Three tickets in 9 hours

I was going to rant about the election, but instead I’ll just miserate that I got 3 parking tickets in 9 hours. I went to a friend’s to help dig her out of two years of fiscal denial, impressing myself with my organizational skills (how is it that we can do that for others but it’s so hard to do it for oneself?). In some kind of karmic point-proving, I managed to get her affairs in order while ignoring the parking restrictions on the street where I parked. Got home at 4 in the morning and slept through my alarm and found tickets on my car and my boss’ truck. $120 bucks out the door. I’ve been in a funk pretty much all day because of it, too.
