The Good Life.

I got a ticket on my last delivery the other week. 40 in a 25. i'm gonna talk to the judge though. i was delivering, it wasn't a residential street, etc. court is on the 6th.

spring went to visit logey in phx yesterday. she surprised him and is staying until tomorrow to see him off.

New years eve. got off work about 8 ish. went home and dressed up, grabbed a 1.5 liter (two in one) bottle of wine and went to the winter formal gathering/show at cottage. had a good time, drank most of the bottle. about 1140pm i walked downtown with my bottle of wine to watch the pinecone drop (NY apple drop rip-off). heritage square, lots of people. some cops. i was meeting someone there and sporting my huge bottle of wine while on the phone. a cop turns around and sees me. i don't see him. he comes up to my ear and says, "don't piss me off." not a great way to encourage someone to cooperate. asks me for my i.d. i am surrounded by people. i try to take off through the crowd like an idiot and my knees then face get slammed down onto the ground and i get cuffed and thrown into the paddywagon. all like one minute before new years. 15 minutes later another kid, 18, comes in to keep me company, also in cuffs. some one started a fight with him and he'd been drinking too. he makes angry phone calls. some of my friends phone me. i tell them what happened. they're like, "no way!" way. 15minutes later the cops let me out, still in heritage square and write me a ticket. 4 citations. underage possession, public consumption, illegal consumption, disorderly conduct. thankfully no felonies here kids. court on the 9th. hopefully i'll get to do some community service for some of these bills.

i am sick. i've a bad cough in the chestal region. and i'm congested. the first few days of this week i've worked, monday, tuesday, wednesday, 10 hour days. that slowed my recovery i'm sure. i drove a hundred miles on tuesday delivering around town. only 80 yesterday.

my vehicle plate registration expires at the end of this month.

All in all i'm doing fine. i hope to go ice skating later in the week.
