~Tuesday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, where after ten minutes of just standing there, the back of my shirt was wet with sweat. Can you say humid as f*ck again? And zero breeze. The bus arrived at 8:26, and not a moment too soon. I’ll give you a topic, “Neither Hot … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was quasi organized this morning, so I only had to add the four heaping teaspoons of coffee into the coffee maker, which was already primed with a filter and water. I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:14, where within view there were three areas of the sidewalk “under construction.” I’m not … Read more
~Tuesday~ I had a good eating week this week, and I appreciated that my scale agreed with me on that this morning. Progress. Since I’d made my breakfast and lunch sandwiches last night, and my coffee pot was set to automatically start brewing my coffee at 8:00, I was essentially ready to go when I … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, and the bus arrived at 8:23. The usual 8:15, Hot Mess Driver herself, was at the helm. The temperature outside was beautiful, so having absolutely no air circulating on the bus wasn’t as bad as it might have been. A couple of students took the … Read more
~Friday~ I enjoyed beautiful weather at the city bus stop this morning, arriving there at 8:13 and boarding the bus at 8:26. Hot Mess Driver was running late this morning, but at least she had the oven turned off. A lady sitting across from me was wearing what looked like a nurse’s smock, although it … Read more
~Friday~ In a rare event, I awoke before my 7:30 alarm went off, and I actually went ahead and got up. I made coffee, breakfast and lunch, all “to go,” and I was at the bus stop a wasteful two minutes early, at 8:13. The weather was absolutely prefect this morning—cool enough to notice, but … Read more
~Friday~ I was at the city bus stop for a few minutes when Exercising Asian Man walked up and said, “Good morning.” “Good morning,” I replied. “Bus coming?” he asked as if I had any more powers “to know” than he did. Although I wanted to say, “Eventually,” I just said, “I don’t hear it.” … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:18. Shortly after that Exercising Asian Man walked down the entrance to our townhouse, but instead of coming to our stop, he turned left and jogged down to the one further down the street. The bus arrived at 8:24. Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up before the alarm this morning, which most certainly is unusual, particularly since I’d only had about five hours of sleep. It was a beautiful, sunny, 69° spring morning with the smell of fresh-cut grass in the air, remnants of fresh-cut grass on the pavement, and the sound of fresh-cut grass becoming … Read more
~Friday~ As I walked down the short paved entrance into my townhouse area, I looked long and hard at this retaining wall to see if it had: 1) naturally eroded, 2) been vandalized, or 3) been hit by a vehicle. But in the end, I couldn’t draw any definite conclusion. Can you? I was at … Read more
