A few extra days.

No, I'm not gone yet! My lawyer apparently had to be in Texas today and told me just a few days ago that my sentencing date would be postponed by a few days to Friday. The funny thing was, I had to call him to figure this out. What if I hadn't called him? When was he planning on telling me? I know he probably thinks of court dates like dentist appointments, but this is my life here. This is the day I leave my current world, my friends and family, for a whole different unfamiliar kind of place. I know such a thing has become routine for someone like my lawyer, but I wish he could be a little more thoughtful and compassionate towards me.

At least everything worked out and the court and prosecutor agreed with the short adjournment which means I get a few extra days to take care of what I need to take care of and spend a little more time with friends and family. To think that I would already have been sitting behind bars at this very moment today is a bit of a scary thought.

I have a pretty packed schedule the rest of this week. I'm feeling rather special and loved lately. My mom is being nice more often these days, yelling a little less and asking me what I'd like to eat. My friends are all treating me to eat at some of my favorite restaurants. Everyone knows how much I love food I guess, but as much as I do love food, I appreciate and enjoy the thought, the love, the quality time spent with them even more. I'm so cheesy, I know. I mean it though. I feel as if every single day has been my birthday lately and I have the best friends that anyone could ask for. I don't know what I'd do without them, seriously. When you see how others care for you, it absolutely provides you with all the more reason to care for yourself. I will stay as strong as I can, I promise you all.
