~Tuesday~ Another short bus ride this morning for day two of the DITA conference at the McKimmon Center. Though, I never saw her, I listened to a little kid “saying the darnedest things” in the back of the bus during the short time I was on it. Today’s entry will be on the affirmation-heavy side, … Read more
~Monday~ I caught the “short bus” today, meaning I only traveled four stops instead of the fifteen or so I normally do to get to work. And that’s because I attended the first day of a DITA Conference, which was held at the McKimmon Center, which is very close to my house, which is one more “which”—make that two … Read more
~Sunday~ I had breakfast at the Farmers’ Market Restaurant enjoying their most delicious French Toast. I had it with link sausage and an egg over easy on the side. I know it’s redundant to have an egg with French Toast, since the batter on it is made with eggs, but I like it, and it’s … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was up at 4:15 and left my house at 4:35 to pick up Joe. I got him to Terminal 2 at just after 5:00 for his trip to Erie with a 6:00 departure. I wanted to get in to work early this morning, but wasn’t as successful as I had hoped. I got to … Read more
~Tuesday~ Today’s buscapades were “bookended” by poor planning, which is to say that both buses (inbound in the morning and outbound in the afternoon) waited for me as I ran to them. I was grateful to make it on both accounts. He’s got no ticket to ride, He’s got no ticket to ride, He’s got … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 9:30 and had an Asiago-Parmesan bagel with low-fat cream cheese with chives for breakfast, along with some coffee. For lunch, I made an amazingly delicious omelet, taking advantage of some of the veggies I’d cut up yesterday. I put cheddar cheese, onions, red pepper, and mushrooms on it. So yummy! Have … Read more
~Saturday~ I met my friend Will at the Hardee’s at Gorman and Avent Ferry at just before 10:30, where he handed off to me a DVD set of the first season of The Wire. I’ve heard great things about this show from my fellow salon member, and friend, Etta. I said jokingly to Will as … Read more
~Friday~ I read on the bus this morning. I did notice that Thong Lady got on at her usual stop, the stop after mine. Her maroon-red hair was tied up with a kerchief that had the color of watermelon slices in it—that is to say, red, white, and green. I wore my Grammar Police t-shirt today, … Read more
~Thursday~ I was a non-observant slug on the bus this morning. I read the entire 10- to 15-minute ride, as I’m deep into the Moonlight Becomes You. Several characters are beginning to emerge as the possible murderer—that is to say, several of them have been provided with the two critical criminal elements: motive and opportunity. … Read more
~Wednesday~ This morning I rode in to work on the Wolfline (NCSU’s bus line) instead of the city bus. An international student from India standing in the aisle in front of my seat had on a t-shirt with this imprinted on it, which made me chuckle: In the category of: [hover over image for help] I … Read more
