The end of the week

The last and most burdensome day of this busy week is tomorrow. I will take Cindy to work and then drive to Jackson to see how much the judge wants to protect the other side. At this point, my client just wants to be divorced, but the judge seems to want to expand the field.

Afterward, I get to drive down to Monroe County to see if I can preserve my client on the outside of the Monroe County jail. It may be difficult to do since it doesn't take much to revoke probation. It is odd how much effort is made to put some people back in jail when the people who fund the jail would just as soon keep as many people out as they can.

There is quite a tension these days between the county commissioners who have to fund the county jail and the keepers of the jail who would like as many occupants as they can get. I learned about that in a conversation with one of the judges. You would think that the judges would work to come up with some alternatives to simply putting people away.

After the end of the day, Cindy and I get to go with our group to the Reahards for supper. I am really looking forward to that. It seems as if it has been a very long time since we all got together. The powers that be don't necessarily want these groups to continue on forever, but we enjoy each other so much I don't really think we would want to quit.

Friday will be closing day. Hopefully, some money will come in by the end of the week. I am getting really tired of this economy. It seems that everything is a struggle.
