~Thursday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:15, and the bus arrived at 8:26. A ways into the ride, a lady started talking incredibly loud on her cell phone. I’m not quite sure of the thought process that makes one yell louder and louder on their end because they can’t hear the person … Read more
~Wednesday~ I checked the online GPS location of the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, and although it was doubtful I would make it to the stop in time, I tried anyway. As I was parking, the bus pulled up about 200 feet away. I walked to the nearest city bus stop, which was pretty close … Read more
~Tuesday~ Since I was up on the early side this morning, I decided to drive to work, and I got the penultimate free parking spot down by the Raleigh Little Theater. Sweet. And since I don’t have a buscapde to share, I’ll share a link to this very short article from The Onion sent to … Read more
~Monday~ On my way to the bus stop this morning, I checked my mailbox for potential mail from Friday and Saturday’s deliveries, but the only thing in it was a sales flyer, which I promptly left there. Those things go directly into my recycle bin anyway. I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16 … Read more
~Sunday~ I woke up at just before 10:00 and immediately called the front desk asking for a late checkout, which they granted until 1:00. We were actually out of there by about 11:30, and we stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts, where I ordered a bagel with cream cheese, and a small coffee, which came to $3.65. … Read more
~Saturday~ We woke up at about 10:00, and I slept a little bit longer while Joe drove to the nearby Drunkin’ [sic] Donuts and got coffee and bagels for us. Sweet! Thanks, my friend. We hung out at the hotel pool for a couple of hours, where one of the hotel worker’s nine-year-old daughter babysat … Read more
~Friday~ I hit the snooze button one too many times this morning, which eventually precluded my making it to the bus stop in time for the 8:15 city bus. I used ncsu.transloc.com to time my arrival at the Wolfline #9 Greek Village Gorman and Kaplan stop to pretty much just step onto the bus—not without … Read more
~Thursday~ I wasn’t sure how, but I woke up at about 6:45, and about a minute later I heard a short piercing chirp coming from my hallway area, which sounded about every 30 seconds. After about the third one, I got up and looked at the two detectors in my small hallway, one being the … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was quasi organized this morning, so I only had to add the four heaping teaspoons of coffee into the coffee maker, which was already primed with a filter and water. I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:14, where within view there were three areas of the sidewalk “under construction.” I’m not … Read more
~Tuesday~ I had a good eating week this week, and I appreciated that my scale agreed with me on that this morning. Progress. Since I’d made my breakfast and lunch sandwiches last night, and my coffee pot was set to automatically start brewing my coffee at 8:00, I was essentially ready to go when I … Read more
