I have been called for jury duty again. (Well, I received the initial questionnaire, anyway.) When I saw the return address on the envelope, my stomach plunged. I *hate* the idea of serving on a jury. HATE it. Seriously hope that I can get out of it again. Is there a limit on that sort of Karmic blessing?
My putative Thanksgiving host, hostess, and hostling are all sick with various maladies. Should I prehaps make alternate arrangements? One wonders.
I went out into the Big Bad World today. Needed allergy medicine and a prescription refill, and was almost out of milk. I ended up going to Target (~$50), Hallmark (~$10), the liquor store (~$25), and the grocery store (~$30). In those various places I purchased a gallon of milk, a half-gallon of orange juice, 18 bottles of beer, and 3 boxes of tea. Am I thirsty, er what?!
My neighbors (the ones with the Screaming Brat from Hell) have had 2 parties in the past week, and right now are playing some kind of crappy music loudly enough that I can almost make out the words from my current position, sitting at my desk in my office (separated from the noise by at least 2 walls), with my Louder Than Fuck furnace running. Now, you might think that these idiots are somehow related to The Cat's hillbilly neighbors, but they're not. She's professional staff at the local university, and he teaches music (!!!) and coaches soccer at a high school in the 'burbs. They're not stupid. They're just unthinking and annoying. Blargh.
[update: music stopped; screaming started]
My semi-annual "stuff I want" post is coming up soon. Stay tuned.
Time to have some food.
