I think I’m sick. I didn’t really feel sick yesterday or I wouldn’t have gone to the concert viewing, but I’m so tired. And I’ve been very cold today, with a throat that feels like it’s getting rawer as the day goes on. It’s been hard to focus on work. Hard to be “on” for work.
I did a mile walk this morning, and the half mile at lunch, but I skipped the evening walk. I’m going to bed after I post this.
I can technically reinstate my license, but because of the way Idaho’s administrative license suspension works, I will need to have an interlock device installed unless the judge orders otherwise. Seems ridiculous to require that when I do not have a DUI, and was not drinking at the point where I was pulled over. Plus, because I’m past the ten day grace period, I’d need to get someone else to drive my car in for the installation lest I be breaking the law by driving without it, which would be against my probation.
My lawyer is working on a motion to get the order to waive the requirement. Here’s hoping the wheels of justice turn as quickly as possible and that the judge is willing to do this. I’ve been pretty upset today, because I remember bringing this up with my lawyer and being told that I was wrong, that the interlock requirement would go away. I guess, to be fair, they really don’t often deal with people getting their DUI’s dropped.
The body aches weren’t as bad today, but it feels like a head cold is taking over my brain.
This morning, I caught the moon rising just before the sun. It was incredibly beautiful. This tiny sliver of a crescent rising through the orange glow of the sunrise, seeming to be centered in the light.
I hope I feel better after a long night’s sleep and not worse. It seems like every day at work requires my presence. I was talking with a colleague today and spoke what I hadn’t really articulated recently. I haven’t had a fully trained team for over two and a half years. I’ve been dealing with fires instead of cultivating a garden. I want to be able to cultivate a garden. Plan and have folks to help me execute those plans instead of feeling like I’m the only one who can do … everything.
I did get my Head and Neck level 2 exercises done today. They aren’t super strenuous, and the breathing with the movements is relaxing. But I might not be able to do it tomorrow if I’m feeling worse than I did today. Or maybe I will. It’s all about taking the next step. Getting started. Putting myself in the track and letting myself roll through the task.
