~Tuesday~ I totally forgot to capture this yesterday: As soon as I set my stuff down upon arrival at the office, the fire alarm went off. My officemate muttered under her breath, “I haven’t got time for this today…” A few seconds later, our colleague Noah stuck his head in the suite area of our … Read more
~Monday~ I parked at the Avent Ferry Food Lion Park & Ride, where both the #1 Avent Ferry Wolfline bus and the #9 Greek Village one were waiting. I asked the driver of the #1, “Which bus’ll be leaving first?” “This one,” he replied, and I boarded it. Only five people boarded it along the … Read more
~Saturday~ We were up around 9:30, and Robert put on coffee for us, while I made us each a couple of “sausage biscuits,” which consisted of slicing four King’s Hawaiian rolls, microwaving four Jimmy Dean turkey sausage patties, and sticking them into the rolls when they were cooked. Simple, but delicious. We rode downtown to Lump Gallery … Read more
~Thursday~ The heat is starting to roll in in North Carolina, and I mean even as early as 8:00 in the morning. Today, I started my shade strategy, which is to say that I stayed on the side of the street opposite the city bus stop that is completely in the shade until the bus … Read more
~Wednesday~ Xolani and I had a nice exchange as we walked out to the bus stop together, since we hadn’t seen each other since last Wednesday. He actually went to Greensboro this weekend while I was gone, and although I didn’t learn how he did, I was glad to hear that he’d gotten out of … Read more
~Wednesday~ Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Xolani and I caught the 7:45 city bus. One of Xolani’s dollar bills did not cooperate with the fare machine, and eventually the bus driver took it and made it work. The Right-hand Rule Lady was on board, whom I haven’t seen in forever. It’s been so long that you might … Read more
~Thursday~ I assumed Xolani and I were catching the 7:15 bus this morning, but when the kitchen clock read 7:18 and I heard the shower in the upstairs guest bathroom just turning on, I realized that wasn’t the case. I jotted him a short note, and I caught the 7:15 bus, since I was up … Read more
~Tuesday~ I had a two-bus ride to work this morning, as I had a 9:00-10:30 meeting in a building I don’t work in. The first leg was the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus, upon which a girl boarding after me walked by sporting an old-fashioned, metal, 101 Dalmatians, lunch box. Following closely behind her was … Read more
~Saturday~ In spite of eight hours of sleep, I was up early since I got to bed so early. Yay. I got to the gym early in the afternoon, where I did an hour of cardio on the elliptical machine, for an 1119-calorie burn. The first This American Life podcast I put on my iTouch … Read more
~Friday~ There were no regulars on the city bus this morning, but there were more people than usual, so I sat further toward the back than I usually do. A lady in the first seat, a center-facing seat, so she essentially was facing the driver and speaking to her on and off. She wore a … Read more
