I had to rush home yesterday so I could go to jury duty today. I would have preferred to have stayed with my brother and look at some houses in his area but I had to be in court at 9am this morning. There were about 60 people who showed up. They went through the selection and dismissed about 8 or 10 of the people who got chosen. I was the last one called and both attorneys accepted the people on the jury including me. I am not pleased about it. I have to pay for Danny’s dog care each day and for the gas to run back and forth to the courthouse. I have a lot of bills coming up this month for car insurance, house insurance, and car registration. I’ll have to dip into my IRA and I hate doing that.
Have you checked interest on savings accounts lately? One of my accounts is 1%, another is 1.5%, and another is a whopping .14%.
I am tired out. Partly from the weekend and partly from today. I awoke at 5am and couldn’t fall back to sleep. I was too keyed up about getting Danny to the kennel and myself to the courthouse. I thought I just had to make it there and hope I wasn’t chosen. Now, I have the anxiety of having to serve. I don’t have to go tomorrow because the judge has another trial in another county. I have to go Wednesday through Friday and maybe Monday.
My sister-in-law packed me a nice take home food package. When I got home this afternoon, I had some Easter ham, asparagus, scalloped apples, sweet potatoes, pasta Alfredo w/broccoli, pineapple stuffing, and cheese cake. I can have a few meals with that.
Danny is napping. He has a full belly and is probably tired from barking at the horses, donkeys, goats, cats, and the people who came to the ranch for riding lessons. I’ll take him for his walk when he wakes up.
