She heard her main jailer, Ms. France, tell Judge Holliday that she wasn't ready, that she was breathing too hard. That she needed more time in the slammer or she was likely to be a recidivist.
"That's it," she thought, "its time to step up and breath right." She may not be getting out on the 28th, but if she had anything to say about it, she sure would be on the 29th.
As the 29th dawned, her two lawyers, from the firm of Ford & Ford (some relation) made their way to her cell to see how she had done during the night. They were willing to plead her case, but she had to give them something to work with.
She did.
Oh sure, there was a borderline incident where she flirted with falling back into her old, fast-breathing ways, but she had powered through it with only a moderately high reading. She was feeling good and ready to go. Judge Holliday had been replaced by Doc Greenberg who would hear the case. Could the team of Ford & Ford spring her from this joint?
She gazed around with an innocent look on her face as she heard Doc Greenberg tell the Fords that she was their responsibility now. Inside though, she was exultant. She had done it! She was free! Now to take over the world...
That's right everyone, today, April 29th, 2009 Julia Borio Ford has been unleashed on the unsuspecting world. Oh sure, she still has to wear the monitor for now, and check-in with her parole officer/pediatrician - but she is out from the watchful eyes of the NICU and under our care. Updates for the next few days might be sporadic as we get used to being together full-time.
Congratulations! What an exciting milestone :)
