Let's list out some more gratitude

- I had a jury duty summons for the 23rd but I called the # the night before, and they said not to come in!

- Donated blood on Tuesday. The people there were great, and it was right here in Oak Park. (At times in the past, I found that when it's a blood drive taking place somewhere other than like a designated blood donation facility, the staff can be harried. But here they were great. I did learn that they've traveled to this church in OP many times before for their drives).

- Finally getting the master bedroom painted. One accent wall in 'peach brandy' and the rest in 'crisp straw'. We needed the seafoam green color gone, to better coordinate with the fireplace we got for X-mas

- One of my Spartacus fics just hit a milestone - 150 kudos. That makes it my 3rd Spartacus fic, and 5th in any fandom - to hit the 150 mark

- At work we got yesterday (Friday) off because we always have a People Day around March 1. (The date our incentive checks hit). I'd forgotten that Doris usually gets home early the last Friday of the month. She was home way early because of the short Friday and a cancellation, so we got almost the entire afternoon together!

You know I've never actually done jury duty? I've been summoned a couple times, but that was back when my uncle was the public defender, so I got out of it for having a connection that might bias my opinion. Haven't gotten one since.

Yay for painting! It's probably my favorite of the home improvement projects. Everything just looks so nice with a fresh coat of paint on it. We've had the roof redone this week. It's important, needed doing, but makes SUCH a mess, and it's noisy while it's happening.

Yay for passing 150 kudos!! I've *just* picked back up a fic I was working on back in 2019. It's just shy of 100 kudos now, but I'm hoping I'll cross that milestone if I can actually finish it this time. (I've got three more chapters ready. Just needs editing!)

I am always fascinated to hear people's jury duty stories, so I enjoyed hearing yours. Did you make it to the point where they interviewed you, and you then told them about your uncle? (I only once served on a jury. Usually either I get the notices but then I call the night before and they say don't come in, or one day I did have to go in but they dismissed me at 4:00 without interviewing me)

Agreed on painting! The room looks so much better.

Fingers crossed, and let me know if it does hit the 100. I try to celebrate when a fic hits the 00 or the 50.

Pretty much, yeah. That part where they say, "Is there any reason you would be unable to serve?" or however it goes, and I said, "[Name] is my uncle," and they let me go home.

Fingers crossed!!
