Okay... First things first... I don't' know what the hell the people upstairs are doing ... But these walls are concrete and I can hear them frigging walking around or something upstairs. It sounds like I have frigging elephants living up there. Are they jumping on a trampoline? I have no clue. And I'm stuck in here on my stupid tether so I can't go up there to bang on their door and find out if they are indeed 500lbs each, or just extremely obnoxious circus entertainers.

So anyway... Today is a good day. I went to court this morning. Kevin went with me. It didn't start off so hot... I woke up at 3am after only 3 hours of sleep and couldn't get back to sleep. Talked to dali online and she got another neomail from Will (satch in the guild) saying that I cried to her and I was being immature basically. That's a whole other story. So I was upset about that and stressed about court.

I got to court at 9am and they never called my name... So around 11am I finally just went into the courtroom and talked to the baliff when the judge took a recess. He finally got to my case at around noon ( I was scheduled for my court review at 9am and my probation violation at 11am ) My probation officer told him the details. I did everything I was supposed to do EXCEPT the outpatient alcohol counseling (MADD class ... AA meetings ... Work force ... ) he asked me how I pled and I said guilty (why prolong the inevitable) and he asked if I had anything to add. I told him that I also did 90 days on alcohol tether and I was currently doing alcohol tether again and I tried to set up counseling thru SEMCA like her ordered. At first I couldn't get transportation there and also co-ordinate times out while on my tether. And then once I hit 90 days clean and sober I no longer qualified for any assistance from SEMCA as to the cost of the program. The cost was far too prohibitive for me with all the other fees incurred, so I didn't do it. He looked at everything. And then he said that he was going to close the case with improvement as I did 99% of everything I was supposed to. He asked to see my tether which I showed him ... And he ordered me to continue the remainder of the time on the tether and I'll be done. SO... 33 more days and I can finally be thru with everything! YAY!
