Prelims

At home weight: 216/Last WI 217

TUESDAY

Ok, so I had to be in Prelims today so I had to get up early. Prelims are Preliminary Hearings. They're held once a week at the jail with a magistrate judge. They usually last most of the morning, and basically we have to convice the judge that various people in jail are there for good reason. It's usually moderately interesting, good to get out of the office, and helpful to get to know our police officers. Today I learned a major lesson. I have one officer that any case he makes, I have GOT to plea. I mean he's an absolute moron. He testified today in two hearings and I'm surprised we didn't get them dismissed right there (something that very rarely occurs). He tells what happens by saying "this white male talked to another white male and referenced a black female and he said that he and her were going with them to the store.". Hello? Names would be helpful here to know who he and him an her and them are. It was like pulling teeth getting enough facts out for both myself, the defense attorney and the judge to have any idea what happened. Frustrating! Fortunately, most of his cases are going to be assigned to Gail, another attorney in the DA's office, due to the nature of the charges. But please tell me how he became and investigator? Sheesh!

On another note, I had a WONDERFUL night last night WW-food-wise. Not so much WW exercise wise as I was really going to go to the gym, and then I was just going to run at home, and then I just did nothing. :-( But - Monday's are are usual night to go out to Y-knots for beer and poker. I'm usually DD on Monday (Erik is DD on Thursday after my WI). But I still usually have a couple beers or some munchies or something. See the problem is that for the "free" poker game, you get 800 starting chips. But if you spend $10 or more at the bar, you get an additional 500 in chips. So - we usually try to spend some money b/c it makes a difference in your play. But last night Erik agreed to drink Gin (big sacrifice for him...lol) and order an appitizer to get us over the hump - or close to it. Knowing the bartenders and tiping well helps. SO - just diet coke for me! :-)

Today I want to desparately find the motivation to go to the gym or run outside. It's getting nice out and I LOVE summer so I'm excited.

Hoping for another OP day - wish me luck!
