Instead of having New Year’s resolutions, I usually pick a word for the year. I don’t have one for this year yet. Right now, my life isn’t my own. I’m living in limbo because as of tomorrow, I’m owned by my county for jury duty until June 24th. I’ve been stressing out about this since October when I got the notice in the mail. I have asked to be excused because I own my own business, and it would be extremely difficult to go that long without working..I don’t even want to think about it. How will I pay my bills?? How is anyone expected to pay their bills and serve that long? I think it’s asking waaaay too much.

I haven’t heard another word from the court. It’s probably because of the holidays, and I’ll hear from them soon enough. All I know is, it’s been next to impossible to make any business or personal plans because I have this black cloud hanging over my head, and it truly stinks to live this way. I want my life back!! I read online that other states hold people for jury duty for only 2 weeks, and I saw a lot of people complaining about it. HA! I could handle 2 weeks. 6 months is a completely different story. It’s blowing my mind to think I could be away from my studio and online business that long. 

Despite this going on, I have made a work-related resolution, and I’ll tell you more about that tomorrow.
