~Saturday~ I was up fairly early for a Saturday, since I fell asleep so early last night. I woke up at 1:30 in the morning and had abdominal pains severe enough that, for a brief amount of time, I wondered if I was having some sort of “incident.” Perhaps too much greasy food at happy … Read more
~Friday~ I drove in to work this morning and parked in the Van Allen parking deck with one of the five daily parking permits I have left for 2010. I’ve mentioned here before that when you take public transportation to work at NC State, you get 12 parking permits each year to use as you … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus with Hello Outdoorsy Driver at the helm. Sitting in my vicinity was a white guy in a wheelchair, a black guy sleeping, and a black lady two seats in front of me with a serious updo. A little bit down the road, the wheelchair guy’s phone rang: “I’VE BEEN … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, and just as I took a seat, I thought I heard, “John!” and then I knew I heard, “John!!!” from a few seats away. It was Rachael, one of my favorite people from our Alternative Spring Break 2010 Gulf Coast Trip to Thibodaux, LA in March. … Read more
~Tuesday~ I had my annual physical today, and all I’m going to say about it was that it was a wake-up call in several ways. Since I’m bound and determined not to be on (what I’m calling) the fat-as-fuck health plan come July 1, 2011, it’s good timing. The numbers on the scale and on … Read more
~Monday~ This morning I actually remembered that I left my thermos at work on Friday before I put the coffee on. I drove to the Food Lion Park & Ride this morning to catch either the #1 Avent Ferry Wolfline bus or the #9 Greek Village bus, both of which terminate there. I didn’t see … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in long enough to get eight hours sleep. Yay for Sundays, and morning routines: Coffee with breakfast, country gospel music, and a gander through this week’s PostSecrets. At around 4:00, I took about a two-mile walk, over to the Food Lion and back. I didn’t buy anything while I was there; I … Read more
~Saturday~ My alarm was set for 10:00 this morning, but I got up at 9:30. I had some leftover cooked Italian sausage and some mushrooms from my spaghetti dinner the other night, and along with some cheese, I made a most delicious omelet with them. I did two loads of laundry, one of sheets and … Read more
~Friday~ I caught the 7:45 city bus, which arrived late. I am so ambivalent about riding the city bus lately. If it wasn’t for the potential blog fodder, I’d choose the frequency and consistency of the university buses in a New York minute. With that said, I used the time waiting this morning to come … Read more
~Thursday~ I picked up the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus this morning, and was pleased to see Jackie on the bus and took a seat next to her. Jackie was the student leader on our 2010 Gulf Coast Alternative Spring Break Trip last year to Thibodaux, LA, where we did post-Katrina Habitat for Humanity Work. … Read more
