missdianeBy the time I actually got in front of the judge, it was well into the afternoon and I was HURTING. I marked it on the questionnaire but the judge saw it pretty clearly and excused me. I probably would've been excused anyway because another one of the questions asked whether we knew the area and gave an address and it was in my town.
It was going to be a tough jury to fill since it involved sexual assault on a minor. I was called with a huge group of more than 80 people and near the end of the day, they had to call even more people. I didn't get to leave until after 4 and it had been a while since I experienced the gridlock traffic getting home. Emily didn't get a chance to roll by and give the kitties a treat so they were pretty hungry. They want more right now but I need them to pace themselves so I don't get any barfing.
On the bright side, lunch break was a little over an hour so I hobbled over to Noodle Is Calling and got their vegan pork belly ramen which was amazing. I hadn't been there in years and the last time was with my friend Lena who I lost to cancer several years ago. Miss her lots.
Going to stall the kitties a few minutes more then give them second dinner and hit the recliner to rest. I'm glad I brought a book which I managed to read nearly half of. Considering I haven't read in ages, that felt good. Going to send it to someone when I'm done if I like the whole thing.
