Well, I have to claim my maiden name today as the Williams women were bonded through despair today. My day started around 8:10 when I left the apartment, much closer to my target leaving time than I have achieved in the past few days (despite only 5 hours of sleep, 3 hours below my minimum requirement). I was excited thinking to myself, I'm actually going to make it to work at 8:30 today (I have simply joys in life). However, about ten minutes into my journey, as I'm getting in that driving mode when you're on a familiar path I see blue flashing lights. Yep, it was me. I wasn't really sure how fast I had been going. If I go more than 10 mph over the speed limit, I usually note it mentally so I can keep things under control. Unfortunately, and to my surprise, the officer informed me I was going 45 in a school zone... 25. YIKES! I told him I hadn't realized I was in a school zone, though I recognize I had recently passed a school. After a rather pleasant exchange, I was handed my ticket. I didn't try to fight it, just tried to be polite and complacent.
Little did I know that speeding in a school zone is a BIG no-no. As in $375 no-no.
YUCK! That huge bill can definitely put a damper on your day. But, I'm going to go to court and see what happens. At least that's what I've been advised to do. It can't hurt, right?
Well, I definitely will NEVER be caught speeding in a school zone again. You'd better bet I'll be looking for the markings that indicate the beginning and end of those zones!
So, after being frustrated with myself. I moved on. But my mom had unfortunate news of breaking her foot, or at least a bad sprain, today. Another big, fat, ugly, YUCK. And tomorrow is her birthday.
Sad days!
But, if these are our only complaints, I suppose life is pretty good.
And now for your Moki photo:
