I hope my attorney handles this motion, and the Judge denies it, frankly.
Attorney just texted she wants X amount of money to handle motion in the morning, then, should she fail, will ask for a continuance so she can go over all my evidence.
I'm not happy with wasting another day in court, listening to all the nightmares, finding myself shaking... sweating right before I have to get on the stand, bc of screaming, threatening, crazy people.
I'd rather just go, and get it over with, like pulling of a band aid.
Or going to the dentist.
BTW I didn't have any issues at dentist today, but dentist couldn't tell me that without announcing there were THREE issues, then saying he couldn't speak of them till exam was over. I wanted to scream at him..... WATCHING ISSUES OR DRILLING ISSUES!?!?! Instead I stopped him, politely, and asked in a normal voice.
WTH? You don't just announce to someone who struggles with teeth cleanings that there are THREE issues without saying they're things we're "watching." WATCHING Not drilling, or working up a treatment plan.
I feel the same about the legal stuff. I have just as much anxiety over it, feelings of helplessness are huge, and I'm not going to handle this hanging over my head for another week or two or three. It's not fair. I was in court on the proper day, and my attorney will do her best to put the whiney boy's request where it belongs.
::sigh::
OK, Hops. I'm going to work on doing all I can, then just letting go.
And I've prepared hours and hours and hours of evidence prep for tomorrow.
HOURS.
OK...
I have to whine a bit more before i can let it go...
apparently.
I'll have to re remember all the dates AGAIN if this gets pushed back. My memory isn't stellar when I'm not under pressure like this.
My attorney knew this was coming for a while. That she doesn't want to prepare to go forward is now my problem, and bGod knows what she'll want to charge for yet another appearance, this time going through with the hearing. She'll have earned her X dollars if she gets this thrown out, I'll say that, and hope for the best.

I'm trying to remain curious during this process in court today.
So far the attorneys are talking about money and settling what's owed to contractor. If can settle that, and leave protective order in place, this day may be productive and DRAT!
Hope seeps in. That's how it happens, right there.
So, what we're here for today is that messy 4 on the summons. Guess who has the only copy where the 4 looks "bad,"....like a nine for sure?
Yup, contractor took a pen and marked his copy....my attorney not sure what this Judge would do with it. My attorney doesn't want to point out all other copies look different.
I feel like I'm being toyed with by a child who never has to suffer consequences fir his actions.

Deal struck. Now, if I can get a handwritten order signed by all parties NOW maybe won't have to do this again when Contractor spins and changes mind while attorneys bicker over language in an Order he won't end up signing.
lighter:
We settled everything in less than 2 hours, wrote out a handwritten contract, and had everyone sign it before lunch, which the Judge held up for us.
I'm happy with the outcome. I paid contractor what I was offering to pay him the day I fired him.... exactly what he said he was owed that day. He was asking for double today, and that's strange, bc this wasn't supposed to be about a fee dispute.
My attorney said that it appeared a fee dispute was all opposing counsel prepared for... OC hadn't done any homeworkl on the Motion before the court today.
My attorney thinks that, and the fact this attorney has never tried a case EVER, helped get the deal done, which she was pushing for so it was behind me.
I'm so grateful.

Hopalong:
So Protective/Restraining Order is in place, you'll pay your bill, and he's out of your hair for good.
HOOO -AHHH!
Now it's time to relax and worry about things like yard work.
Much better for the psyche.
Hugs
Hops
