I'm not even sure what a "tribulation" is, but my sister is currently fighting the system in getting her Indiana driver's license since she's moved here (and living with me).
She's been to the BMV four times and still has no DL. What a nightmare for her.
Beginning Jan. 1, the laws changed here (and elsewhere) for proof of who you are. ( I told her to get her DL in Dec., but she's a procrastinator.) She's been married and divorced twice, changing her name each time. So her SS card doesn't match her current name. She has to submit proof she's one and the same person. That means marriage and divorce certificates, not to mention new address proof and IRS papers!
And if you've ever been to the BMV, you know what a hassle that all is.

I made a sweet potato pie (with crust help from sis), to take to the annual Lions Club chili supper (to raise funds for a burn victim). I worked the pie table, pushing my pie, but nobody wanted to take a chance! I was able to bring 3 pieces back home with me. I haven't tried any yet. I ate pecan instead after my chili.

Then I hightailed it to pick up Barb to go to a classical guitar concert performed by a local 17 year old female phenom. She was marvelous--incredibly gifted (Chaconne Klaverenga, if you ever look her up). The audience was mostly elderly folks, but they were quite appreciative, giving her a standing ovation.
And, much to my surprise, they added a bonus of pie a la mode with coffee after the concert! Of course, I couldn't turn down a piece of apple pie. I jogged (finally!) yesterday 5 miles. I'm going to have to double that distance today to run off my indulgences. At least the temperatures have warmed up enough to get outdoors.
