Christine's New Chapter

Journal entry, 9-9-10 - Ventura County Hall of Justice, Jury Room 8:19am

I really should have gotten the doc to give me a doctor's note, so I could get out of Jury Duty. I mean, seriously. Will I be able to concentrate on lawyers and he-said, she-saids when I’m contemplating my future brain surgery?

Seriously.

So, hopefully I'll just hang out here and write and email all day, and they won't call me for a jury. If they do, I have everything I need (except for that doctor's note, darn it) to get released. If not, then I'll do what I can to GET that doctor's note faxed over to the courthouse. I will NOT miss my balance test tomorrow. I can't. The sooner I have all my tests, the sooner I'll be able to get my surgery scheduled.

What's worse is, I don't have text or phone service here in the jury room. Hubby is texting me but I can't do a thing about it. I've got one of the coveted spots at the tables at the back, laptop plugged in. The jury room is PACKED. So even when my laptop is fully charged, I can't really leave and give my spot to someone else.

Not until lunch, when I'll nab someone else's spot in the seats. IF I'm still here.

9:52am, Cafeteria

Got called for the very first panel, just my luck. Then as we waited outside the courtroom, the bailiff finally came out and dismissed us until 1:30pm. YAY! But that means now that I'm sitting in the cafeteria - NOT eating, because they don't have lunch up yet and breakfast is over - BUT!!! I have hopes that when we go back to the court room at 1:30, the case will NOT go to trial and we'll all get to go back to the jury room. And then hopefully I won't be tapped for another jury.

All this strife for lack of a piece of paper.

Not only that, but this will be the third day in a row that I've missed Grey's Anatomy. Sigh. Life is hard...

Christine's New Chapter Never look down... DEMON SOUL was released in MARCH, 2011 by Crescent Moon Press. DEMON HUNT will most likely be released 2012. This, then, is my new reality! The tumor has been removed and I'm recovering, so now it's all about the writing...and dealing with the writing.
