I feel it is time to explain why I have been all doom & gloom lately...
On Feb 24th I got a DUI coming home from a concert...
I have been more than ashamed of myself since that morning.
No one got hurt,
no physical damage was done - except to ME
I have been paying for it since that morning...
i.e.:
I have not been able to drive my car or anyone else's since Feb 25.
I have had to go to Jail for 2 days - Tent City here in lovely AZ when it was 101: A H O R R I B L E experience that I DO NOT recommend to ANYONE!!!!
I have an alcohol monitor on my ankle until Sept. 24th that not only is it beyond mortifying to have to wear 24/7but I also have to pay $360 a month for the fuckin' thing....
I have to put a breathalyzer in my car for 12 months- that means more $$$
I have more than 2400 of court fees I have to pay back monthly to the Courts
I have alcohol classes and DMV classes to attend for the next 4 to 6 months
Oh and today is my last day at my job, mainly because I have not been fully present since I fucked up in Feb. - {but actually lots of office politics came into play but my DUI made it easier for me to be the first to go} - I seriously HATE working in an office because the people that Manage such offices are beyond Petty and Control Freaks- but I digress
the LONG and the sort of it all is - DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE
...not even a little
It is NOT worth it!
the consequences of such actions are more devastating that you can even imagine!!!!
Both mentally, physically and financially!!!
I have seriously been in a "funk" every since this happened.... I have spent waaay too much time in my head and alone lately. As with all fuck ups, in my life anyway- I am striving to find the good... the knowledge one gains from looking at the world from the bottom up -- instead of on a perch- {where I have been lucky enough to be sitting on for some time until.....}
That in times of such darkness and despair, I can see my part, I have LEARNED a lot over the last 2 years...and I will not give in {as I have in the past} - I will NOT check out {like I really want to because I'm scared}. Being scared is okay- being helpless in NOT. I am NOT helpless or hopeless for that matter
I have NOT lost as much as I feel I have right NOW!!
may I humbly ask that you send me good thoughts & vibes my way???? my soul would greatly appreciate the re-charge cause I am gonna NEED VERY once of energy I have to get my self back on that perch...but trust me when I get back up there I will be a different bird, much more humble, much more appreciative and I feel possibly happier than ever...
wish me Luck!!!
p.s. anyone out there with shitty life circumstances {and I KNOW there are several of you out there} I wish you strength and random kindness- what ever I have left is yours!!!! I so feel YOU!!! We will get through all of this MESS {Life} together - as it is all about the journey - so the wise people say....
and even now, with all of this chaos and uncertainty, I believe them.
puss puss for now y'all!
