I got up, and was sitting on the computer, going through email or something, when Mum came in. She asked when I wanted to go out to Erina (because I have to get a haircut, to get rid of my green hair). I said in an hour or so.

I continued bumming around on the computer for a while, and then I went and had a shower and got ready. I went inside the house, and said I was ready to go. I had been intending to ride out to Erina, to take the last chance I might have to ride, even though I'm suspended, but not a court ordered suspension.

I waited around, Mum got her stuff, and then we got in the car, and she drove out to Erina. I went and sat in the hairdresser, and waited to get my hair cut.

Eventually they got around to me, and the guy did the best job he could, to take all the green out, without me ending up almost shaved. There were still a few bits of green left, but they weren't obvious, unless you were up close.

I paid, left, and wandered around to the food court to get some lunch. I sat and ate, and then went to the supermarket, and bought some toiletries, to take with me, since my deodorant is an aerosol one, and I wasn't sure if you can take them on planes (you can, but I wasn't sure), and the shampoo's run out, and my toothbrush is all worn out.

I left there, and started wandering, and then I called Mum, and said I was finished. She told me where she was, but I had no idea where it was, so I just waited where I was. Mum came around a little while later, and we went back to the car, and came home.

I sat and played the guitar all afternoon, feeling anxious and depressed about the next couple of days.

I sat and watched some tv, did some blogging, ate a pizza, had a few drinks, continued watching tv, then ate a bit more, and drank a bit more, trying to make best use of the time, before I'm stuck in airports, on planes, 1300km away from home, and in court.

While I was sitting there, my mate's mother in law called me, and told me that her husband would be able to pick me up from the airport tomorrow, but it wouldn't be until about 2.45pm, and then I'd have to drag around the shops with him.

I said I was happy to do that, since I already had to spend hours in the airport, an extra bit of time is nothing, if I'm going to get a lift, and have something to do in the afternoon.

I got off the phone, and went back to watching TV. The senior DBA called me, from a pub, he wanted to wish me luck in court in the morning, I told him that I wasn't in court tomorrow, I'm still at home, I'm flying up there tomorrow, and I'm in court on Friday.

I chatted a bit more, not very much, because it was very hard to hear, with him in the pub, and then got off the phone.

I checked again that all my paperwork was ready, and found a tie to go with my suit, worked out how to tie it (since the only time I wear ties is at funerals these days), and then packed my bag.

When I was packing my bag, I realised that my 32mb usb memory thing wasn't in there. Hmm, I'm sure it was. Maybe I lost it somewhere? though the bag was open when I took it out of the email support guy's car, maybe it's in his back seat or something. Oh well.

I went to bed a bit after that, and couldn't sleep, worried about the next couple of days.
