Speeding Through Life

I’m actually not speeding through life but I did get a speeding ticket today. I was coming home from getting my car maintained and an officer on a motorcycle pulled me over for going 49 in a 35. He asked me what the speed limit was and I told him I honestly thought it was 55. I actually did! He told me that the speed limit changed about 3 blocks back and I apologized. He still wrote me the ticket but said that he would include in his report that I was compliant and that he believes if I would have known that the speed limit had changed, I would have slowed down.

Today was actually a very bright day! The weather was nice and I got plenty of things taken care of that I’ve been meaning to do. I picked up some new clothes and splurged on Iron Man, I got my car maintenanced and took care of some of the chores around the house. I was supposed to work tonight but got called off because the hospital patient census is low and they didn’t want to pay me overtime this week. Tomorrow, I have to return to the dealer to get my window looked at but I’m planning on getting a few of my TELF lessons caught up and finish a book I’m reading.

Today was one of the first days in a while that I didn’t speak to the girl at work. I don’t really want to use her name so we’ll go with SC. I’ve been slightly distancing myself from her for so I can get over the feelings I had for her a little faster. We both still want to hang out but I explained what I needed and she said she would do whatever she can so that we can still be friends. We normally have a text conversation before bedtime but I think that needs to stop. She has a boyfriend and I don’t want to complicate things any further with that.

As for an update with my dog… My parents decided to have the large tumors removed. I’m worried that the doctor will be right and many more will appear but if it gives me another year or two with Aspen, than I’ll take it. She’s in a lot of pain. She has stitches along the left side of her body and above her left eye. She’s pretty lethargic and quite possibly caught Kennel Cough. I spent the entire day I was home making sure she wasn’t scratching or chewing her stitches.

Finally, I wanted to thank my dear friend Jenn for mentioning me in her blog – New Beginnings. “I'm also tagging Jeremy at Seasons of Change because I really enjoy reading his blog and following along as he helps change the world for the better!

I encourage everyone who reads my blog to comment. Let me know if there are things you want to hear about that I haven’t mentioned or even things that you want to hear MORE about!
