~Tuesday~ I woke up with a cough that felt like it sucked pure acid up through my esophagus, and a temperature of 99.7°, making me even more grateful to be able to work from home today. I was particularly pleased with my weigh-in this morning, especially with the overeating done this past long holiday weekend. … Read more
~Monday~ I left my house at 8:14, was at the bus stop at 8:15, and the bus arrived at 8:20. That’s the kind of timing I like when it’s in the 30s in the morning. There were only three other people already on when I boarded, and I was kind of surprised when the bus … Read more
~Sunday~ I got in eight hours of sleep again, for which I’m grateful. Precious few holiday days left. Like zero. I kept putting it off, but at about 3:30, I finally went to the gym. Since food is such an integral part of my life, I’m going to describe today’s workout using a food metaphor. … Read more
~Saturday~ Another glorious day of eight hours of sleep. Today I’m thankful for holiday weekends. I met Robert at the Regal Brier Creek Stadium 14 theater, for the 4:30 showing of: As expected, it was pretty much an audience of women and gay men, with the occasional husband who goes to chick flicks to appease … Read more
~Friday~ I had a lazy, lazy Friday, with only two things that I really wanted to get done today—one negotiable, the other not.

~Thanksgiving Thursday~ Robert arrived at shortly after 8:30 and after turning around on Gorman Street to retrieve a forgotten item—bourbon—we were off to Greenville.

~Wednesday~ I rolled out of bed at 8:30 and after putting on a pot of coffee, logged into work. I was an obedient employee, and logged off between 2:30 and 3:00. At around 3:00, I headed over to Great Clips for a $7.99 haircut, where LaToya cut my hair again, and finally didn’t say, “Have … Read more
~Tuesday~ I’ve been running behind in the mornings lately, so today I set my alarm ten minutes earlier than I have been. I was out at the bus stop at 8:17, and the bus arrived at 8:23. It was a beautiful morning weather-wise, and the sun caught the trees near my house and stop at … Read more
~Monday~ I was running behind this morning, and arriving at the bus stop at 8:18, I couldn’t be sure if I hadn’t missed the 8:15 bus. At 8:29, I was just about to admit defeat, when the bus pulled up to the nearby intersection. There was a new driver behind the wheel, and he didn’t … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 8:30 this morning and settled in for my Sunday morning routine of coffee, breakfast, this week’s PostSecrets, and my country gospel CD queued up on my iPod.
