jury duty

Image
I have been a licensed driver since 16, a registered voter since 18, a homeowner since 2008 and today was my first jury duty summons ever.  Entire jury duty experience. Take whole day off of work, mostly bc I had a great excuse to decline all of my meetings and get some things done that I choose to do. Show up at 1:00 p.m. as directed & sign in. Start a new book. Wait 40 minutes. Get dismissed because all the cases were resolved in some way without a jury trial.  Then I went to HEB and shopped like a rich, very high person. Frozen pizza, ice cream, almost ten dollars on one of my favorite very seasonal fruits, a tiny very heavy watermelon. Love Island themed Poppi for Kitty, and a Shirley Temple one for T. Four boxes of mochi ice cream bc there was a good coupon. Too many ice breaker mints (also coupon). Rice pudding and flan cups. One tomato, needed for dinner tonight.  But look! 

What I want to say...

 ... to people in my Pilates class.  1. Good on you for bringing your own mat. There is a better way to roll it up at the end of class so that you don't struggle with the ends curling up next time.  2. There is in fact a right way and a wrong way to fold a yoga blanket that actually makes it better and easier to use, not just because I said so.
