Last painting (Bouquet of Flowers)  for tomorrow starts what I call a week from hell…why you wonder…Jury Duty. I say this not really sure of how the week will progress. Will do my best to add soemthing new during the course of the week.

I know, I know….for all you civic minded folks who will say it is my duty to serve on a jury…

First of all….I have to be at the court house at 8 am- 5 PM…and they make you sit there even if not picked…you sit for the entire week (might I add I have actually never been picked, I just sit)…I have no problem getting up early….it is getting dressed and actually leaving the house that early. My typical day consists of sipping my tea in my jammies going through my e-mail….feed and walking the dogs then coming back in and painting for a few hours. rehab for niki….a few things around the house, return to painting…more rehab….somewhere during the course of the day I actually shower and dress. Not sure the judge would be pleased if I showed up in my jammies….wonder if anyone would actually even notice? Wonder if I could actually sneak Niki into the courtroom

Then of course there is being put in a situation where lawyers and a Judge and those considered innocent until proven guilty know all about you….you know nothing about anyone. Add to the fact it is boring…come 3ish I am wanting to pull my hair out. There is actually no way to get out of it either….six months ago right after Niki’s accident I said  had to care for an ill family member, never mentioned the family member was my dog….not sure they would of cared too much about the situation. Fast forward six months and yep…letter arrives…time is up….must appear on the 23rd.

While Niki’s health has improved she must have her bladder emptied throughout the day. Meaning when we break for lunch I have to come home to take her out….I wonder how understanding they will be about that…if you read about a juror being arrested this week due to the fact she had to leave the court house to express her dogs bladder, you will know it is me.

Add to the fact that this is the third time I have been called for jury duty….I actually know of at least three people who have never been called ….IS THAT FAIR….I wonder how may folks have actually not been called!!!! I will have to think of a way to bribe them….do something for me or…I’ll turn your name into the court

I’ll be back in a few days
