~Sunday~ I treated myself to a full eight hours of sleep last night. Once up, I tweeted this: I’m looking forward to a “day off” today. Gonna catch up my blog, get to the gym, and maybe cook myself some filet mignon for dinner. #nice I did get to all three today, although not in that … Read more
~Sunday~ I had the most elaborate and exhausting dreams overnight—the kind I was so glad were just dreams once I woke up. I thought, “Thank goodness that wasn’t real and I can just forget all of it.” Now that I’ve written that, I’m wondering if you can even have “exhausting dreams.” I mean can exhausting … Read more
~Thursday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in again this morning. Students. Lots of them. Nuts to butts. We had our monthly area meeting to which our CIO was invited. Surprisingly, there was no lull in the Q&As. In fact, it took up a whole hour of the 1.5-hour meeting. We canceled our weekly 1.5-hour working … Read more
~Tuesday~ Shortly after I arrived at the bus stop this morning, I heard what sounded and somewhat looked like a bus pull up to the intersection before my stop. I say “somewhat” looked like a bus, because from what I could see of it from that intersection, which was essentially only the front half of … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the Wolfline bus in today as I was running a little behind and it was raining. That bus stops closer to my building than the city bus. It’s nice to have options. Today was my first day back after vacation, and I spent most of the morning going through e-mails and some … Read more
~Monday~ It’s the “City of Raleigh–Try Transit Week,” for which today’s bus driver did nothing toward making it an experience that might make one say, “Yeah, this is great! I could do this—and enjoy it!” He floored the gas pedal before I made it anywhere close to a seat, which made me slide a little on … Read more
~Sunday~ We were up at 8:00 after eight hours of sleep. We went to the Farmers’ Market Restaurant for breakfast, where Robert had the French Toast and I had a Sausage and Cheddar Omelet. Robert treated, and I contributed the tip. Thanks, my sweet! Back home, we finished that second crossword puzzle we started last night, … Read more
~Monday~ I caught the “short bus” today, meaning I only traveled four stops instead of the fifteen or so I normally do to get to work. And that’s because I attended the first day of a DITA Conference, which was held at the McKimmon Center, which is very close to my house, which is one more “which”—make that two … Read more
~Friday~ Walking down the drive out of my townhouse, I saw a crawler on the ground. Because of its short length, I thought it was one thing, but when I got closer and saw how it was more flat than round, I thought it was another thing. My first thought was, “Is that a worm or … Read more
~Labor Day, Monday~ I made another one of those killer omelets this morning, adding some sliced ham to it, this time. Yummy! I wish I could make my omelets like this, but I can’t: Actually, I haven’t even tried doing all that flipping. Maybe I’ll try it next time. My biggest fear is that shit … Read more
