Interactions with the cops

Over the past three days, I have had 2 interactions with the cops. One in Wilmington and one in Leland.
One Friday morning, I had therapy at 8 a.m. My therapist was running late so I decided to try to door to the building to see if it was open. If not, I would ring the bell and wait to see if someone answered it. When I checked the door handle, it was locked but when I pushed on the door, it opened. This of course set of the alarm. Yes, I have now become a criminal.
I waited a few minutes, not knowing how quickly the cops would show up.
I finally went out to my car to get my cell phone to call my therapist, who still wasn't there and as I was getting ready to call her, she pulls into the driveway. Pulling into the driveway on the other side is the cop. At least they showed up together. I told my therapist, that the door was locked but not closed all the way. The cop was very understanding, checked the door to make sure no one tried to break in. I told them the alarm didn't go off until I walked inside.
The alarm was shut off, everyone (mainly me) calmed down and therapy began.
Eventful day number 1 has come to an end.


Fast forward to Sunday. It's afternoon and I go to CVS, just to look around.
When I leave CVS, I pull into the center turn lane. Normally, I move over once there is no traffic coming. Well, apparently today I didn't and I didn't even realize it. But the officer on the motorcycle behind me did.
When I got to the light and made my turn, he pulled me over. Now, I'm thinking, what the heck did I do? As far as I knew, I didn't do anything wrong. While I'm waiting for him, I get my license out. He gets to my car and and proceeds to say, you were travelling in the turn lane. I tell him, I didn't even realize I was doing that. He said that is where most of their accidents occur and the fine for doing that is $240.00. My thought "OH SHIT".
I told him again, that I really didn't realize that I was driving in the turn lane. I'm surprised he didn't lock me up or something. He let me off with a warning. I thanked him but I bet my name is now on a list of drivers to watch out for.
End of eventful day #2.

So - dissociation set in big time just when it didn't need to. And to think, I thought things were getting better.

One can only hope that next week, things aren't as exciting.
