~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
~Thursday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus with Hello Outdoorsy Driver at the helm. Sitting in my vicinity was a white guy in a wheelchair, a black guy sleeping, and a black lady two seats in front of me with a serious updo. A little bit down the road, the wheelchair guy’s phone rang: “I’VE BEEN … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, and just as I took a seat, I thought I heard, “John!” and then I knew I heard, “John!!!” from a few seats away. It was Rachael, one of my favorite people from our Alternative Spring Break 2010 Gulf Coast Trip to Thibodaux, LA in March. … Read more
~Saturday~ My alarm was set for 10:00 this morning, but I got up at 9:30. I had some leftover cooked Italian sausage and some mushrooms from my spaghetti dinner the other night, and along with some cheese, I made a most delicious omelet with them. I did two loads of laundry, one of sheets and … Read more
~Wednesday~ It was rough getting up this morning. I had my alarm set for 7:30, but got up a little before, and I was down to breakfast by a little after 8:00. I sat at a table by myself, since I was on the tail end of the 7:00-8:30 serving time, and the place was … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up at 6:00 and downstairs shortly after breakfast started at 7:00. Everything was delicious that I had—scrambled eggs, hash brown potatoes, sausage, and bacon, but I sure did want some kind of bread, none of which was a part of the spread. I tried to “walk the talk” of taking advantage of … Read more
~Sunday~ This morning’s breakfast situation was a wash, rinse, and repeat of yesterday’s. I had a relaxing (well at least in terms of it not being crowded) and free hotel breakfast again. A lady on her phone spoke loudly the entire time I was there saying what a particular dog was thinking at any one … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 9:15 and went down to the hotel lobby for breakfast. In a change from normal, it was uncrowded, which made it a very relaxing and free breakfast. Upon heading back to the room, I picked up a cup of coffee, a cup of orange juice, and some danish for Joe. … Read more
