I’m all about hearing good news lately. I guess it’s because I’ve started the gradual decrease in hope for… Well… People. I guess it stems from an unsavory email I received this past weekend that then spawned nightmares and more headache than I generally contend with sans complaint. I didn’t blog about it because, frankly, I’m sure that person reads what’s posted on here at times to see what I’m up to and was sure to have a five minutes of fame. I’m not that kind of person.

I got a phone call about 5 minutes ago in reference to my car wreck from last mid-March. For anyone who cares to know, the facts were I was driving in a place with my former roommate in which I knew but hadn’t been to in a while. The stoplight was moved down the road and was replaced by a stop sign too far from the intersection to see (it was out in the boondocks, most people would have known of this two-way stop simply by living nearby). I didn’t see it, ran it, and totaled out my car on a Dodge 4500 pulling an empty cattle trailer. Among the obvious, “you could have died,” scenarios (if I didn’t pull slightly to the left, if it wasn’t raining, if he had cattle, if I was going the speed limit, if I was driving anything smaller, if I was a second sooner, etc.), I walked away with a broken thumb, the worst off, whilst the only other injured person at the scene, my former roommate, suffered a bruise on her leg.

I was charged with failing to yield or something. The state trooper felt sorry for me, I think.

My court date had been extended for 9 months now, stalling due to my former roommate’s therapy. My lawyer, meanwhile, insisted that the roommate shouldn’t stall me and I should go on and get things over with. He also told me it would be impossible to get out of my charge since 1) it was technically my fault, 2) the trooper already gave me mercy, and 3) I totaled out two cars and a trailer going 40mph.

I agreed and the court date was finally settled for this morning.  The call I just received was from my dad. He said that though everything isn’t going the best in my life as it could be, I have one less thing to worry about: the case was thrown out of court completely. No driving points on my record. Zip. Zero. Nada.

Which is awesome seeing as I can barely afford my car insurance as is and would have to forfeit my car come August (when my 6 months are up on my policy) otherwise.

Pretty cool.

Now if I can get all my other little duckies in a row.
