A Little of This A Little of That

So right now I am taking a moment to share what kinda crazy few days I have been through...and eat a big ass chocolate doughnut, because right now is not one of the good moments I will discuss later. Right now my friggin basement is flooded AGAIN. I just did 3 hours of massage and had some really amazing results, was feeling jazzed, and then the monsoon hit. When the heavy rain started, I began preparing for this probable event by moving rugs and furniture away from the flood zone. Sadly it still wasn't enough to keep the water away from my rugs completely. So I drug the rugs to dry land and then I shopvac'd 25 gallons of water out of the basement and began washing towels and rugs. To say my 54 year old body is exhausted is an understatement. Did I mention that I did 6.5 hours of massage yesterday? Understatement. Not loving Mother Nature right now.....

....but I still found time to admire her handywork.

She's like me, short and chubby but cute.

And you knew I had a few of the Moon....

I love the glow, the rings and aura.

Also my stint on jury duty was fabulous. Last week I scheduled less massage appointments, on the off chance that I would be required to report for jury duty. Luckily I only had to report one day last week and only had to reschedule one client. This week is my final week on jury duty.  It also happens to be the week before I leave for vacation. I am booked solid with a waiting list and really need to work this week since there will be no pay when I am at the beach next week. So I really needed to not be called for jury duty this week. I was constantly looking at my schedule and fretting about the possibilities. Then I asked the universe to help me. I asked to be free of this burden. I asked to not serve on jury duty if at all possible. If I did have to serve to please help me keep my clients on their scheduled appointments because I had no place to move them due to my vacation.

So Friday, when I reported for my first day of jury duty, the judge informed us that we had been part of an odd juror cycle, in that the judges all had a three-day convention of some sort that had kept them from having trials that week. She also said that it was looking like we would not be needed at all next week either, but that we should check in daily to confirm that. So Sunday night I called the juror notification line and found out that jurors were not needed this week and that my service was complete. Thank you for your service!
