Today was a pretty good day, for the most part.
I went to court today to deal with my careless driving charge... and the result was more than I hoped for! I had to meet with the prosecutor and basically discuss what was going to happen. So he shows me this stack of papers, all the "evidence" and then tells me that when they looked at it all, it seemed like a pretty weak case, so they contacted the police officer that had given me the ticket. She'd then written a memo to the effect of because there wasn't any damage, and the road conditions were bad, to please drop the charges against {me} and sorry for the inconvenience. So the prosecutor says to me "Well, looks like all the charges have been dropped, and it was worth your while coming in today".
SWEET.
I got up and packed this morning. I put everything into a duffel bag and a laundry basket, a backpack and a few boxes/bins and crammed it all in my car. I should take a picture of it tomorrow before I leave. My bike is in the back seat and there is random things crammed in all around it.
Planning on leaving here around 8:45 am... that way I can pick up Cartmell and get on the road by like, 9:30 and be in Ottawa around 2:30/3ish.
OH! I found out the most fantastic news! I don't have to work a Sunday all summer! The store I'll be working at doesn't open on Sundays... which is just fantastic. AND I don't have to work past 8 any day of the week. It cuts down on my hours, but at the same time, it's summer and I don't want to have to work my summer away. I just hope I don't go broke!
I'm sad to leave some stuff behind here though. Just when I meet someone I'm interested in I'm leaving. But we'll play that one by ear. The "I'm going to call" and then actually doing it success rate is about 10% right now, so I'm not holding my breath. It's too bad though, it's something that could be good...
I'm going to miss the A Team as well.. Ange and I have fun going out... But the A Team can always exist in Ottawa too... she just has to come visit... Hmmm..
I should get to bed... Have to get up early and I have lots of driving tomorrow.
