Well it looks like all my court documents came in. Everything appears relatively square; I'll make my important calls today and get myself prepared for appearing to the court. I can't imagine what the punishment will be, but I'll bear it with equanimity and quiet resolve.
Be it jailtime, community service, or some manner of fine, I'll complete my obligations and move forward with my life. I'm starting back at work next week also, which does leave me missing a day for court, but that's small fish compared to the time I have already missed. I'm just happy to have something to return to, even if it is cleaning toilets and mopping floors.
I did mention how much I loved janitorial right? Nothing more satisfying than cleaning an area and managing your own daily work. Nobody bothers a janitor who is doing his/her work well and with a smile. Everyone loves a clean place to spend their day.
I made a new connection with someone from my past, a lovely woman I used to fancy a bit. It was actually a lovely interaction and I hope she reaches out again. I had seen her picture in an advertisement for singles in my area and couldn't help but send her a message. We used to work together over a decade ago before I was with my ex. She seemed excited to hear from me and it turns out her marriage dissolved about a year ago with her separation.
I'm not jumping into anything don't worry, but having a friend with similar experiences to talk to is never going to go out of style. If I'm being honest she still looks fantastic! Like hasn't aged a day; Maybe a few more laugh lines, but really pretty. I am probably going to just keep it to messages, I can't afford to get myself caught up something serious. I know myself and I can't fall into those same patterns of toxicity. Getting over my ex needs to be a detox of at least a year. I don't think any manner of romantic relationship is going to serve me at this point. Gotta keep things friendly.
The day is shaping up to be quite beautiful here. The moon was out all night in the clear sky and the sun is bright and golden, rising above the trees now. I can hear the birds outside in the still morning air. Such a perfect day to begin again, and stay positive in my own power. After I make my phone calls and do my diligence for my legal matters, I'll treat myself with a walk around the property.
Take care of yourself today, you deserve it!
