Whoa, I just realized that tomorrow is Friday the 13th. Appropriate, considering my jury deliberation has just taken a turn for the wicked, my judge isn’t here this afternoon to address their issues so we’ve put it over to tomorrow, and tomorrow morning, my reporter has a root canal scheduled and won’t be here if they request readback of testimony, and I’m being assigned out to work that one specialized courtroom again, so I don’t know who’s going to cover my courtroom. Of course it also means the specialized courtroom will have a day from hell and I’ll be working late.

Well, how about this. I hereby sprinkle imaginary protection dust on all who read this today and tomorrow. Except if you’re a bad person, or I don’t like you. Then no protection for you! Save my fairy dust for someone who deserves it. (That last part’s gonna ruin my karma for the day.)
