KristinT- And what are you still doing up at 5AM? Insomnia?
Ya totally. Very unmotivated this weekend. One could say "blah". Not a damn thing done. And absolutely no desire to go shopping for the holidays. No desire to be in jampacked stores. No desire to be on yucky wet roads (raining yesterday). Today, I'm finding ANY excuse to not do anything. examples:
"wait wait" on the radio
"marketplace" on the radio
Eagles football on TV
dunno what I'll do in about 20 minutes when the game is done. However, I did dig out the visa, so I think I'll click my way to holdiay shopping, and pay thru the nose in shipping.
Ho Hum.
Erin, I'm glad you weren't badly hurt. It will all be all right eventually. And, now you have the prettiest mugshot ever taken.
Last August I got pulled over for turning right on red when I shouldn't have, and I couldn't find my insurance card, and it turned out my registration had been expired for a YEAR and my driver's license had expired three days previous. I almost collapsed. They towed my car, and thank goodness I had no outstanding tickets. I still can't believe I was that careless. But it happens - one minute everything's normal, the next minute, OMGWTF did I do?
I will not murder anyone in my house.

Suppose you drag them into the yard first, Suzi?
Yes, sj, yes.
I feel like a need a wheel of fortune to pick the victim as it changes from moment to moment.
I hate feeling snarly.
Y'all give such good advice. Although if someone asked me to do comm serv, I might just have to scream "I am a teacher in an underserved inner-city high school! Just take some fucking money, k? Cause if I have to go somewhere else to do comm serv, it's like sending a hooker to to be a sex therapist."
Lawyer up, huh? I don't know any lawyers. Damn the humanities degree -- I know teachers and IT people. Anyone got any leads on a KC lawyer, who can at least rec a traffic/car lawyer?
I am going to take a hot shower and go to bed early so I can get up and grade papers -- I did not touch them, and I have a stack in the back seat of my car, which is untouchable till tomorrow, dammit. I did get a study guide for Hill House final done, and the essay options and rubric for "Always Running" done, which as frazzizzled as I feel (what would the letter Z do without Snoop? Huh?? He should do a cameo on Sesame Street, fo reals) is a fucking miracle.
Ah, well. My students won't complain if I make them just turn in their conclusion as a final, yo. We can work more on the revising next semester, right? I made them revise once already.
Arrrrgggghhhhh.
Your students will love you for not making them revise again.
Erin, check with Gud, maybe, for lawyer recs? I was pulled over for expired tags once, and the officer told me if I got them renewed before court, they wouldn't take them (Oklahoma, at the time they'd take your plates if you're caught driving after the registration expires) and I could keep driving.
When I told the clerk of courts that before the trial, she called the judge and the ticket was dropped and the officer was reprimanded. I have not, thankfully, ever been caught without insurance, though I have driven without it, so I'm feeling sick on your behalf, Erin. Money is such a difficult thing.
"Send lawyers, guns and money."
I wish I knew what song that's from.
