~Friday~ I was grateful today to have both a job in which I can occasionally work from home and to have a management team that supports that. I had a whirlwind lunch hour running errands. My first stop was at the post office by my house, at which I wanted to mail two packages. The … Read more
~Thursday~ I was out of bread this morning, so I skipped my morning ritual of fixing a breakfast sandwich, which usually consists of a bagel thin, a turkey sausage patty, and hard-boiled egg whites. Nor did I brew my usual four cups of coffee to take to work in my thermos. Since, once I got … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus in to work this morning. Those of you who know me know that I am, if anything, the opposite of a fashionista or fashion connoisseur, but even I can tell that this is not a good look: Li’l Dino boarded, while on her phone, and she walked down … Read more
~Tuesday~ This morning, for 8:30 in the morning, well it was just plain hot already. Stagnant air. High humidity. Hot. The entire ten minutes I wilted waiting for the bus, I had one recurring thought, “Please let it be cool on the bus. Please let it be cool on the bus.” The bus pulled up … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 8:00 and had a quick breakfast and some coffee before getting on the road to Durham. I met Robert at The Streets at Southpoint, where I took my cooler and jumped into Robert’s sister’s pick-up truck. We drove to an “upscale home” not far from the mall, where we loaded … Read more
~Friday~ I ran behind this morning, so I drove up to the Wolfline stop, and I approached the Kaplan / Gorman intersection just as the Wolfline bus did, which is to say, I missed it. Checking the current whereabouts of the next one on my phone, I knew I had about ten minutes to wait, … Read more
~Saturday~ I had a lazy Saturday during the day at least. Around mid-afternoon, I made a grocery run that included purchasing a watermelon, which I later cubed up (and de-seeded even though it was a seedless watermelon) to take to Hugh’s party later in the afternoon. I spent a little time looking at an article … Read more
~Friday~ I waited on the opposite side of the street of the bus stop, since it’s starting to warm up in the morning, and it’s shady on that side of the street. I was caught up in Facebook on my BlackBerry when the bus appeared at the intersection, and I scooted across the street. At … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, and tracked its progress to my stop on my BlackBerry via this website. Shortly after I arrived at the Kaplan/Gorman stop to wait for the bus, a young lady wearing a backpack walked up to the stop and stood within hearing distance of … Read more
~Monday~ I got up at 10:00 and after a shower and some breakfast, I made a grocery store run for hot dogs, buns, and potato salad. Robert arrived between 12:00 and 12:30 and at about 1:45, we left for Joe’s Memorial Day cookout. We grazed on potato chips—Salt & Vinegar and Sharp Cheddar varieties—while Joe … Read more
