of permits and of leave(s)

Originally filed for a two-day leave to have a four-day weekend Baguio trip. Again, unforeseen circumstances prevented that. Have to stay behind and face responsibilities. Again, I ask, I AM getting old, aren't I? (and no, an answer to the obvious question is not needed)

Used up one-fourth of that leave to get some much needed, long overdue errand time. I am now the holder of a Student's Permit. Driving lessons are next. Note: diving lessons are also next, but there's no permit needed to learn how to dive. On my palm now lies a "USED" stamp. Yes. Used up. And I needed LTO to tell me that?
