~Friday~ I drove into the office today, using one of those three remaining daily parking permits that are expiring on 12/31/10 to park in the Van Allen Deck. The suite in which my office resides was deserted when I got in, which is odd, because I’m usually one of the last people in. I took … Read more
~Wednesday~ I woke up feeling much better this morning, but definitely not 100%. I guess that expired soup was okay, as I saw no ill effects (literally) from it. By the time I finished packing my laptop back it was part technology toter, part lunch bag, and part medicine chest. Something has happened to the … Read more
~Tuesday~ I woke up with a cough that felt like it sucked pure acid up through my esophagus, and a temperature of 99.7°, making me even more grateful to be able to work from home today. I was particularly pleased with my weigh-in this morning, especially with the overeating done this past long holiday weekend. … Read more
~Sunday~ I got in eight hours of sleep again, for which I’m grateful. Precious few holiday days left. Like zero. I kept putting it off, but at about 3:30, I finally went to the gym. Since food is such an integral part of my life, I’m going to describe today’s workout using a food metaphor. … Read more
~Friday~ I had a lazy, lazy Friday, with only two things that I really wanted to get done today—one negotiable, the other not. The negotiable one, which I did get done, was to get out my huge plastic tub full of holiday stuff, and that was mostly to get me started sooner, rather than later, … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rolled out of bed at 8:30 and after putting on a pot of coffee, logged into work. I was an obedient employee, and logged off between 2:30 and 3:00. At around 3:00, I headed over to Great Clips for a $7.99 haircut, where LaToya cut my hair again, and finally didn’t say, “Have … Read more
~Monday~ I was running behind this morning, and arriving at the bus stop at 8:18, I couldn’t be sure if I hadn’t missed the 8:15 bus. At 8:29, I was just about to admit defeat, when the bus pulled up to the nearby intersection. There was a new driver behind the wheel, and he didn’t … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 8:30 this morning and settled in for my Sunday morning routine of coffee, breakfast, this week’s PostSecrets, and my country gospel CD queued up on my iPod. Somehow, I inadvertently put on something else, which may have been a shuffle of songs of the gospel genre or something, but whatever … Read more
~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
