~Friday~ I slept in this morning, so happy to have taken a vacation day even though I was back in town, and could have worked. I spent a good chunk of time devising Thursday blog entries from the notes I’d taken on my phone of yesterday’s arduous travel day. I also took advantage of my … Read more
~Thursday~ Today’s entry is going to be mostly downbeat and whiny, as it was the last day of vacation and a not-at-all pleasant trip back to Raleigh over two flights. Feel free to stop here and come back tomorrow. The first thing I did when I got up this morning, which was at about 7:15, … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was up at 7:00, and treated myself to another three-cheese omelet for breakfast. I went crazy wild—for the routine person that I am—and switched it up with rye toast, instead of wheat. I know you are as [click here to see what you are] as I am about that. I had a leisurely … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up early again this morning, since I fell asleep so early. I’m getting up earlier on vacation than I ever do at home. Bizarre. I only had a cinnamon raisin bagel, with cream cheese, and coffee for breakfast, and I spent some time there in the poolside restaurant making several moves in … Read more
~Monday~ I was up at a decent hour, considering I was on vacation, and Joe and I had breakfast poolside at the resort restaurant and bar. I had their three-cheese omelet, which is one of my favorites, and some wheat toast, along with some coffee of course. I worked on catching up my blog for … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 4:45, I left for Joe’s place at 5:15, and we were at the airport at shortly after 5:30. We parked in the #4 (Orange) long-term parking lot, which started our day off with drama. Evidently, instead of just pushing a button to get a ticket in order to be let … Read more
~Saturday~ I got up at 8:30 this morning, and I made up a dozen sausage “biscuits” before heading to Durham for our 10:30 Manbites Dog Theater board of directors meeting. Biscuits is in quotation marks, because the turkey sausage patties were actually on rolls, not biscuits. I walked around Geer Street looking for the building … Read more
~Friday~ I drove over to the Wolfline stop, because I was sure I’d missed the 8:15 city bus, but as I was pulling out of the entrance to my townhouses, the city bus drove by. It was 8:23. Oh well. I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Avent Ferry and Gorman. I was … Read more
~Thursday~ I started my work day at Bruegger’s, where when I walked in I said to the award-winning manager and team, “How’s my favorite morning crew?” “A pumpernickel and honey-walnut cream cheese bagel, is that it?” the cashier asked. “And a small cup of coffee, please,” I replied and then added, “Just a skosh of … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was actually ready early this morning, and rather than driving to a nearby Wolfline stop, I killed some time by slicing up a cantaloupe I bought yesterday and emptying my dishwasher. After all that, I almost missed the bus. It pulled up when I was still crossing the street to get to the … Read more
