~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
~Monday~ “Wow!” I thought walking to the bus stop, “This is the first time in I don’t know how long that both of my knees are pain-free.” I then went into a great, dramatic false memory of walking down an aisle and up to an altar, and having my forehead palm-slapped while a perspiring preacher … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in again this morning, and my first glance at this week’s PostSecrets startled me as I didn’t read the title and since they were all about fathers, I panicked, “I thought Father’s Day was next Sunday!” It may be shallow, but it’s honest. Of this week’s collection, this one resonated the most … Read more
~Saturday~ I slept in this morning. Oh glorious weekend. I devised my blog entry from yesterday, which included the blow-by-blow of my Time-Warner Cable high speed modem upgrade customer service fiasco, and afterward I cut and pasted all of it into a feedback form on their website. Later in the day I received this response … Read more
