I plucked two mulberries from an overhanging tree on my way back from the supermarket at lunchtime; they weren't particularly sweet or flavorful, but they were ripe.
On my co-worker's suggestion, I called this morning and asked for a postponement of my jury duty on the basis of my father's death, which was granted as soon as I got through to someone at the appropriate office; she asked when I'd like to serve, I said "Fall", and she offered the first Monday in October, which I have accepted. I will be very pleasantly surprised if I still have this job by then. One of my other co-workers had apparently expected that I'd be asked for proof before they gave me the postponement; I'm glad to still live in a context where few enough people lie about such things that we don't have to provide paperwork for small things in times of stress (though I was reminded of the Pratchett bit about "two grandmother's funerals per man per year").
I got to the gym after work: 7.5 minutes of cardio, just for warmup, but I got my heart rate up to 150; the Xpressline, with the leg press weight up to 300 pounds (12 reps on everything except the bicep machine, 11 on that); mat work, 4 sets of 20 crunches, 3 sets of 17 back arches, 4 sets of {2 on each leg} on the yoga tree. Not having been in almost two weeks, I wasn't sure how well I'd do, but I have at least been walking.
