for the DMVs were the same and just recordings. So we found the next closest DMV, 30 minutes away, and went there, Pompano Beach. Joe and I finally got something to eat at Dunkin Donuts, but this DMV didn't do tags. So we found the next DMV in Deerfield Heights I think, 20 more minutes and finally got the tag. There was a fee of over $200 for the tag.
This whole time, Tom was on the phone trying to line up new tires on the RV because the ones on it are really bad and it needs new ones in order for him to drive it to the Keys. I spent some time crocheting.
Next we drove to the storage lot and he showed us the RV. The tire shop had said they could change the tires today but now called and said they didn't have time. So Tom will have to wait till Wednesday to go back to Miami, get the new tires put on, ($1000ish) and drive home, while getting Joe to his Dr.s visit. Tom will also need another driver to get the car back here. He could have gone to the DMV in Key West if he hadn't been trying to get the RV to the tire shop. It was all for nothing but now at least it's done.
The drive back seemed awfully long. I was really sick of sitting in the car. Traffic around Miami was slow. I did take a bunch of pictures of the sun setting. We stopped at Wendy's for salads and finally got home about 9.
I did the dishes and the boys took me over to the studio to see their new furniture and drum arrangement. They decorated the walls by the drums with cymbals and it looks pretty cool. We listened to some new songs that they had written and then some old songs, Joe Walsh, Cheap Trick, and Jackson Browne. Then we came home.
