I was able to do better at exercise this morning, then went to coumadin clinic. My INR (blood clotting rate) is right where it should be which means the easy bruising is done with for now.
Then I went to the health food store for some shampoo and stuff. When I left there, I was feeling so good about having so much energy, feeling so much more mobile. I was driving down a three lane one-way street, turned left onto another three lane one-way. I'd seen a motorcycle cop pull out on the other street, from the station and turn onto the same street as I, though he did NOT follow the law which says pull into the lane closest to you, first, then change lanes. He should have been in the same lane as I was.
I have never had a ticket in all 42 years I have been driving. I checked all of my mirrors, looked over my right shoulder and could swear he was in the far right lane, so I signalled and moved over to the middle lane. Next thing I know, he'd pulled me over for "unsafe lane change" claiming he was in the middle lane and didn't see me signal. He was very nice and I was polite, but I was really astonished as I am always very careful, esp. after living back East where no one gives much advance warning of lane changes!
Anyway, it's a $100 fine which I can pay and only have one point on my driver's license, or I can fight it and, if I lose, it would cost me three points. My insurance company said, if anything, it might raise our rate by $7/month for three years, but we have safe driver awards so it may not change at all. Rog says pay it and be done. My son-in-law says fight it and my Aries sense of justice says to have my day in court, but I don't like the idea of losing points on my DL.
So, to salvage the day, 'cause that was a real bummer, I had lunch at home with Rog, then took Morgan to the pool for the first time this summer. He had so much fun. I told him only for an hour. It was 83 degrees when I picked him up at 1230p. When we left the pool at 2p it was 92 and rising. The outside car temp, whilst parked, was 113. Too hot for me, so I've been inside with the swamp cooler on high. It's supposed to get to 100 tomorrow and high 90s the rest of the week, then higher on the weekend. Arrgghhh!
BTW, SRS, that pool is having a special one evening only "pool party for the dogs." Owners have to show proof of vaccinations, etc., then the dogs can swim and play all they want!
