Exploring

Today we went exploring. There is a Greek town nearby that I've been wanting to check out. We found a few parks with quiet beaches. We didn't walk through the town too much though because it started raining...maybe next time. Lots of neat little shops and restaurants there.

 

 

Oh yeah...did I mention I got jury duty?

 It's the second time I've been summoned for jury duty. The first time I was in college and luckily able to get out of it because of that fact. The second time was a few months ago, it was scheduled in June. My work schedule was pretty tight then and no one could cover it, and you're allowed to reschedule it once, so I got my new summons for July 22. I get to the courthouse and see people sitting outside. "Maybe I'm just early," I thought. Then when I go inside, there were about 4 security guards and the one closest to the door said "All trials have been cancelled for today." I said "Really? Are you joking?" which apparently was a crazy question to ask. Those guys don't joke around. He said "If you would have called the number you would know." Ok, so I don't have jury duty every single day, I didn't know I needed to call a number. (That's what I was thinking, haha). I walked outside and figured I should just make sure I have all my bases covered before I left, so I walked back inside and asked if I would need to come back another time. That's when the first security guard that spoke to me and another one both chimed in "if you would have called the number you would already know!" He did answer that if I needed to come back I would get another summons in the mail. Great. 

As for the bell's palsy, I'm getting a little bit of improvement. It definitely takes its time going away. I can keep both of my eyes closed (yay!). I can't close my affected eye and keep my good eye open though, but at least I'm sleeping with my eyes closed (I think!).  I can sort of move my right cheek a little more than I could a few days ago, but it still takes a lot of effort. Not too much difference with my mouth. People want to tell me they see changes but I find that funny because what do they know? They see my face for a few minutes here and there; I'm the one that sees it every time I'm in the bathroom. I'm the one that's making faces at myself every time I see a mirror to see if there are any changes. I'm not sure why they're not ok with instant change, but I'm ok with it. It will go away eventually, it won't be overnight, and I'm fine with that. Everyone else needs to be fine with it too.
