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
Courtney woke me up at 8:15. I changed clothes, and brushed my teeth, deciding to shower when I got home. The toilet wouldn’t stop running, and Courtney yelled from upstairs, “John, are you handy?” We got it to stop running, and she left it precariously set, sure to not work properly on the next flush. … Read more
I got up at 5:00, and left for the airport at about 5:40. I parked at Park and Ride 3, the Purple Lot, and took the shuttle to the Southwest terminal. I had printed my gate pass from the web, since I wasn’t checking any bags, and was able to proceed directly to the gate … Read more
The plan was to see “The Producers” at the NC Museum of Art’s outdoor movie series, but as the evening progressed, things went awry. Robert and I left for FedEx at just after 7:30. My package, which is my new Verizon cell phone has been riding around Raleigh since the first attempt to deliver it … Read more
I went to the LRC’s “Tribute to Womyn of the Triangle” recognition dinner at the Eno River UUF in Durham. Wayne and Robert also went. Jan was there, of course, and she had her (straight) sister with her. I think her name was Chris. They had posters along the back wall of all the honorees. … Read more
Tonight was the Raleigh Community Forum, the first of TCW’s call for input on the needs, services, and location of a LGBT Community Center in the Triangle area. We decided to rent the sanctuary, instead of using the Vaughn Wing, even though it was a lot more costly. About 70 people showed up, including a … Read more
