Thanks, Ginger. I have no idea what they're doing that knocks me off my URL from some IPs and not others, but whatever it is, it's really annoying. Some emails go out, some are throwing errors, but apparently if I wanted to use work resources to do shit, I'd be fine.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ugh. Did 5K this morning--I think because it was actually at 11, and not like, 8, is why I was able to beat my previous personal best (yay!). Then there was the food tent, which was delicious. But having mimosas rather than lots of water (though I drank a whole bottle!) gave me a wicked headache. So I spent a couple hours napping, and then had to get up and go to the ballet! We went to a little lecture beforehand, which was cool, and then Swan Lake. Great seats, too--7th row, just a bit to the side. Yay.
But now I am still a bit headachey, and tired, and my laundry is going, because I didn't do it earlier when I was supposed to, because napping. And I need to pack for my trip. And I wanted to hang out with the girl, but am so not up for going over to where she is running karaoke. Sigh. Can't I just get an extra weekend day, please?

You are a busy busy lady, meara

I was today! My laundry is still going, but I am mostly packed and will get things out of the dryer in the morning. Hoping I'm remembering everything I need. Ooh! Just thought of one...my SmarTrip card!
...now to set the alarm for 6am. Ick. Not a favorite time anyway, but especially by when I'm awake past midnight! Well, it'll help me get on easy coast time when I get there, I guess.

Juliebird, minor screwups like forgetting license renewal are really very minor in the experiences of a cop, as opposed to doing something that endangers others or self. The ones that the cop would really care about (and resent) would be not only driving on expired tags but also having lost license to DUI, no insurance, AND not stopping at a STOP sign, all together at the same time.
Note that I, who am very nearly perfect (waits for snickers to die down), have had my car impounded for an expired registration. OK, it was YEARS ago, but I've been there, done that. Having to pay the fine, and yes, go to a short court hearing (I was Very Sincerely Contrite and the judge cut the fine in half) was what I call Stupidity Tax.
Which reminds me, I'd better go check on my status on parking fines which I can do online. I only know about one, which I think I paid on time....
