Having unexpectedly taken last Friday off from both work and blogging to be in-person at the courthouse for closing arguments and the beginnings of jury deliberations in my partner’s (still) ongoing civil trial, this past weekend was all about trying to decompress and re-energize now that the case is officially and literally “out of our […]
As Troy’s trial reaches the mid-week mark of it’s second week (and will hopefully be wrapping up and reaching a conclusion before this weekend,) to say I’m physically and emotionally drained is an understatement.
