Yes, Zircon, you really have come a long way!!
You sound like you have yourself back....
That is the most precious commodity of all!!
I think that the initial "Shock" of dealing with the legal system has worn off a little bit....lol....
For sure, it won't be, exactly, a Maypole Dance, but, from the things that you have faced in the past, I know you will endure.......
I am wishing you Luck, Luck, Luck, on Wednesday. You are paying a lawyer to do the "fighting" for you. Your job will be just to keep breathing....
