Winning in Court
I’m still quite out of it, so this will be short, but I definitely need to mention that my contestation was accepted yesterday and the fine annulled. Now the Gendarmerie has 30 days from the moment the decision will be communicated to them to appeal, but let’s hope they won’t bother with that. After all the stress this caused, the less than one hour of sleep I got yesterday morning, how I shivered and sweated and the way my stomach acted, I definitely don’t want to go through something like that again, regardless of the fact that the result was positive.
I won’t go into details, in part because there is a protest to go to tomorrow and I’m still out of it, so need to use today to try to recover at least somewhat better, and in part because, though everything was public, I’m not completely sure about posting a few things. Suffice to say that I was lucky in more ways than one and it definitely went better than expected, but it still messed me up completely and I doubt I’ll ever fully recover after it. At the same time, I do want to work towards being able to accept the risk of needing to go through something like this again for a cause.
Otherwise, while cleaning my room today I noticed a significant amount of mold in an area that wasn’t sprayed a month and a half ago, so something will need to be done about that, possibly next week, and we’ll need to be far more thorough this time. Until then, however, I definitely should at least partially catch up on the “protest reports” and the plan is to try writing another by the end of the week. I have no idea how far I’ll get and I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to say about what happened since the end of the period covered in the previous one, but I’ll see what I can do now that the main reason why I’ve been viciously at odds with this movement and most known activists and protesters over the past few weeks is behind us.
