Requisite One-Step-Forward-Two-Steps-Back Post

Well, there you have it. This morning I managed to undo any progress I was making by getting a parking ticket, on a street I park on ALL THE TIME. I think last time I got a parking ticket was in college...well, on this occassion, I guess I overstayed my welcome, which lasted 2 1/2 hours, rather than the 2 the sign allowed. The silver lining, if there is one, is that the fine was only $15 and will be reduced to $10 if I pay it within 72 hours. Not the end of the world, but not great, either. So, without further ado...Step 3: don't sabotage your successes by making dumb mistakes.
