So I spent 3 hours at the Parking Authority today. Hearing scheduled for 11:45, finally got seen by a hearing officer at 2:30. Yeah, that's how they roll. That outfit is a racket, man! Their sole purpose is to make our lives miserable and get our money. I considered myself successful today, despite the annoying experience. Paid one ticket (it was legit), got one dismissed (deservedly so, but she acted like she was doing me a favor) and am appealing the other 2 (bs tix, fo sho!). Instead of letting myself get upset (like the dude that got escorted out by the sheriff...he kept yelling "you have my discovery"), I made 2 friends and kept a positive attitude. Got some stuff done after, fed Jack (he ate!), went to the gym, then to see some friends, grilled for Jack and he ate again (!), and am now unwinding on my sofa. A good day, all in all. Tomorrow I get to have lunch with Mom & Aunt Dee...should be a nice time. I really do have it good...maybe Grandmom was looking down on me today keeping me in check (today's her birthday).
Last night I finished reading Maya Angelou's "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" - wow...what an amazing story. I was stunned when I realized that I had read the last paragraph. You know it's a great book when you want it to keep going, and are bummed when it doesn't. I'm trying to decide what to read next. I started a new 'habit' - I have a book in bed and read before going to sleep. I had gotten out of the habit when I started driving again (2 things that are very good for reading: public transportation and weekends in the clink!). So I'm really glad I've been reading again...I enjoy it so much!
