~Thursday, New Year’s Eve~ This is my 365th entry this year. Another full calendar year of not missing a day of blogging. Yay, me. I was up at 9:00, which is fairly early for me on a vacation day, and after a sesame bagel with honey walnut cream cheese and some coffee, I put in … Read more
~Wednesday~ Another lazy vacation day. Yay. In the afternoon, I ventured out to make both a deposit and a withdrawal at the credit union. I deposited around $1200 and withdraw $140. The check I deposited was from Nathan, my financial advisor, and was the result of cashing out one of two Certificates of Deposit (CDs) … Read more
~Tuesday~ I slept in this morning. Glorious vacation. I made my way back to the gym this afternoon—The prodigal son returns to Planet Fitness, if you will. Fortunately for me, there was a Bring-Your-Own-Fatt(en)ed-Calves party going on there today, so I fit right in. During my workout, which consisted of 60 minutes on the treadmill … Read more
~Monday~ Last night before going to bed, I called the front desk for a late check-out, and they gave us until 1:00PM. However, we were up and at ’em before 10:00, in fact in time to get downstairs before 10:00 and enjoy some complimentary breakfast. We were checked out and on the road home by … Read more
~Sunday~ I forgot to capture this from yesterday. It’s from a follow-up e-mail from my uncle, from which I wanted to capture a few more affirmations: Writer you are, I would be on the computer 24 hours if I wrote all the things you write about. You do one hell of a job… I will … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:30, and I made coffee and had a bagel along with a hard-boiled egg minus the yolk. Checking my e-mail, I was surprised and delighted to receive a note from my uncle in Florida, who had received my Christmas card and letter. It had a lot of affirmations in it, … Read more
~Friday, Christmas Day~ Happy Holidays, dear readers! Thanks for dropping in during the year. I appreciate you! I headed out to Greenville at just after 9:00. Robert had to work today, so I traveled solo in overcast weather, but in light traffic. There were a couple of cops on the road, with at least one … Read more
~Thursday, Christmas Eve~ I was up fairly early in spite of being off work today, as I pretty much dropped into the bed when I got home last night, so eight hours of sleep finished early. I rode out to Kohl’s with the specific intent of buying two or three pairs of shoes. It’s a … Read more
~Wednesday~ I had breakfast at Pam’s Farm House restaurant, and the waitress was at our table and poised with her pad and pen within seconds after having delivered our coffee. The two people with me were still looking at their menus, so I joked to her as she stood in the ready position, “You sure … Read more
~Tuesday~ The Wolfline bus is not running now until school starts back up in January, so it’s the city bus for sure today and tomorrow, and then I’m done for the year. One nice thing about working for the university is that it shuts down (for all intents and purposes) the week between Christmas and … Read more
