I worked from home today. I was running rate to meet Adrienne for a late lunch out at the outlet mall, and while drying off after my rushed shower, I checked my work voice mail just in case. Good thing. She needed to cancel. We rescheduled for next week. We got to Van’s at about … Read more
My eye looked much worse this morning. I worked from home, and called Dr. Andrus’ office for an appointment. They had an opening at 1:40 with Dr. Oyler. I took it. I canceled my lunch with Kathy C. in order to make the eye appointment. While there, got this skin tag / wart removed from … Read more
I met Robert for lunch at the CPK at SouthPoint and we had a great lunch. He used his $25 gift certificate for good customer service from UNC. I stopped at the Rec Center on the way back and bought two covered pavilion seats for Tim McGraw. We had the first of the PM/RM Meetings … Read more

First thing this morning, I called the Lost & Found office at the airport.

I woke up before my 7:00 wake-up call, at about 6:40. I couldn’t go back to sleep, so got up at about 6:50. I called the wake-up call number, and tried to cancel the call (so it wouldn’t ring while I was showering), but there was not an option to cancel. Just one to confirm, … Read more
