I ended up spending the better portion of this week in Jury Duty. This is the third time I've been summoned. How some people go their whole lives and never get the privilege, and I've already gotten the dreaded piece of mail 3 times is beyond me. Up until this point, I had somehow managed to avoid actually being selected for a jury, but just didn't find a way to get out of it this time. So for the first time, I got to see the whole process through from beginning to end.
This has nothing to do with pregnancy! But it's about the only notable thing that occurred this week. There was a middle aged woman who sat next to me in our deliberations who told me on the second day, "Well, you look bigger today than you did yesterday." No joke! Not sure in what universe that is acceptable to tell someone, much less a complete stranger.
But the story doesn't end there. Would you believe that on the third day, she said, "You look bigger today!" I KID YOU NOT!!! I think that God forgot to give some people the filter that goes somewhere near your tongue that prevents you from saying these things outloud.
Thankfully, at this stage in pregnancy, I am still gracious and kind when people make these kinds of comments, and simply smiled and replied, "Oh, really? I think it all depends on the day and what I'm wearing."
I've also been made fully aware this week that I simply do not live a sedentary lifestyle. After just one day of sitting in the jury box, my rear end is sore!! In case I was ever in doubt, I am no longer questioning the fact that I do very little sitting in one place during the day!
