~Sunday~ I slept in this morning. Oh glorious Sunday. I didn’t have any bread, which is a real bummer to me when it comes to breakfast. I made a ham-onion-cheddar omelet, and suffered through it without toast. This entry from today’s PostSecrets made me think of the three voicemail messages I have saved of my … Read more
~Saturday~ I finally got my lazy ass back to the gym today, where I did only 200 ab crunches, since I haven’t done them in over a week, and so I’ll still be able to sit up tomorrow. I followed that up with 40 minutes of cardio on the elliptical machine. I didn’t see any … Read more
~Wednesday~ I had a first-time appointment with a dermatologist who was recommended by my friend, Kevin (av8rdude). When I entered the building in which the practice resides, I was struck by a sign that reminded me of failblog.org‘s new feature called, “Oddly Specific,” which includes entries like: and I mean I’ve heard of pain clinics … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 6:30 and off to NC State at 7:15 for a 7:30 departure with the Alternative Spring Break 2011 Gulf Coast team for an all-day retreat out at the Braemar Habitat for Humanity site in Zebulon, NC. It worked out that we had four cars going, so I drove separately and … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:14 and the bus arrived at 8:25, with Hot Mess Driver at the helm. I made a quick assessment as to whether I thought I could make it the entire ride with my sweatjacket on and decided I couldn’t. Too hot. At a subsequent stop, a … Read more
~Monday~ It was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which for state employees means a holiday. I slept in this morning, until 11:00 or 11:30. That Dulcolax “did its thing” last night before bed, and I started off the day well on my way to an “emptiness” I don’t want to feel again for at least … Read more
~Friday~ I was counting on an 8:22 bus arrival this morning, since I got to the stop a little bit late. I checked the temperature while waiting, and I was shocked to see 19° on my weather channel phone app, but I just couldn’t believe it was that cold, so I checked wral.com/weather, which said … Read more
~Thursday~ Today was trash and recycle day, and when I passed by my recycle bin, which I’d put out last night, someone had added some very healthy recyclables to it: a Honey Nut Cheerios® box, two tubs of low-fat yogurt, and something that contained Flaxseed, which I only know because it was written in big … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the 8:45 bus in instead of the 8:15, as the university was on a weather delay opening at 10:00. It’s the day after the “big ice storm” that brought everything to a standstill around here, and it was cold while I waited for the bus, about which warnings had been posted on … Read more
~Monday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:15, and the bus arrived at 8:22. Not to get all back into frequency distribution and statistics, but I think 8:22 is starting to be a significant number. In the game of mean, median, mode, and range, 8:22 is clearly emerging as the mode. Who cares? … Read more
