Lemons to lemonade

So I am currently down in San Jose doing traffic school. Yes, I am in the process of dealing with some bad karma - or 3 parking tickets. For 2 I am doing community service and the third, I have opted for second level traffic school. I have not slept very much, so I am exhausted and after a drink by the Moorpark Hotel pool, followed by a sake at the sushi place across the street, I am wiped. Yeah, that and sitting for 6 hours at traffic school. There is so much I have to say, but with a belly full of sushi and a candy bar to boot, I'm done.

I hoped to hit the hot tub before bed, but I don't think so. Now, if only the ladies at the pool bar would shut the hell up. I may have to close the window and turn on the air.

But not to be a complete negative nelly...

Here are some gratitudes:
1. kind fellow diners at the sushi place who shared a yummy roll with me
2. dining with a fellow traffic schooler for lunch
3. the fact that I am not homeless - San Jose (like the rest of the Bay Area) is a haven for the homeless
4. easy drives with no traffic - in this case down to San Jose from Oakland
5. Happy Hour at the hotel!
