~Thursday~ It was a typical morning, except an hour earlier today. I was at the city bus stop at 7:17 and the bus arrived at 7:25. 70% Geek / 30% Military arrived at the stop after me, and as is his M.O., took out a hardback book and read. A man walking on the other … Read more
~Wednesday~ Another non-rushed morning, hooray for that. I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16, but waited across the street from the stop in the sun. It arrived at 8:22. Who’s counting? The bus was pretty empty and for some unknown reason, I decided to count the number of people who got on at … Read more
~Tuesday~ I met my goal of getting more sleep and not rushing in the morning today. I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, and the bus arrived at 8:22. The driver was one of the steam heat drivers from earlier in the fall, but surprisingly, it was a rather comfortable temperature on the … Read more
~Monday~ I woke up tired this morning, which is what five hours of sleep serves up. I have got to make a concerted effort this year to get to bed earlier, and to give myself more time to get ready in the morning so that I’m not so rushed. That was the downside of my … Read more
~Sunday~ I hate, hate, hate that it’s the last day of vacation. Well, good morning to you, too. 🙂 I perused this week’s PostSecrets while enjoying my breakfast and coffee. Below is one of my favorite of this week’s entries, as it reminds me of what we do while we’re here as sentient beings—assign meaning … Read more
~Saturday, New Year’s Day~ I slept in again this morning. The precious few vacation days left are quickly dissipating. There were no New Year’s Day parades or football games on any of the TVs in my house today. Oh yeah, I don’t own any TVs. Just sayin’… The gym was only open from 10:00 – … Read more
~Friday, New Year’s Eve~ I slept in today. In the afternoon, I went to the gym, where I did some stretching exercises, 300 ab crunches, and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. Some soap opera, I think it might have been General Hospital, had a very, very, very dramatic (one could almost say melodramatic) episode … Read more
~Thursday~ I woke up at about 8:45 to day goodbye to av8rdude, who was meeting a friend for breakfast and then heading on to DC to visit another friend on his “2010 East Coast Christmas Tour.” I went back to sleep and got up at about 10:30. Glorious vacation. I waffled about going to the … Read more
~Wednesday~ Oh glorious vacation day! Kevin and I both slept in this morning and actually ended up downstairs in the kitchen, literally, within a minute of each other at around 10:15. Coffee was soon had by each of us, along with a slice of toasted and buttered Bolos Levedos, a half a banana, and a … Read more
~Tuesday~ It was nice to wake up to electricity this morning. I had my alarm set for 10:00, but I woke up at 8:30 and in a rare occurrence I was unable to fall back asleep. I got up and got started on things that needed to be done before my house guest arrived, the … Read more
