~Monday~ It was 16° out this morning, and I waited for the bus with my long pants, a sweatshirt, my ski jacket, and gloves on. Fortunately, the wind was hardly blowing at all, so it was not as cold as it might have been with an additional wind chill factored in. Before I could swipe … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in this morning. Glorious Sunday. Right after breakfast, I did two loads of laundry. Facebook is really off base with these ridiculous ads that keep popping up down the right side of my screen while I’m logged in: I tweeted this about them: Hate to tell advertisers that those [obviously Photoshopped—to the … Read more
~Saturday~ I love starting my day off with a laugh, although it rarely happens as I’m not at all a morning person. Perhaps if I were more open to it, it would happen more often. My doorbell rang at 8:05 and when I opened the door, I found the guy here to do my quarterly … Read more
~Friday~ This morning, I took the bus seat in front of Sci-Fi Fantasy Man who was, well, reading science fiction fantasy, as that’s what he does. I was just happy to see him. In addition to the standard, long bus rear view mirror, on this bus there was a little round mirror as well—about a … Read more
~Thursday~ I was back to my regular schedule this morning, catching the 8:15 bus, and I still didn’t notice any of my named characters aboard. This is crazy! At the next stop, a lady got on whom I’ve talked about in the past, but whom I haven’t yet named. Until now. Cigarette Saver is usually … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the 6:45 city bus this morning, so not surprisingly none of my characters were on board. It was still dark out at that time, and it’s another cold day here, so most people had on lots of clothing. Two people, whom I think were both men (well, college boys), both got off … Read more
~Tuesday~ Again this morning, none of my peeps were present on the bus. I’m beginning to wonder if they all got cars for Christmas. I took a seat in front of a man who was eating his breakfast in his seat. I immediately thought of the recording that plays as the bus turns from Hillsborough … Read more
~Monday~ As soon as I turned off my white noise-generating sound machine at 7:40 this morning, I could hear the SUV parked in front of the townhouse across from mine running—presumably to “warm up.” This SUV is either a diesel or just a loud-idling vehicle, but I can always hear it in my bedroom or … Read more
~Sunday~ Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Slept in. Sesame seed bagel with honey walnut cream cheese. Yolkless hard-boiled egg. Coffee. What can I say? I’m and ESFJ, and I like routine. The good news is that that was the last bagel. Look for a change-up tomorrow. I’ve been meaning to capture this: Although I didn’t attend any … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 11:00 after a full eight hours sleep. Glorious—albeit too-quickly disappearing—vacation days. For breakfast, I had a bagel and a yolkless hard-boiled egg along with a sesame seed bagel with honey walnut cream cheese on it, and some coffee from a coffee pot that was on its best behavior this morning. … Read more
