~Sunday~ I slept in this morning and had a lazy day in general. Here’s to a long holiday weekend. I was back to my regular breakfast sandwich today, which I of course enjoyed with coffee, while perusing this week’s PostSecret entries. I went to download the following secret to put here and comment, “I don’t … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 7:00 after twelve hours sleep. Glorious. Instead of my usual no-yolk hard-boiled egg—on a sandwich flat with two turkey sausage patties, and a slice of cheese—I actually fried an egg-over-hard and had that on said sandwich. It was pretty yummy. As soon as I get myself a pair of nylons, … Read more
~Friday~ Today I was grateful to have some flexibility in my work schedule that allowed me to run to Durham to take Robert to the airport for his late-morning flight. Safe travels, my sweet! I had lunch with the office gang: Vanessa, Jen, Justin Jason, Garrison, and Nick. We ate at [the most decadent] Red … Read more
~Thursday~ I got to the city stop at 8:16, and the bus arrived at 8:25. There were more students on the bus than usual, as the university buses are on a weird schedule this week; I think it might be between Summer Session I and Summer Session II now. There was a man on the … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:15, and the bus arrived at 8:30. There were three kids in the back of the bus, two of whom talked loudly non-stop, while the other one, a baby, wailed intermittently. The bus made a stop in front of the new Bristol Creek apartments at the … Read more
~Tuesday~ In a rare occurrence, I woke up before my alarm went off, which was set for 7:30. That put me enough ahead of schedule for the bus, that I loaded my dishwasher to kill time. I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:14, and the bus arrived at 8:23. The was a new … Read more
~Monday~ I drove to work and got a parking spot near the Raleigh Rose Garden where you can park all day without paying. I sent an email to Pam who mentioned this weekend that one of my aunts had died last week, as I wanted to get her last name (she was long-divorced from my … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at about 9:30, and I was welcomed to the kitchen by Pam and a pot of coffee already made. So sweet, especially since she doesn’t even drink coffee! I had some of the leftover omelet from yesterday, which was just as good—if not better—today, and then I packed my suitcase and … Read more
~Saturday~ I got up at about 10:00, and Pam had made a delicious omelet of eggs, tomatoes, and cheese, which I totally enjoyed with an English muffin and a banana. And cawfee, of course. At a little after noon, Pam, Tara, and I packed up and headed to the beach, which was perhaps five miles … Read more
~Friday~ I dragged my butt out of bed at 6:00AM, stumbled to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of ambition, and only then realized that I was not Dolly Parton. By 9:00, I had several of my work tasks done, as well as a load of laundry. The joys of working at home. I met … Read more
