Should I laugh or should I cry?

I think I'll laugh.  I could cry or get mad, but I think I'll laugh.
Last week I (Nancy) happened to look at my Hungarian driver's license and noticed that part of it had expired on May 18!  On the front it said it was good until 2023.05.16.  But on the back it said it expired 15.05.18.  I need to explain a couple of things.  In Hungary, dates are not written as we commonly do in the US, month/day/year, but are written year/month/day.  Also, Hungarian driver's licenses are good for 10 or more years, depending on the age of the recipient, but the medical and visual portion must be renewed more often.  All this is still confusing to me, so I took my license to prayer meeting that night to ask if I had a problem and was told that I need to renew it right away because it was partially expired.
So, we found the doctor who handles foreign patients and was told that only the Hungarian háziorvos (designated general practitioner) can issue the form needed to renew the medical portion of driver's licenses. 
I went to the háziorvos and explained what I needed.  I didn't even get past the assistant because she told me it was impossible to generate the needed form without a Hungarian national health insurance number.  I tried to explain that we had other insurance and that I had been able to get an exam two times before, but she said with the new computer system, I would have to go to the national health insurance office and ask for a number.
So, I went to the national health insurance office and waited my turn to talk to an agent.  When I explained what I needed and how already had insurance and used a private doctor for my medical needs, she called an expert on her phone.  Then she turned to me and apologized, saying that the doctor's assistant did not know the proper way to handle my case, gave me her name and number and the name and number of the expert she had called. Again she apologized for my trouble and said the assistant should call the expert if she had any further questions.
All this took several days because of different office hours, but during the entire time, I kept asking for the Lord's help.  I could feel his presence with me and knew he truly was helping me the whole way.
The next day I went back to the háziorvos and handed her the paper with the names and phone numbers on it.  She called the expert and found out that she could use my passport number in place of the health insurance number!  The doctor took my blood pressure and gave me the eye tests.  I paid the fee, which was much reduced because I'm now 60, and received the doctor's certification for my driver's license renewal.  Whew!
This morning I went to the driver's license office and got an appointment to finish my paperwork.  I went to the appropriate window and asked to have my license renewed.  The lady asked for my paperwork.  There was some confusion about my address card, so after some discussion, she said she would look up the rules about that.  While she was waiting, she looked at my driver's license and asked, "Why are you renewing your license?"  I told her it was expired and she said, "No it isn't.  Look, you have the newer driver's license.  The dates on the back are in EU form, not Hungarian form.  Your license doesn't expire until 2018."  I couldn't believe it, but it is true.  Later I examined it more closely.  The dates on the front of the card are Hungarian style, but the dates on the back are in EU (and American) style.
So I just had to laugh.  Yes, God was with me the whole time and even though I did all that running around for nothing, I am very relieved it is over.  God is good.
