Returns

Today was the first day my boss was back in the office after serving overseas in the Army reserves. It was a bit stressful, but overall a decent enough day. I am feeling pretty worn out today despite having a very relaxed weekend. Don was gone during the day both days for a CE course, so I spent the days being domestic at my own pace and hanging out. I made supper, pie, brownies, cleaned the house, did laundry. It was very nice. Tonight I have a headache and just feel like I want it to be Friday again so I can have another weekend. Instead I have another work day tomorrow. Harumph.

Update

So far so good with jury duty... I have not had to serve except for the orientation day and so far there have not been any jury cases. The call in info today said no cases this week or next and my next call in is not until the 26th. I am still feeling pretty stressy and a little bit like a cold is coming on, but I have been going to bed early and working on staying hydrated and eating well. There is really not a lot new going on...just more of the usual.

Welling with Civic Pride

...or not. I went to my juror orientation thing this morning. It ended up being only about 1 1/2 hours because there were no jury cases today and I was not selected for grand jury. I was glad because I am feeling pretty worn out and really was needed a day off this week. Our courthouse is under construction/remodel so they are down two courtrooms and are running fewer cases at present. So I will have to call an 800 # every Mon, Tues and Wed after 5pm for the next month to know if I will have to serve the next day. There is a fairly large jury pool this time around, so I may not even end up having to go in. I will just have to go with the flow and see what happens...this is difficult for me, the not being able to plan...but I am working on it. I went to the grocery after jury duty and then came home and had an early-ish lunch and had a little nap. I did laundry last night since I was not sure how long the jury thing would last today.
I have work tomorrow and Friday and also this weekend. Don and his friend G may be going up to see another one of his buddies this weekend and A and I may try to get together for lunch or something. Other than that there is really not a whole lot going on. Tonight I am making an oven roasted chicken with green beans and roasted potatoes and biscuits for supper. I hope it all turns out good. The weather has really turned to fall, it has gotten quite cold over night and in the early mornings. It is forecast to be a wonderful sunny fall weekend and it sounds like it may be a good time to do some geocaching. We will see what the weekend brings.

Keeping On

Life goes on for us. Work has been a little more stressful than normal for me recently. We are in the final stretch before my boss gets back. I think that will make things both more and less stressful. I have not been sleeping well lately and I know that is a contributing factor to the stress issue. I am hoping we can do something this weekend, like go to the coast. Just something to be together with my husband and have a mini vacation I guess. I don't really have much else to share right now.
