~Friday~ I drove in to work again this morning, but instead of using a scratch-off parking pass, I parked in a two-hour zone near my building. At a little after 8:30, I saw an update from one of my cousin’s daughter that her “Pépère” had died. That’s the French word for grandfather—and what I called … Read more
~Thursday~ It was fortuitous that I just happened to have my phone in my hand walking down to my kitchen at about 7:50 this morning, as it started vibrating, and I otherwise probably wouldn’t have noticed that I had call until about 8:15, which would have been too late. It was my friend and colleague, … Read more
~Tuesday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at the corners of Gorman and Kaplan, and although the temperature was in the 70’s, the humidity was at 75%. Moist. I would describe the university bus this morning as fairly full, but not crowded. The Asian guy I’ve portrayed a couple of times, who usually … Read more
~Sunday~ I woke up at 10:00 and called the front desk to request a late checkout of noon instead of 11:00. No problem. I rode out to Donna and Rob’s for brunch, where the Gregory’s still were, anticipating their 3:00-3:30 departure to the airport for a 4:45 flight. Russ, Pam, and Jan went for a … Read more
~Friday~ I took a “mental health day” from work today and slept in. At about noon, I decided to drive to Charlotte today instead of waiting to go up tomorrow morning. I checked the hotel online at which I had a reservation for Saturday and was easily able to add tonight to it. I had … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus in, but only took it half the distance I usually take it, as I had a meeting in another building at 9:00—or so I thought. I got off the bus at the Gorman/Sullivan Streets intersection and walked the short way down the street to the Admin II building. … Read more
~Saturday~ I stayed close to home, well at home to be exact, until about 5:30 at which time my stomach felt settled enough to venture to the gym. I did cardio work, with 60 minutes on the elliptical machine for a 1070-calorie burn, during which I listened to the Recordings for Someone podcast episode of … Read more
~Friday~ In a repeat performance of Wednesday, Jen picked me up to ride into work together, as I was once again her back-up presenter / assistant at this morning’s Information Technology presentation to the students at New Student Orientation (NSO). And once again, we stopped in the office before walking over to the Cinema in … Read more
~Thursday~ I drove over to the Avent Ferry post office to mail two items—one birthday card and one thank-you card—before heading to work this morning. At the corner of Kaplan and Gorman, I caught the 8:04 Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, on which there were 7 riders in addition to myself when I boarded. At … Read more
~Wednesday~ Jen was right on time this morning, and we had enough time to stop in the office before walking over to Witherspoon for her 8:45 Information Technology (IT) presentation to the students at New Student Orientation. I actually advanced the slides for her, because the remote they had available didn’t work. I walked back … Read more
