Impending doom...?

So I haven't posted in a while, and I think with good reason...? I forgot that I have a blog.

I'm posting really quickly to record my thoughts at the moment.

I'm kind of terrified about a looming court appointment. No, I haven't become a felon. I'm going because of a traffic violation. Let me explain.......

I was sick the night of January 10th, but I was at work. My co-worker was nice enough to let me off work an hour before we were actually supposed to close, so that I could get some rest. I got out of there quickly, and right at the third-from-the-last intersection before I got to my apartment complex, a cop jumped on my tail.

He said that I ran a red.

I argued that it was yellow, and that I was just on my way home because I was feeling quite sick. [Here's a nice tidbit of information: I was so sick that I had felt like vomiting up until the cop stopped me. I puked in my mouth... and had nowhere to spit. I won't go into detail after that.] I reluctantly accepted the ticket and got home, thoroughly upset that I had gotten a ticket, and hyper-perplexed because I had to vomit.

So yeah. I used to have an embarassingly horrendous driving record, so I don't think the magistrate will give me a break on this ticket, but I honestly hope that he will once I explain.

I really don't want to lose my license. Things would be very bad for me if I couldn't get anywhere on my own.
