It's good that you have writing as an outlet and that you're able to keep Larry and Chase Bird in mind. I understand how work can be physically and mentally exhausting - and sometimes blogging needs to take a backseat to just taking a break and recharging.

And going places like that can heal. The courtroom always intrigues me. I'm a Perry Mason fan and I suspect it is much different in person! I did a lot of writing when I was working with grieving children -- my own writing -- not publication or business. It is a comfort.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-70310929470307244882014-05-10T06:59:54.681-04:002014-05-10T06:59:54.681-04:00A courtroom is different than the Emergency Room I...A courtroom is different than the Emergency Room I know but I did spend 30 years working in them, and very early on in my career I knew I needed a fool proof way to handle work, so I found an emotional place to go and all of that human misery we'd see, outside of the abuse cases I managed to leave at work, it seldom came home with me.

I had to present to the judge on my cases regularly. Sometimes I'd be there all morning long, waiting for my case. Some of the cases were boring, but others could be quite interesting. And of course, many were sad. But I enjoyed it for the most part. I liked working with the kids a lot.

Working at an animal ER for 7 years took its toll on me. As much as I loved the animals, I couldn't handle another day or hour of irresponsible pet owners...seeing the grossest kind of neglect. My heart is too sensitive for that kind of stuff. Writing is a great way to cope.

I get that way sometimes just reading the paper in the morning....or watching the six o'clock news. I am not sure how I would deal with the situation, but writing it down makes sense.
