The fairies should have tipped me off
When it rains, it pours. Got a nifty little notice in the mail today. Or rather, Bryan did. Apparently my brain was in traffic fine fantasyland when I thought I wrote out the check to pay for his speeding ticket. Apparently I never wrote it. Apparently I use the word "apparently" too much. The thought crossed my mind that maybe it got lost in the mail, or even worse that it's been sitting in an envelope waiting to be mailed. Nope. After thoroughly checking all three check ledgers, I've come to realize that I never wrote the damn thing out, much less put it an envelope or mailed it.

His license has been suspended for 2 years. Or it was suspended for two years as of May 8th. He still hasn't changed his address with the DOT, so the notice originally went to his mom's house. Suspended for a week and a half already and we only found out today. The fact that it wasn't actually postmarked until the 14th (despite the suspension effective date being the 8th) doesn't make me feel as much better as one might think, either. The doctor wants me to stay home tomorrow as well to give the anitbiotics a chance to start working before I go back to work (I have bronchitis), so I guess I'll see what I can do about getting it taken care of tomorrow. Oh, and not like we need this like a hole in the head, but it's going to be an extra 50 bucks to have it reinstated - if they'll even do it. The letter says "If you pay the fine, you may be eligible to reinstate on the date of payment. If you have other revocations or suspensions, your actual reinstatement date may be later"). As far as I know, he's never had another revocation or suspension, so it should be okay (keeping my fingers crossed).
