#bye april

[klaudia2646]

I went on a very long walk this afternoon. Different route and it was so nice to see all the beautiful tulips and blooming trees. I did get in the middle of school pickup and that was wild but I was able to get out quickly.

Rain tonight and possibly tomorrow too. I hope it doesn’t rain on Saturday though.

Full Moon 🌕 Zero Filter 👌 Low Res but I Love it 😍 the Silhouette of the Tree & dat Natural Moonlight ☁️ ❤️ 30th April 2018 Behind the photo: got 13 days to smash out my stats assignment, was the final break of the night & my ❣️& I went outside for a smoke & to see the moon. It was so cloudy but of course you could still see the moonlight coming through the clouds. I think that's why I like this pic so much, I don't have a zoom lense so I can never take decent pics of the moon (one day!) - the main focus isn't so much in the moon as it is the tree & just the naturally occuring colours & shadows & contours. Win win! I love the moon, I really need to integrate it more in my life....

What a warm blissful morning run. Easy and sunny 23 km for my soul. That's how I define happiness. 210 km for April including my fastest marathon EVER. It could be worse.

Terasa cepat waktu berjalan, hingga sudah menginjak di akhir April ini. Kalau ditanya, bagaimana kesan di April ini, ya banyak cerita, banyak tantangan, banyak pengalaman.

Semuanya harus dijalani, semuanya harus dilewati. Apakah berat? Pasti. Setiap jalan yang dipilih ada tantangannya tersendiri, dan itu tidak terelakkan.

Masih belum terlalu signifikan, tapi masih berproses, masih belajar, masih mencoba.

Sekarang hanya bisa belajar untuk mencoba dan mengikhlaskan hal hal yang datang dalam hidup ini.

Semoga bisa lebih baik, dan kuharap kalian juga sama ya.

Selamat menyambut bulan Mei.

okay, so today was all over the place, in so many ways, honestly just freaking exhausting. had 3 court cases up in two different courtrooms, but 1 at 9 and the others at 10, so there was at least time to make it work. the first one was kinda awkward because I really don't know how opposing counsel ended up on this case because she's used to representing petitioners and clients like mine, she even apparently volunteered with my org at some point, but now she has this awful client and I feel bad when she makes what seem like reasonable requests and I have to just flat out say no because my client is so done with the whole situation, so I really don't know how that one is gonna play out. well, it most likely will end like most of my cases lately, when a domestic relations case is filed and it gets taken away from me, because it's pretty much inevitable at this point, and I really hate that there's nothing I can do about that. hmph. anyway. I finished with a little time to process things before hopping over to the other courtroom. It was funny, because the advocate that was on my first case that I was just with was also apparently on the third case (which wasn't actually mine, I was just covering), so I got in the breakout room and was like "didn't I just see you?" 😂and it was funny because she also had her other client in there, and I had my other client in there, so there were a lot of people packed into the breakout room. and of course it took forever as cases set for 10 always do, and then the one I was covering went hella awkward and it became painfully obvious I knew pretty much nothing about the case, so we just reset it for two weeks. and like, you're definitely never supposed to be like "I don't know, it's not my case" and to be fair I definitely didn't say that, it was just based on seeing that my colleague was at all the previous court dates and nobody knew what the hell was going on, lol. but we survived. my last case, finally, it looked like a shoo-in, but then the judge threw up some crap and actually had me convinced for a minute he was going to toss the case before going ahead and granting it, and like from a procedural perspective he really was obligated to do so the whole time, so playing it out like this was kinda shitty, but in the grand scheme of things it's likely he wanted to make as complete a record as possible, in case the other party comes in and tries to get the order thrown out. so he probably had good intentions, I just felt bad because I told the client it shouldn't be anything big and she ended up getting stressed out but it was okay because we got it in the end. so by the time I get done with court it's like 1 pm (because east coast) and I'm also running clinic and managing two cases from there, as well as preparing to leave for Philadelphia, so that was a lot. We did get in the car and I got the personal hotspot working pretty well. We got the hearing call and I got pulled into the courtroom with the client, waiting for other cases to go, which legit took over an hour, but then at one point I noticed my client had logged off, and she messaged me that someone who had been let into the (virtual) courtroom was a friend of the dude she's filing against and was probably trying to spy on her....it became this whole big thing and I had to tell the judge, we finally got everyone out and started the hearing with just us left, then during the hearing the guy tries to log on and of course the client just left the call because she was terrified, and the judge kicked him out of course but she was thoroughly shook by the whole thing. I managed to get the client back on and thankfully we just had to finish a few things up at that point, so it was fairly brief, but yeah, that was a new one. phew. I still had the other case to get through, and we got it filed but there was a paperwork issue (I swear our e-signing software is screwing me over because it did the exact same thing yesterday and it's possible I made a mistake once but I definitely did not make it twice) so only one of the client's two cases

ended up getting heard today and we'll have to handle the other on Monday. but we got called up for that one to the judge who was all pissy with me yesterday so I was like oh great, but we got in pretty quickly, the hearing was odd because the allegations were odd, and then there was a whole thing about sending the order to a safe email address and the judge just deciding to send it to me and have us deal with it, at which point I was just like okay sure. And then of course there was the fucking emergency motion I've been trying to get heard all week, I had re-e-filed it at 9 am and had someone at the courthouse to go tell the clerks to accept it, then print it out again and give it to them, and the courtroom that it was going to (the first one I was in this morning) was being covered by the chief judge, who mostly handles administrative duties but will occasionally step in if we're short a judge and can't get one of the usual floaters to fill in. he comes off as very callous on the bench, at first at least, but I think he likes me haha so we've had a somewhat amiable relationship. I think I've said this before, but he can never remember what my last name is, so he just called me Rachel, and when there's opposing counsel there they're like "....your on a first name basis with the chief judge?" 😂😂😂 and that was just kinda great. but yeah, he can be rough but he's very factual and no nonsense, so when the motion got brought up, he just signed it without me going in to argue it basically, which was pretty anticlimactic but at this point I didn't even care, as long as it was done that was good with me. but yeah, I spent the rest of the time finishing things up, finally getting off around 6:30 (east coast time) so not too bad. we didn't have that much farther to go at that point, so I just chilled mostly and we arrived pretty soon. we got to the hotel and checked in, I'm in a room with my mom, while my brothers are both in separate rooms with their respective girlfriends. We were gonna try to figure out some food plans, but that kind of fell apart, so I was on ubereats trying to find something when I realized I could order Wawa, so I was like oh fuck yeah I'm doing that, so I got an awesome sandwich and some mac and cheese with a strawberry lemonade, all highly enjoyable. and yeah, we just chilled out for the rest of the night, my mom watching hgtv and me on my laptop, until she wanted to go to sleep so I took a shower and got ready for bed, and now I'm here and it's late, the wedding isn't until 4 tomorrow so thankfully I can sleep in and I am very much looking forward to doing so, so I'm gonna go ahead and get started on that now. Goodnight my friends. Happy weekend.
