The hot milk worked! And jury duty completed!
I used the tips - no caffeine, low on sugar, no alcohol, ate some turkey for supper and drank warm milk before bedtime. I got to sleep just after 10 and got up at 5:30 feeling human. Thanks so much for the suggestions.

After an hour wait, I got called in a pool of 30 for a breach of contract trial. We went upstairs to the courtroom and waited outside a while. Turns out they were settling the case. But we still needed to wait downstairs again to see if we were needed for another trial. After 1/2 an hour, our group was dismissed.

Getting up at dawn was kind of nice! It's a beautiful day. It feels good to do the civic thin, too. The judge who spoke to the big jury pool told us that we were now part of the judiciary even if for one day. I liked that.

3. You've got that right
I may just hang out reading all day. I did get some hosta plants today at Lowe's that I want to get in the ground tomorrow. Depends on how motivated I feel.

2. Today is beautiful, isn't it?
Kitty woke me up about 5:30, and my body said, "Let's not waste this."

So I got my house-cleaning done early, and my gardening sorted out before the sun drove me under cover, and it's been lovely.

Thanks for doing the civic duty, again.... I've never been called, though I'd love to be.

4. Never called?!
Wow! People in Boulder are just too good, I guess! We had a bunch of traffic stuff, the breach of contract and a bodily injury suit today in Jeffco. Lotsa naughtiness down here!

And yes, it was gorgeous. Looking out the windows of The Taj was cruelty. I hear it's going to get chilly again Wednesday. We'll see. One lady who was there today said she moved here from California. She commented that she was never in a place where all four season can be experienced on the same day. :D

7. Weather Chan forecast for Wednesday
Hi of 64 Denver Metro and rain. A folding umbrella, a windbreaker and maybe some layers. But I wouldn't worry too much about a winter coat unless you'll be in the mountains. They get snow at least through June. Keep a watch on the Weather Channel if you have cable.

I don't know where you're going. But here's a neat site that shows road conditions for travel http://www.dot.state.co.us/TravelInfo/CurrentCond/
