I called the court to verify that my fingerprints had arrived and matched up to my file, and they had... Yay! Next, I had to wait for an email, which came five minutes later. Yay!. I responded to the email, which had the e-file of the case and the phone number to call and schedule the hearing. Yay! I called three times; the third was the charm, so I thought, and I got the administrator to the magistrate, where I was informed that I have to wait ten days (the objectionary period) even though I am not objecting to using the magistrate instead of the judge, which will take longer.
Tomorrow is the first of the ten-day objectionary time frame which ends on December 29th; the courts are closed until January 5th, 2026, and scheduling is already in March of 2026.😥😢😭I had a moment.
What can I do but wait... I'm good; I have plenty to do before then.💯I am on the way! Yay!!
On another note, the administrator was really nice; she was clear in her explanation of how things work and how busy they are. She shared that they have a cancellation list, and she added me to it. I had given her the best days for me, and I expressed to her that if she got a cancellation, I would take it and make it work. We even shared a few laughs; prayerfully, she remembers me and things move a lot faster. I emailed her the overview of our call, making sure she had my email.
