~Thursday~ I’ve always wanted to submit a postcard to PostSecret, more for the challenge of getting it published than getting some daunting deep secret off my chest. The other day, I was cleaning up my “Friends” list on Facebook—because, really, who needs 350 friends—and in the course of doing that, I noticed that someone had … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:16 and while I waited for the bus I mad a list of a couple of other dates that I want to check on my Google calendar in addition to the one I thought of this morning while shaving: When did I last change my razor … Read more
~Thursday~ Once again, I was ready between the 30-minute interval of the city bus, so I rode over to the Avent Ferry and Gorman Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus stop, which would be a convenient place to pick up my car after a luncheon I would be attending down the road on Avent Ferry. Since … Read more
~Tuesday~ In a rare occurrence, I woke up before my alarm went off, which was set for 7:30. That put me enough ahead of schedule for the bus, that I loaded my dishwasher to kill time. I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:14, and the bus arrived at 8:23. The was a new … Read more
~Tuesday~ I wanted to get in earlier than I would have had I waited for the 8:15 city bus, so I took the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus. Note to future self: Do not take buses that have any chance of getting students to campus on the hour. I got on at the second stop … Read more
~Friday, New Year’s Eve~ I slept in today. In the afternoon, I went to the gym, where I did some stretching exercises, 300 ab crunches, and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. Some soap opera, I think it might have been General Hospital, had a very, very, very dramatic (one could almost say melodramatic) episode … 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
~Friday~ I caught the 7:45 city bus, which arrived late. I am so ambivalent about riding the city bus lately. If it wasn’t for the potential blog fodder, I’d choose the frequency and consistency of the university buses in a New York minute. With that said, I used the time waiting this morning to come … Read more
~Friday~ I was up and logged in to work at 5:30 this morning, and I’d sent three e-mails by 6:00. At 7:30, I ran out to my doctor’s office to have some lab work done. When I walked into the bathroom where I was to “produce a sample,” my first thought was, “There really needs … Read more
~Tuesday, Election Day~ I had my alarm set for 7:00, with the intention of running up the street to vote and being back to catch the 8:15 bus. I tossed and turned not wanting to get up, running through various scenarios of voting during lunch or after work. Since I didn’t feel like getting up, … Read more
