~Sunday~ We had a leisurely morning. Casey did some laundry and a little volunteer work for Distributed Proofreading, which is “an organization that provides a web-based method to ease the conversion of Public Domain books into e-books.” I worked on catching up a few days of my blog, with it taking an inordinate amount of … Read more
~Saturday~ When I got down to my kitchen, there was a sticky note on my thermostat from Casey that he’d just left to go for a run. This inspired me to run to the gym right after a quick breakfast. I did a 40-minute cardio workout on the elliptical machine, for a 711-calorie burn. There … Read more
~Wednesday~ Casey mentioned the possibility of replacing my thermostat with one with a timer in it so that my house can be the temperature I want it to be when I get home. Before leaving for the bus stop, a made a note of the make and model of my heat pump to that end: … Read more
~Wednesday~ I walked up to the bus stop at 8:19 and the bus arrived at 8:20. I love it when that happens. When I boarded there was a city bus newbie, who was asking the bus driver at which stop he should get off in order to catch a connector to somewhere. I walked around … Read more
~Monday~ I caught the 7:45 city bus, and once on it, I sent an instant message from my BlackBerry to my officemate—who is in the process of becoming my boss—asking her what time a meeting was that she was attending today, as she wanted some input from me for it. I thought it was at … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the 6:45 bus, which was so on time that I would have missed it if I’d’ve run back to my house to get my phone charger that I’d forgotten, like I’d thought about doing. When I got on, there were two other people already aboard at this god-awful hour, including an older … Read more
~Wednesday~ The 7:45 city bus was on the late side, arriving at about 7:58. Who’s keeping track? When it pulled up, I noticed that its front and center sign that alternately displays the route (#12 Method) and the direction (Inbound or Outbound) indicated outbound. However, when it gets to my stop, it is inbound. I’m … Read more
~Tuesday~ I took Kevin (av8rdude) to the airport this morning to pick up his rental car instead of this afternoon to catch his flight back to Seattle, as his plans changed while he was here, and he’s off to the northeast instead. I worked from home with the exception of running in to the office … Read more
~Labor Day Monday~ Oh glorious holiday! I slept in. Kevin (av8rdude) took my car to spend a few hours with some Raleigh friends of his, and I took advantage of the time at home to devise my Sunday blog entry; load dirty—and then unload clean—dishes from the dishwasher; and wash, dry, and fold a load … Read more
~Sunday~ Oh glorious sleeping in, I appreciated you so much this morning. I went to the gym at around 2:30, where I did 60 minutes of cardio work on the elliptical machine for an 1162-calorie burn. I really wasn’t “feeling it” today, and the inner dialog started right at about the 20-minute mark with, “I’m … Read more
