So I had strep throat a month ago, bronchitus and mono a couple of weeks ago and NOW I feel like barfing and my head is pounding!!!!!!! All I wanted to do today was get ready for Easter, clean my house, walk the dogs, get the laundry done, do some shopping and do a couple 10 minute work-outs; all I've managed to get done is lay on my fat ass in pain! Honest to God- I just want to feel good and I never feel good.
Well, 14 more days and my supervisor is officially done! I am counting down the days until I am the boss! Whew-hoo!!! I have worked a long time for this and am so excited.
So, I know this person who had some drinks and drove her car 19 miles back to her house. I know for a fact she was raised to never drive while intoxicated or ride with someone who has been drinking. I only hope that she will come to her senses at some point and realize what a huge risk she is taking by doing such a thing. I really feel sorry for her family, because if she continues to drink and drive, it will only be a matter of time before they get some horrific phone call in the middle of the night...ewww I shudder to think about it. Or how about the car coming toward her and she hits them head on and ends up in prison for the rest of her life? There is no forgiveness to the drunk driver. Ok, so maybe it won't be something that awful that happens- maybe it will just be as simple as a tail light out, so the cop pulls her over only to discover shes been drinking, and off to jail she goes for 90 days. Good bye job and everything else that requires running around because not having a license for the next 5 years will pretty much keep you home bound. Not to mention the few thousand dollars it will cost in fines and reinstatement fees. Pretty expensive risk to take when the solution is so simple- SPEND THE DAMN NIGHT OR CALL FOR A RIDE FROM A SOBER PERSON!!!!!!!! I know it appears that I am on some soap box, but man... that's just immature, irresponsible and plain down right stupid. If you all know people who do this, please talk to them about how serious the consequences can be. ANY amount of alcohol impairs your ability and NO ONE is exempt from that fact. Just caring about this person and worried for her.
