~Tuesday~ This morning at 8:00 was my appointment with my new dermatologist. This is the doctor that my GP, whom by now you know I love, recommended to me back when I saw her in May. Yes, I finally got around to making an appointment with him. This is what I wrote about him in … Read more
~Monday~ The people sitting in the first few rows of the bus today could have posed in a picture for a diversity poster like this one: We had a couple of African-Americans (one male, one female), a couple of Caucasians (one gay male, one presumably straight female), an Asian-American lady, an Hispanic man, and a Native … Read more
~Sunday~ Once again we were up at 9:00. Robert was a dear and ventured to the lobby to wade through the mob and bring breakfast back to our room. Thanks, my sweet! We were on the road by about 10:40, and we had an uneventful ride home, which actually took less than two hours. Yay! … Read more
~Saturday~ We were up at 9:00 in time to have the hotel’s complimentary breakfast, which ended at 10:00. Robert scored a table for us, which was no easy feat, and I enjoyed a bagel with cream cheese, along with a hard-boiled egg, topping it off with a small banana-nut muffin and some coffee. Life is … Read more
~Friday~ A glorious vacation day from work for both of us. We were up at a little after 8:00, and on the road to the beach at just a couple of minutes after 10:00. We had an uneventful 2-hour drive to Wilmington, and just over the bridge into Wrightsville Beach, we pulled into the Causeway … Read more
~Thursday~ It has happened twice now in the past couple of weeks, so it’s time to make a serious mental note that these two morning tasks, described here with the rhetorical device known as an unordered list: Put coffee on Get thermos out of briefcase from yesterday to put it in really requires an ordered … Read more
~Wednesday~ The first thing I did this morning was take my temperature. It was 97.1. A de-fever, I guess. The next thing I did was… well, let’s just say that I’m “regular” again and leave it at that. This morning there was a man on the bus with dreadlocks (Yes, dreadlocks yet again!) and a … Read more
~Tuesday~ I woke up to some sort of stomach virus this morning, and I decided that I’d rather be in the bathroom every 10 minutes in the privacy of my own home than at work. I sent an e-mail to my boss asking if I could work from home today, saying if not, then I’d … Read more
~Monday~ There were four people on the bus, and by the time I got off, there were about 10. Before I got off I noticed that I was the only white person on the bus. Back when I started riding the bus in September, I would have had that thought much earlier on in the … Read more
~Sunday~ I fixed the most delicious—if I may say so myself (I just did, actually)—Western omelets for breakfast today. They were accompanied by two turkey sausage links each and a half of a bagel each. And coffee (of course!) made by Robert. I’m coming down the home stretch in terms of being ready for my … Read more
