so mom and i had a very busy day. it started with us going to the dmv on 99th street to renew the license plates on my car (which apparently have been expired since 2022 thanks for the heads up dad) and we were almost successful but uncle benson had neglected to sign the lease so we had to "go to his job and get him to sign it". so we killed some time by going to the church and letting mom get some work done. those adults at the church are so incompetent istg no wonder pastor walks all over them. mom acts like saying no to them would kill her so we stayed a bit too long and almost weren't able to get the plates. luckily since we had done most of the paperwork the first time we came they let us in. the plates cost $500 in total but it was worth it since now i can drive without worrying about a cop getting too close to me.
then after that i convinced mom to take me to this vintage market happening up north in avondale. it was held in this factory turned brewery which was very overstimulating when i first walked in but i got used to it eventually. since it was a $10 and under thing the pieces were pretty underwhelming. i did find this simple gold belt for $5 (which upon further inspection at home actually has silver in the center but whatever we move) and the cutest white babydoll set. since it was a lil damaged the seller gave me both for $5. i'm excited to use my new sewing skills to fix it. mom really enjoyed herself but she loves when anything costs little money. afterwards on the way to dinner she told me to keep an eye out for the next one so we can bring auntie darlene. thennn we went to tacotlan which was like a 10 minute drive from the fest, i was worried that since keith lee had just reviewed them that it would be a long wait but we got seated super quick. the food was bombbb hands down the best birria tacos i've had. SUPER juicy and flavorful. and i'm happy to say that horchata has grown on me :) will definitely be my go to drink order at mexican resturants now.after that we headed home and i posted a dance tiktkok to "touch" which i quickly privatedðŸ˜ðŸ˜ and mom made me try on these clothes she got me from the market for church.
other update: after going through two rounds of inteviews at markham library i was sadly rejected
