Perpetual Ruminations

Still Waiting

May is coming to a close, and I haven't done any entries for a while now, so I wanted to get one in before the month is gone.

After a long winter, spring finally arrived and things were looking great. We have the entire house now instead of it being a duplex, so a lot more room. I also finally got the other half of the garage, the previous tenant still had stuff in there so we couldn't use it, but I talked to her and ended up taking a lot of her stuff over to a church for donation, the rest went into the landlord's storage building.

Yep, spring started out terrific, but about halfway through we get blindsided with trouble we never expected. I've already written on this and I really don't want to even think about it anymore. Unfortunately, it's not over yet, we will have a pretrial hearing towards the end of June. Our attorneys told us everything will be settled at that hearing and not to worry about having to go to court in July. I sincerely hope they're right, once it's all over I will breathe a lot easier.

Now, we are getting our camper set up and ready for our June camping trip with some close family friends. The campground we are meeting up is 220 miles away, and we have our pre-trial hearing that day! We had planned to get everything ready the day before and leave really early, but now it's looking like we won't get going until about 2:00 p.m.

I seriously thought about just canceling the camping trip, but with everything going on, it will be nice to get away from here for a while, and we haven't seen our friends in almost a year. If we get the news we want, it will be a nice way to begin the process of putting this all behind us, but if not, I doubt we will be able to relax much camping or not.

I figure to give our attorneys another week and then call them to see how things are progressing. Until then, it's more of just not knowing, and that's the hardest part.
