~Friday~ A glorious vacation day from work for both of us. We were up at a little after 8:00, and on the road to the beach at just a couple of minutes after 10:00. We had an uneventful 2-hour drive to Wilmington, and just over the bridge into Wrightsville Beach, we pulled into the Causeway … Read more
~Thursday~ It has happened twice now in the past couple of weeks, so it’s time to make a serious mental note that these two morning tasks, described here with the rhetorical device known as an unordered list: Put coffee on Get thermos out of briefcase from yesterday to put it in really requires an ordered … Read more
~Wednesday~ The first thing I did this morning was take my temperature. It was 97.1. A de-fever, I guess. The next thing I did was… well, let’s just say that I’m “regular” again and leave it at that. This morning there was a man on the bus with dreadlocks (Yes, dreadlocks yet again!) and a … Read more
~Tuesday~ I woke up to some sort of stomach virus this morning, and I decided that I’d rather be in the bathroom every 10 minutes in the privacy of my own home than at work. I sent an e-mail to my boss asking if I could work from home today, saying if not, then I’d … Read more
~Sunday~ I fixed the most delicious—if I may say so myself (I just did, actually)—Western omelets for breakfast today. They were accompanied by two turkey sausage links each and a half of a bagel each. And coffee (of course!) made by Robert. I’m coming down the home stretch in terms of being ready for my … Read more
~Saturday~ I did something today that I rarely do, and I’m going to be okay with it. I logged into the Wake Country Public Library system, and canceled the copy of The Audacity of Hope that I’d requested and is now available for me, as I’ve decided not to finish it. The last book I … Read more
~Friday~ This morning a blind rider got on the bus at one stop. I’ve mentioned this guy before, although it’s been quite a while. The last time I mentioned him was when he didn’t take his fare ticket out of the machine after paying, and the bus driver held it out, waving it up and … Read more
~Thursday~ This morning Library Guy—who wears glasses, is usually totally silent on the bus, doesn’t make eye contact, and almost always reads, usually a magazine in his field of study—was yammering away with the lady behind me, who was the lady I mentioned a week or two ago who at that time was reading a … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was up at 5:20, left my house at 5:30, and picked up Joe at 5:45 for an airport delivery of his body to the US Airway terminal for yet another trip to Pennsylvania to address family issues. Back home, I had a quick breakfast, and brewed four cups of coffee while I made … Read more
~Tuesday~ An uneventful ride in this morning. I read The Audacity of Hope on my Kindle the entire way. Still never going to finish by Friday, but later in the day, I went ahead and requested a copy to be put on hold at the Cameron Village Library for me. That way, when I turn … Read more
