I woke up at 5:00 AM because the house was too hot. The electrical heating unit in our heating system went out a few weeks ago and our HVAC company put in a temporary one that is either on or off. Its been over a week and they still haven't come to put in the permanent part. Normally we can turn it off at the thermostat, but sometimes it stays on and that's what happened last night. I had to get dressed at 5:00 AM to go down to the garage and turn off the air handler using the switch on the front panel. After I turned it off, I went back to bed.

My alarm went off a 7:39. I had to go to driving school today in order to get a diversion on a speeding ticket I got back in November. First speeding ticket of my whole life. I didn't have to be at traffic school until 9:15, but I set my alarm early in order to try to enjoy some of the morning. I was really tired though and laid in bed until 8:11. I got up, and wet my hair down to comb it. It looked good enough to skip a shower considering I was only going to traffic school. I got dressed and had an apple fritter from Kroger (my weekend treat) and a cup of coffee. By the time I had finished those and used the internet to research a question from work, it was time to go.

But the time I got out the door it was 9:02. I debated about stopping for coffee refill in my 20 oz insulated coffee mug. I was running a little late and I wasn't sure if they would allow me to have coffee during traffic school. But traffic school would be a whole lot more tolerable if I could sip on coffee all morning. I decided to stop. The coffee refill was $0.97 and I plunked down my $1.02. The convenience store clerk was an older man and i had completely stumped him with my impromptu math problem. He finally figured it out and explained that I had thrown him for a loop because most people would just give him a dollar. I explained that I had to get rid of those pennies some how. If you do it right, you'll always have between zero and four pennies in your pocket at any given time.

By now I was running a little late and needed to drive fast to make it to traffic school on time. It was still early enough in the day that traffic wasn't too heavy. I hit all the lights just right and drove straight to it since I had google mapped the location last night. I might have arrived by 9:16 or 9:17. It was a second floor room with a 42" TV screen on the wall, a desk at the front and 4 rows of folding chairs in front of the TV and desk. The driving instructor asked me to take a seat and didn't seem concerned about my coffee mug. The room was mostly full. But luckily I found an aisle spot, affording me a little extra leg room and maybe the ability to slide in and out of the room easily in case nature called. Ten minutes later, class began.
