JURY DUTY!

Man was that a long day of nothing!  And then I had to drive 1.5 hours to class as soon as that was over.  The angel and the devil sat on my shoulder and argued over whether I should run when I got back (at 9 pm).  I'm not sure which one won, but I didn't run :)

I had to report for jury duty again this morning.  Spent the morning in a courtroom--didn't get called for questioning.  But I did not have to stay for the afternoon.  Have to go in again tomorrow...

It rained this morning, so it was a little cooler today, but still in the 80s.  I ran slow.  It wasn't bad.

I had to show up to jury duty again, but after 1.5 hours they sent us home, as the case we were called in for was settled.  I'm done now with jury duty. 

And this is in response to Joe's comment from yesterday:  call me crazy, but I'd rather do jury duty over the summer. I hate missing work--subs never do lessons the way I want them done, and inevitably I have some "cleaning up" to do when I get back.  Plus I can't get grading done at home, so I get behind in my grading if I miss.  I was originally summoned last October, but I was able to reschedule because it was the week of sectionals.  So I chose the summer.  I am glad, though, that I wasn't chosen for a jury.

I kept checking the weather in the evening, and it kept saying "Feels like 105."  "Feels like 107."  So I waited till dark to run.

Treadmill run while the kids played in the hotel pool.  I was eager to be done so I could get in and play too!

Another treadmill run while the kids were in the pool.  Worked out with my niece, Courtney.

I've been away, so now I'm catching up on entries.  We were in Wisconsin this weekend visiting family.  We had a lot of fun.

Sat. I ran outside after 2 days of treadmills.  My garmin died on me partway out, but I'm sure I ran at least 3 miles.  It was warm.  I ran in the a.m., but it was still over 80.  The previous two days were almost 100.

In the afternoon we had our family reunion at a park in Fon Du Lac.  The kids and I had fun doing kid stuff.  We went out in a paddle boat on the channels that lead to Lake Winnebago.  Since they were no help I had to recruit their Uncle Shannon to go with us.

I'm behind on everyone's blogs and I'll catch up just in time to go on vacation again on Friday.  We usually travel during the summer, but this summer our traveling has been more than normal.  Next week's vacation is the last before Chuck starts work again and I start doing my practicum.  Summer's almost over :(
