~Wednesday~ Because I had to leave work at 4:00 today, I was up at 6:00 and into the office by 7:30, via a Wolfline bus from the Avent Ferry Park & Ride. A cute guy sat across from me intermittently drinking coffee from a large travel mug and listening to something that emanated from his … Read more
~Tuesday, Election Day~ I had my alarm set for 7:00, with the intention of running up the street to vote and being back to catch the 8:15 bus. I tossed and turned not wanting to get up, running through various scenarios of voting during lunch or after work. Since I didn’t feel like getting up, … Read more
~Thursday~ I woke up at 6:00, and in a rare situation I was unable to fall back asleep. Since I had to catch the 4:00 bus home this afternoon, I got up and caught the 6:45 city bus in, which is pretty much unheard of—as you know, if you’ve been reading for any amount of … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was back on the 8:15 bus today, which was driven by the usual driver, but with unusual hair. Not unusual in general, just unusual for her. It was teased out, and I liked it. A couple of stops into the route, a plus-sized lady boarded with a turquoise and lime green top on. … Read more
~Tuesday~ Above the bus stop, there are a bunch of pine trees, and not because it was raining, but because of the combination of the saturated pine needles and a slight breeze, raindrops kept falling on my head. Rest assured, however, my eyes weren’t turning red; crying’s not for me. Just sayin… This morning the … Read more
~Wednesday~ Another lazy vacation day. Yay. In the afternoon, I ventured out to make both a deposit and a withdrawal at the credit union. I deposited around $1200 and withdraw $140. The check I deposited was from Nathan, my financial advisor, and was the result of cashing out one of two Certificates of Deposit (CDs) … Read more
~Friday~ Though the rain was supposed to stop today and it was only slightly drizzling, I schlepped that big-assed golf umbrella to the bus stop again. Madonna & Genetically-Beautiful Daughter were getting ready to get off at the next stop, and little Sophia was holding a book that I so wanted to see the title … Read more
~Monday~ I worked from home today because I was sick, so no buscapades. In the category of “Times-When-‘Being-Frugal’-Might-Not-Be-the-Best-Thing-to-Be-but-You-‘Be’-It-Anyway,” today I took NyQuil that had an expiration date of September 2009, and which I thought was Dayquil until about an hour after I took it, and I sucked on cough drops (last night and today) with … Read more
~Sunday~ I forgot to mention a couple of things from last night: 1) There was a guy at Flex, who if he didn’t enter the “Low Budget” category of the costume contest, he should have. His body was heavily tattooed, and he was completely naked except that his junk was stuck into a hard plastic … Read more
~Saturday~ I left my house at about 11:15 and went to Durham to help Robert move his couch and desk to his new place. For two old guys, we got it done without too much trouble. For lunch, we drove by Elmo’s Diner to find it way too busy to wait, and decided on Jimmy … Read more
