I’ve already been told I am a “good candidate”.

I mean, honestly, I'd pick you, so... yeah. I am actually curious about what it's like serving on a grand jury. In any case, if you get picked, I hope it is minimally disruptive.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This may be a very important time to serve, brenda. Meep.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My eyes just popped out of my head in cartoon character fashion. Caliente!

Hubba Hubba!

She's like 6'2" so imagine a saucy queer glam theater kid Gwendolyn Christie grabbing me by the hips and shoving me into shapes.

But she's been on vacay for her 40th bday so I won't get to see her until next week.

However, I did make it to my 9am Monday morning Pilates. There's not one part of it I'm looking forward to as I'm hiking off in the fog to exercise, but my teacher, Angella, gave us all a really sweaty, focused workout and my body needed it.

I spent most of the weekend housecleaning in advance of a guest coming and just spent 20 minutes cleaning the inside of my microwave and the front of my oven. Yes, it needed that much Formula 409 and elbow grease to offset the grimy grease.

“I believe in the importance of the jury system”

Good one! I believe you are a good citizen. Also I need to call in about a jury summons.

I haven't been called in many years. When I moved from Palm Beach County to Broward I thought it might kick in again, but nope.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm ambivalent about having to take a health exemption, but I just can't imagine me and an attendant getting sequestered or whatever.(NO prosecutor would pick me ever, either, though.) Starting a new writer's group tonight.
