~Wednesday~ I woke up not feeling at all well this morning. I had sniffles (perhaps a “summer cold” coming on, as they like to say “down here”), and I had an upset stomach. I arrived at the bus stop at 7:19, which was starting to push it for the 7:15 bus, but it didn’t arrive … Read more
~Wednesday~ Because I had to leave work at 4:00 today, I was up at 6:00 and into the office by 7:30, via a Wolfline bus from the Avent Ferry Park & Ride. A cute guy sat across from me intermittently drinking coffee from a large travel mug and listening to something that emanated from his … Read more
~Saturday~ I ran an errand up in North Raleigh today, closing on the errand I ran back on December 30th, but this time took Six Forks Road up north instead of Capital Boulevard, which as anticipated, was much better in terms of smooth traveling. Once again, I stopped at Honey Baked Ham on the way, … Read more
~Monday~ I woke up to a deafening quiet. The sound machine wasn’t running. The LED clock was completely out. What about that 9-volt battery in it for back-up? I had no idea what time it was until I turned on my phone to see 9:39, and I had no idea how long my power had … Read more
~Thursday~ I drove in this morning and in spite of having one parking permit left for 2010, I parked in the free two-hour street parking right behind my building as opposed to the parking deck where the permit is valid, which is quite a walk from my building. That meant I had to move my … Read more
~Sunday~ We had a leisurely morning. Casey did some laundry and a little volunteer work for Distributed Proofreading, which is “an organization that provides a web-based method to ease the conversion of Public Domain books into e-books.” I worked on catching up a few days of my blog, with it taking an inordinate amount of … Read more
~Wednesday~ Another uncomfortably high-humidity morning boarding a bus with no air circulating whatsoever. During my short 10-15 minute ride, one person fanned himself with a magazine, one lady got up and took two CAT Bus Route pamphlets out of the rack and used those to fan herself, and the guy sitting across from me opened … Read more
~Saturday~ My mom was one of seven children. Her oldest sister (Rita), and her oldest brother (Raymond) died many years ago; however, she’s lost three of her other four siblings in 2010: February 4, 2010, her baby sister. Annette L. Casmiro Annette, 72, was born on June 26, 1937 and passed away on Thursday, February … Read more
~Sunday~ I woke up at 10:00 and called the front desk to request a late checkout of noon instead of 11:00. No problem. I rode out to Donna and Rob’s for brunch, where the Gregory’s still were, anticipating their 3:00-3:30 departure to the airport for a 4:45 flight. Russ, Pam, and Jan went for a … Read more
~Wednesday~ I just made it to the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, such that I crossed the street and walked right on it. At the last minute yesterday, my colleague and peer manager to mine, Sarah, asked me to fill in as the back-up presenter for this morning’s student orientation. I got there a little … Read more
