~Thursday~ I drove over to Gorman and Avent Ferry and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at 8:03. Someone sitting next to me had the worst breath ever. They couldn’t possibly have brushed their teeth before they left home this morning. “Officer Thomas” stood next to me—an ROTC guy in his camouflage outfit with … Read more
~Friday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16, and I waited on the sunny side of the street (literally, not figuratively) until the bus arrived at 8:25. The Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, but it wasn’t outrageously hot on the bus—just rageously hot. Library Man was aboard, whom I haven’t seen … Read more
~Thursday~ I woke up at 7:00 to a dusting of snow, which had covered my car, but was not sticking to the road at all. Which was a good thing, as I had an 8:00 follow-up appointment with my dermatologist to check on the two things she did two weeks ago, and to do a … Read more
~Friday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus to the Student Health Services stop on Dan Allen Drive. A couple of stops later, two young ladies boarded and took seats next to me, and one of them smelled like she had marinated in Sweet Honesty perfume, if that’s still around. From the Student Health … Read more
~Thursday~ Today was trash and recycle day, and when I passed by my recycle bin, which I’d put out last night, someone had added some very healthy recyclables to it: a Honey Nut Cheerios® box, two tubs of low-fat yogurt, and something that contained Flaxseed, which I only know because it was written in big … Read more
~Tuesday~ I met my goal of getting more sleep and not rushing in the morning today. I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, and the bus arrived at 8:22. The driver was one of the steam heat drivers from earlier in the fall, but surprisingly, it was a rather comfortable temperature on the … Read more
~Monday~ I woke up tired this morning, which is what five hours of sleep serves up. I have got to make a concerted effort this year to get to bed earlier, and to give myself more time to get ready in the morning so that I’m not so rushed. That was the downside of my … Read more
~Friday, Christmas Eve~ I got up at 10:00 today, and after browning some sausage to make a dip for Robert, I used some of the extra portion to make myself a sausage and cheddar scramble. It was quite the yummy with some coffee—and a nice holiday breakfast treat, as I actually left the yolks in … Read more
~Wednesday~ I took a sick day from work today, and started off my morning with a piece of delicious homemade banana bread, which Sarah so graciously gave to me at Salon on Monday. Here’s a picture of, and comment about, it that I put on Facebook: Redundant or Complementary? Sarah asked on Facebook if that … Read more
~Tuesday~ Wash. Rinse. Repeat. I was running late yet again this morning. I really need to start setting my alarm ten minutes earlier in the morning. When I got to the Food Lion Park & Ride, there were two Wolfline buses waiting, the #1 Avent Ferry and the #9 Greek Village. I got on the … Read more
