Hoarding juice and other foodstuffs, clean and sober comets, Jude thank-yous, & an in-out night…

~Friday~  I caught the 7:45 city bus, and the weather was beautiful out. Since it was Driver Appreciation Day of Try Transit Week, I said, “Thank you for driving,” to the driver as I boarded. “Oh you’re welcome,” she replied. I wasn’t hot this morning and didn’t find it so on the bus, but as … Read more

A smothered bus fare machine, Stand (or Lean) On Me & a poignant retirement gathering for my boss…

~Thursday~  It was slightly rainy this morning, but I had my umbrella, although it was a little hard to manage with laptop bag, soft-sided briefcase, and two rolls of wrapping paper—which I forgot to take to work last night when Casey and I dropped by there with the other party stuff—in my hand.

Unmentionables mentioned, dinner w/Casey, a grocery run, non sequitur names, & hair that rules…
