So far, January’s been kind of … slow. I’ve tried doing a proper workout exactly once, and my body gave me the proverbial finger. I think I might be ready to try again (and if I don’t, it’s going to just be harder and harder to come back). Problem is a pulled muscle (self-diagnosed) that I got on one of my last landings in Eloy. Add to that some lingering right foot pain (don’t know where that came from, but I finally emailed my doctor this morning to get her thoughts), and I’ve been leaning towards sluggishness.
Fortunately, I’ve offset that by excellent eating of late, though I think I’m a little tired as my body adjusts back to a steady supply of meat & veggies without all the other crap. Hopefully I’m settling into that now.
I’m also settling into the routine of jury duty, which means I try to do my job early in the morning and late afternoon at home, and on the Blackberry during jury breaks. After three days (two partial, one full) we’re still in the jury selection process. As of now I’m on the jury, BUT (big but) the attorneys haven’t even taken their first shot at eliminating people. Based on what I know about the case so far, I suspect the DA would love to have me, and the defense attorney won’t love me. So we’ll see if I’m right and the defense attorney tells me to go bye-bye. If he doesn’t … well, the next six to eight weeks of my life just got much more complicated. It’s supposed to go till mid to late February, and the judge has assured me that I will be able to go to Nicaragua on March 1, even if I’m selected. So we’ll see how this week plays out.
