Robert and I had the last two hamburgers left over from Steve’s party. I know he’s glad to see them gone. Dancing was its usual fun. Three more folks signed up to participate in the dancing at the fundraiser at the art museum on September 28th. Yippee.

I was at Triangle Car Care at 6:15 this morning, wrote up the work order, and walked up to the corner to wait for Sharon, who was to arrive at 6:30. At 6:35, I called her pager to make sure she remembered that she was supposed to pick me up. “Yes,” she said, “I’m turning … Read more

Robert and I had breakfast at IHOP. Other than being dripped on twice from two different air vents in the ceiling on the way to our table, breakfast was uneventful. We stopped by Blockbuster, and rented the DVD of Amelie, which I wanted to see again, and Robert wanted to see for the first time … Read more

It rained all day today, at times, very hard. I assumed Steve’s pool party was canceled. I hung out at the house all day. Robert and I met Jay, Howard, Russell, and his friend Jerry to see Dirty Pretty Thing at the Colony. I enjoyed that movie. After that, Robert and I went to Legends, … Read more

Robert left for work at about 7:15. I slept for another few hours. I got up, had coffee, and breakfast. I spent about an hour-and-a-half out back cleaning up the ground beyond my deck, and the deck furniture. I stacked the leftover pieces of wood that James left out there when building the deck, and … Read more

I tried to reach Dad’s doctor twice today, since she never returned my call yesterday. I left a very detailed message at about 11:30, on the way to book club lunch at Souper Salad, which the receptionist said she’d get to her. At around 3:00, I called back to ask for a specific time that … Read more

I worked from home again today, and thank goodness I checked my calendar before 9:00. We MMMMMMMMMMed before I knew if Courtney was gone or not, and I stifled my screams. God, that man works me. Afterward, we got up only to find out that she had already left. I started moaning and screaming like … Read more

I worked from home today, and got only one action item done – as far as I could take it anywhere. It takes so much coordination and input and research from different people and areas to get some of these things done, and sometimes that’s real frustrating. Just after noon, my power snapped off for … Read more

Courtney arrived at about 9:00. I had taped a sign on my door that said, “Courtney Melissa: COME TO MY WINDOW” with an arrow under it pointing over to my window. She cracked up when she arrived and knocked on my window. Too funny. Even though we said we wouldn’t we ate once she arrived. … Read more

Mom woke me up at 7:15. I “shit, showered, and shaved” and mom and I had some toast and coffee in the kitchen. We talked about weight control, and a woman friend of hers who has lost over 120 pounds. “That’s a whole person!” she kept saying. We left for the base hospital at about … Read more
