Birthday Celebration
So, I was on call for Federal jury duty for the last 2 weeks. I had to start calling on Sunday the 23rd. I was called down on the 24th and since it was Federal, it was an hour and a half trip by public transportation to downtown Brooklyn. I was only called down one day because it was before the holiday weekend. Tuesday I didn't have to go in but I did Wednesday and it was seriously looking like I would have to come back on my birthday.
I don't know if you are aware but if you are of a certain age you can opt out of jury duty. I turned that age yesterday. So I used my old lady card to avoid going to Brooklyn on my birthday.
I had a lovely day with lots of phone calls messages and texts from my sibs, friends, and family. Hearing from my sibs is always one of the highlights of my birthday. (If I had jury duty I would have missed all my calls because Federal court confiscates your phone for the day.)
So becoming an old lady has its perks! Although I didn't love having to tell a room full of people how old I was.
Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes.
