~Friday~ I dragged my butt out of bed at 6:00AM, stumbled to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of ambition, and only then realized that I was not Dolly Parton. By 9:00, I had several of my work tasks done, as well as a load of laundry. The joys of working at home. I met … Read more
~Wednesday~ I checked the online GPS location of the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, and although it was doubtful I would make it to the stop in time, I tried anyway. As I was parking, the bus pulled up about 200 feet away. I walked to the nearest city bus stop, which was pretty close … Read more
~Tuesday~ Since I was up on the early side this morning, I decided to drive to work, and I got the penultimate free parking spot down by the Raleigh Little Theater. Sweet. And since I don’t have a buscapde to share, I’ll share a link to this very short article from The Onion sent to … Read more
~Friday~ I hit the snooze button one too many times this morning, which eventually precluded my making it to the bus stop in time for the 8:15 city bus. I used ncsu.transloc.com to time my arrival at the Wolfline #9 Greek Village Gorman and Kaplan stop to pretty much just step onto the bus—not without … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was quasi organized this morning, so I only had to add the four heaping teaspoons of coffee into the coffee maker, which was already primed with a filter and water. I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:14, where within view there were three areas of the sidewalk “under construction.” I’m not … Read more
~Monday~ “Wow!” I thought walking to the bus stop, “This is the first time in I don’t know how long that both of my knees are pain-free.” I then went into a great, dramatic false memory of walking down an aisle and up to an altar, and having my forehead palm-slapped while a perspiring preacher … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in again this morning, and my first glance at this week’s PostSecrets startled me as I didn’t read the title and since they were all about fathers, I panicked, “I thought Father’s Day was next Sunday!” It may be shallow, but it’s honest. Of this week’s collection, this one resonated the most … Read more
~Sunday~ I liked this particular postcard from this week’s PostSecret collection as much for what it said as for what was written in response to it. My brother recently married a stripper. Although she’s functionally illiterate, probably severely psychologically damaged, and holds a very different set of values from the rest of our family… she’s become … Read more
~Friday~ I was up on time this morning, and I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus on Gorman up by Avent Ferry Road. I didn’t take any “buscapade” notes about this morning’s ride, so it was either totally unremarkable, or I was distracted reading Facebook updates on my phone, or possibly sleeping, on the … Read more
~Friday~ I read a little bit of Bossypants on the Kindle at the boss stop, and yes, laughed out loud a couple of times like a loony bin. For some weird reason, whenever I picture the author saying these funny things, it occurs to me right after it that I’ve pictured Paula Poundstone as opposed … Read more
