~Wednesday~ Due to the nasty, nasty weather this morning—some wind and torrential rain, I drove over to the Wofline bus stop on Gorman, where I can sit in my car across from the stop until I see the bus coming, and which drops me off much closer to my building than the city bus. For … Read more
~Tuesday~ The bus was running late this morning—almost five minutes past the time when it usually is the latest that it arrives. I put on my patience hat, which never has fit very well. Entering the bus, I was greeted by an ear-piercingly loud noise that continued the entire trip. I don’t know how the bus … Read more
~Sunday~ I got up at a little after 11:00, made my Scrabble move, and then put on a pot of coffee. After a few back-and-forth moves with Robert in the online Scrabble game, I toasted a Portuguese muffin, cut it in half lengthwise, fried two over-easy eggs, set one on each half of the muffin, … Read more
~Saturday~ I went back to sleep at 6:00 and got up at 11:30 amidst the most ridiculous, ridiculous dream. The Portuguese sweet bread known as massa is indeed all gone, but now I’ve thawed out the Bolos Levedos that I’d put in my freezer. These are Portuguese muffins, also a little bit on the sweet … Read more
~Wednesday~ First thing this morning, I called my doctor’s office to get an appointment to have another look at this cough. The inhaler therapy has been a total bust, doing nothing but instigating an asthma attack last Wednesday. I wanted to see Amy Hird, my regular doctor whom you know I love, but she wasn’t … Read more
~Sunday~ I am enjoying the massa I received at Thanksgiving from my parents (as a belated birthday present) and I only have a couple left so you can expect only two more reports about it as a breakfast roll. Today, I skipped the egg (since I had three of them in that breakfast combo I … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:30 and had a most delicious breakfast sandwich, consisting of turkey sausage, an over-easy egg, and a slice of American cheese melted on top—all on a Portuguese sweet roll. Heaven. I had just logged into Facebook to check out Robert’s Scrabble move, which he usually makes in the morning before … Read more
~Thursday, Thanksgiving Day~ I’d love to have the job of the person who gets to manipulate the art in Google’s logo for various occasions. Today’s was: See the archive of the logo art if you’re interested/curious. Robert arrived around 9:00 and shortly thereafter, we headed to Greenville. We checked in from Wilson to let Vivian … Read more
~Wednesday~ Since we’re being “sent home” (in a good, Thanksgiving, kind of way) today at 3:00, the Wolfline buses aren’t running, and the city bus wouldn’t depart until about 3:40, I decided to use one of my dozen or so free parking passes that you get as a sort of “thank you” for taking public … Read more
~Tuesday~ While I waited for the bus this morning, a college student walked by walking his dachshund, which had the most interesting coloring. It looked like this little guy, except all gray and black even on the paws. What made it even more interesting to me, and made me audibly chuckle actually, was that the … Read more
