Good morning, Abbers far and wide!
Just sitting here knowing I have to get in the shower pretty soon. Another day at the flower shop. Was there yesterday from 10:00 until 5:45. Lots of heavy lifting--those boxes of flowers and water buckets weigh a lot! And up and down stairs, as we are working in the basement where it's cold, but beautiful in vivid colors! We laughed yesterday when we thought that we might get trapped with no way out due to all the buckets of flowers!! Anyway, not sure how long I'll be there today. Wil probably be in tomorrow after church, too.
Attorney called late yesterday afternoon, and I was able to go into another part of the building and speak with him. So, I know what is coming on Monday. No jail time and I don't have to do a seven day in-patient program, most likely thanks to the letter my rehab counselor wrote. This is what police chief was pushing for. I will have an eighteen month loss of license, reduced to a year if I do the alcohol classes. $934 in fines. Not sure what attorney's fees will be, but am guessing a few thousand, And after a year, they'll put the Interlock system in my car. I only know one person who has that and I've never seen it. Now, the best part is that I didn't get all crazy as I would have in the past. I didn't injure or kill anybody, and I don't have to go to jail. It's a fair punishment for aggravated DUI. I've already been almost three months wihtout driving, but think they just count from the day you officially lost your license, which is 30 days after the arrest. That seems so stupid to me--allowing somebody 30 days to drive when that person could easily get another DUI in that time. And the difference between MA and NH is amazing. (MA is much more lenient.) Plus, NH is one of the states that has no --not sure what it's called, but the license that allows you to drive to and from work and during daylight hours. But there is a reason why I have to go for a year without driving. I have to accept that God is in charge here--sorry if that offends anyone's beliefs, but it is what I have accepted. So I move on. Even hubby was just happy that I can accept this. I don't have to go anywhere he can't drive me, even if I get the job at the hospital.
AFM, such wonderful news for you!!! My sister had breast cancer five years ago at age 46, had a double mastectomy, did chemo and worked every day through it. You are so strong and now you can focus on moving on. Your attitude is remarkable!
DG is on her way--sounds like such a great trip.
Greenie, okay--pigeon pose?? Not sure which one that is, but I am sure that if I got into it, I wouldn't be able to get out of it!!!
Glad to see some people I hadn't known before, and hope you stay here.
Have a great AF day, all!

I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.
I just won't let anyone touch mine.....
