The Monkey And The Plywood Violin

I've been ignoring a few things, so they've gone and snowballed on me. See, we may get a lot of snow tonight, so I wanted to know what to do with my car.
On my street, you're not supposed to park on the odd side if there's four inches or more of snow. Normally, that means everyone just parks on the even side
Except, of course, that the even side is occupied by a school. So you're not allowed to park there between 7 am and 4:30 pm. I am rarely up by 7, and it's full at the moment anyhow. No snow sticking as of yet, so I'm just going to cross my fingers.

Of course, then I realized that my parking permits were due to expire tomorrow. So I need to get new ones. Except the permits are for my IL license plate, which expires at the end of January. And if I transfer my registration, I'll need to get a new license.

So, I went to look up what I need and my fees. Turns out that WI is going to require me to transfer the title, too. Which means $70 for that, plus $75 for the registration, plus $30 for the license, plus $45 for a year worth of parking. And all the websites are pretty well impenetrable, plus my experiences at the police station (where I need to get my permits) and the DMV have thus far been very unpleasant. Regulations are not stated very clearly, and the workers are cranky, since no one understands them.

Argh.

I could get the parking permit for another three months (less expensive) and change my registration before the end of January. That's the easy route. However, that means remembering to do it, which I'm bad at already.

I would like that Garage of Holding now, please.
