I received the most dreaded piece of mail yesterday. I have been summoned. Yes, I have been summoned to Jury Duty. I have never gone before. I hope I don't have to go this time either. I wrote in that I am the primary wage earner in our household and that there is no possible way we could live on their $3 a day or whatever they pay. I hope I don't have to go. It would suck.

Another bummer. I am sick. It started up yesterday early in the morning when I was at work and I thought it was maybe from inhaling the fibers from a mask I was forced to wear all night long (one of my patients was in isolation and we have to wear masks and gloves when we are in there. I was in there a lot). I think I am officially sick, though. My throat is scratchy and my voice is funny and I am coughing and it is really not making me happy. I am happy to be home and off of work for the next two nights. I hate being sick. I just want to gt in bed and sleep and feel better.

On a good note, Shane was able to get vacation during his spring break and we are going to be able to head down to visit our dear little Macy and her parents, and our families. Yay! My parents will be in Europe, actually, so we won't be seeing much of them. I didn't think we were going to be able to take the time off, so I was very happy to hear that it is really going to work out.

Shane is really busy with school and all these projects he has to do. He is such a good sport and has a good attitude for the most part. I know we are both looking forward to the end of this quarter (and even more so to the end of the next one).

Hmm… Mask fibers, you say? Maybe it was all the sucking on my tongue.

I don’t know if it’s the same everywhere in California, but in LA county, at least, financial hardship is no longer an acceptable excuse for jury duty.

Then maybe they shouldn’t have put that as an option on the little paper they sent me.

Did you see the part where I said IN LA COUNTY?
