~Saturday~ I woke up at 10:59, and I was happy to turn off my alarm that I thought was going to screech at 11:00, but it was actually set for 11:30. A quiet—less harsh—start to the day at any rate. I stopped by K-Mart on my way to the gym to either get that discount … Read more
~Thursday~ Stagnant Driver drove up and I boarded her mobile jalapeño. Temporary Alice was on board again, and I wondered if she’s switched to some kind of overnight shift somewhere. And if she has, I wonder if she’s still a temporary employee. ‘Cause if she’s not, I should probably change her name to Overnight Alice. … Read more
~Wednesday~ I woke up with a start and looked at my still silent alarm clock, which read 8:05. Huh? It was set to 7:30, but I evidently never turned it on. Thank goodness I recently cut my hair, otherwise there is no way in hell I could have skipped the “shit, shower, and shave” before … Read more
~Saturday~ As briandrdu predicted several months ago when this same thing happened to another limb, “If that’s a Bradford Pear, it’ll happen again.” Sure enough; this is what it looked like yesterday: I went for a walk around Lake Johnson and when I left, a service was here to clean up the mess. When I … Read more
~Wednesday~ Stagnant Driver dragged her 8:15 bus up to my stop at 8:25. Watch. Now that I’ve named her, she’ll have the A/C on all the time. I haven’t mentioned that I’ve seen Madonna—of Madonna-and-Genetically-Beautiful-Daughter buscapade character name fame—a couple of times over the past week or two. Only one time was she with said … Read more
~Tuesday~ Hooray for today, as the university fall Wolfline schedule went into effect, which means four times more buses running about three times more often than over the summer. With that said, I didn’t take a Wolfline bus into work this morning. I was rushed, however, to get to the city bus stop by 8:15, … Read more
~Monday~ I took a sick day today, and slept until just after noon. I spent a lot of time in the bathroom today. ‘Nuff said. In the world of social media, two things of interest—one an affirmation: I have removed the “Interested in: Men” indicator in my Facebook profile, because when it’s checked, almost all … Read more
~Sunday~ A couple of weeks ago, I thought I was buying a bag of 3 Musketeers mini-bars, but they turned out to be Baby Ruths, of which I’m not all that fond. Thinking back, I can’t believe I didn’t even turn the bag over. I grabbed the bag, which was face-down, just assuming they were … Read more
~Wednesday~ You’ve heard of the fork in the road, but how about the: I stepped over that walking to my bus stop this morning. That driver was back, but mercifully, she actually had on the air-conditioning. The Kanki Guy (officially named now) got on at the McDonald’s stop at Western/Gorman, and I’ve officially deemed that … Read more
~Sunday~ I’d set my alarm for 11:00, but was up at 9. I made a most delicious turkey sausage and cheddar cheese omelet for breakfast, which I enjoyed with some whole wheat toast and coffee. In what’s as close to a Sunday morning ritual that I’ve been able to keep, I listened to a country … Read more
