~Monday~ This morning brought who I’ve referred to before in the past as Madonna and Child aboard the bus. She’s the mother with the Genetics notebook and the adorable little bi-racial daughter with the absolute most adorable face and precocious hair. I think I’m going to refer to them as Mother and Genetically-Beautiful Daughter from … Read more
~Sunday~ Robert arrived at close to 9:00 this morning, and we left my house at around 9:20. We rode for an hour-and-a-half to Greenville, where we met my sister, her husband, and my parents for lunch at Red Lobster. My parents were late arriving, which is atypical enough that we started making phone calls when … Read more
~Saturday~ On my last grocery store visit, I bought “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” for the first time in a long time. I haven’t opened it yet, as I’m still on my last stick of Land O’ Lakes real butter. I remember whenever I first tried ICBINB thinking, “Wow, this isn’t bad.” But, obviously, … Read more
~Friday~ Diarrhea-of-the-Mouth lady was back this morning and once again living up to her name. Loud, liquid, flow. Folded Red-Tipped White Caner (FR-TWC) guy got on this morning, who I’ve talked about a few times now. In earlier buscapades, this is the guy who the bus driver waved the fare ticket at him that he’d left … Read more
~Thursday~ I forgot to mention yesterday, that on the way home, on that 8:15 bus, the Waffle House Lady was on her way to work. I always see her in the morning on the way home from work. She looks happier in the morning going home. I’m just saying… Just now-christened Diarrhea-of-the-Mouth was on board … Read more
~Wednesday~ I had an absolutely insanely busy work day today. I spent all morning setting up project websites for projects on our budget reduction strategy and strategic organizational projects list. All afternoon, nonstop, I worked on the minutes of our last University IT Committee meeting, which have to go out two weeks before the next … Read more
~Tuesday~ The bus was running a little late this morning. It’s almost always at my stop by 8:25. Today it came at 8:30. Fortunately, I still made it in time for my 9:00 meeting. I had three meetings today. Two involved food. The 9-10 one was our department meeting, to which I brought sausage biscuits, … Read more
~Monday~ This morning there was somewhat of a Buscapade Character Reunion on the bus. Swapping Dollar was aboard, and none-to-happy about Arguing Man being in his seat up front, where he (Swapping Dollar) usually sits talking to the bus driver. You remember Swapping Dollar—the character formerly known as Cochise. Jackie O’ Lantern, another of that … Read more
~Sunday~ Oh glorious day. I slept in this morning. I devised and posted yesterday’s blog entry on death and dying, and I received lots of comments about it on Facebook. One of them was from my friend, Brenda, who let me know that my friend Mel died of colon cancer that spread to his liver. … Read more
~Saturday~ Death was on my mind today. Twice this week I’ve learned about someone dying via Facebook. One of the people was the husband of a guy who I’ve only ever “met” online, and the other was a high school friend of mine. Neither one of which I’d known was sick. I’m surprised at how … Read more
