Well I survived.

FINALLY OFF PROBATION!! ut was long and terrible but I done did it. Yes... it was only a year. But when you feel you didn't deserve such a punishment time can go surprisingly slow. I can finally get back to shmokin weed and the occasional alcohol. No more worries!!

Well kinda. I have an incredible fear of being put back on probation. I don't drink and drive, weed is legal, I'm not a crime type of guy. I have a little one on the way, I'm finishing up our home, and I'm a lowly welder looking to make more money and figure out a career switch haha. But I can't help but think somehow someway I'm gonna get screwed again. Last and only time I've been in trouble with the law was a farmer friend asked me to hunt these pest animals on his farm land. Welp a round hit a certain structure and boom here I am.

Mistakes happen, maybe with a side of negligence sometimes. I don't think everyone deserves such punishments. Not saying no punishment is appropriate but a year of wasting my time driving 30 mins to pay for parking for a 5 minute convo is ridiculous. (I quit smoking as soon as I got charged. I made all my appointments and requirements. Id say I was a model probationee.)

Well summary is im so happy and relived to be off probation to feel like I can live life and I'm not some type of freed prisoner. I can do what I like when I like and don't have to ask a babysitter permission. I used to travel around my state or visit neighboring states very regularly so going back to that is just something else.

Asking permission to go places even outside my county was a pain so I stopped traveling. But I did pick up some fun hobbies. I got back into a couple old ones since I wasn't able to smoke or see friends or family who live in other counties. So thanks for only that probation.

Sorry for long post I needed somewhere to really vent about this.
