I haven't seen this on tv

After hanging out, with my coffee in the sun, I window shopped until about 1 then headed to the store for cat food, then home. I was afraid my phone was going to go dead. I stayed dressed but took off my boots, plugged in my phone, puttered around. At 1:50, they called and said we had a courtroom. I was actually thrilled. I brushed my teeth, combed my hair and raced back downtown. I'm only about 10 minutes away. I got there before my advocat.

I felt charged up and ready to go and a bit of a pro, different than the morning. Imagine my disappointment when the DA comes in and has to tell me we got bumped again. I couldn't believe it. I was pissed and disappointed. They hung out with me. I asked if our case wasn't as severe as others and they said it had nothing to do with that, there are legalities that make them take some over the others, sooner. I asked since we got bumped twice, if it would just keep happening,and he said no. He went out to get another date for the hearing, I said I'd wait, I was pretty jazzed up. When he came back, he said the judge was very apologetic. He said they do understand and appreciate how difficult it is and the effort I made. The next date is 1/25. I asked since it was so far away, if we could meet again before hand, to prepare again, even briefly and he said of course. He's a super nice guy, I know he felt bad. They see this a lot, we don't. It's all freakin tv and if a hearing gets bumped twice in one day, they either have to gloss over it, and have the story fill the other 45 minutes or just skip that little detail.

So here I am again at home. In my sweats finally. Exhausted, let down, but ok. It's completely out of my control and I'm letting it go.

I'm glad that your guy is understanding and good with preparing again before the pushed-back date. But mostly I'm glad you're deciding to let this thing which you have no control over, drift away... It's hard to let go, so good for you for having the wisdom to do so!

Dealing with courts and lawyers can be maddening. You can't control the process so the best thing you can do is be patient and not let the delays and inefficiencies get you down. You'll have your day in court.

You're doing the right thing by letting it go but I know from experience some days are better than others. As much as we let go these dramas in life are always in the back of our mind. You never know when they'll pop up and ruin your mood.

Serenity now. Serenity now.
