~Thursday~ I got up at 7:30, showered, and packed, and headed over to the Jiffy Lube by my house on Western Boulevard, where I had them change my oil, since it’s been forever since I’ve had that done, and then I asked them to run diagnostics on my “Check Engine” light. The “Emission-Related Powertrain Diagnostic … Read more
~Tuesday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 this morning, on which students were in various states of being ready to leave their house, although it obviously hadn’t stopped them: One girl’s hair was still wet, one guy was tying his shoes, and another guy was unbuttoning the sleeves of his long-sleeve shirt and rolling them up. … Read more
~Monday~ I was at the the city bus stop at 8:17 this morning. I added two items to my Ta-Da to-do list, while I waited for the bus to arrive, which it did at 8:22. It was the perfect temperature out at 63°. There were two people on board when I boarded, and although it … Read more
~Sunday~ I woke up at 9:30 this morning, but hung out in my most comfortable bed, checking in online, including making about 10 moves in the 8 Scrabble games I’m in the midst of, and in which I hadn’t made a move in a longer period of time than I like to let pass without … Read more

In my phone, I … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:16 and while I waited for the bus I mad a list of a couple of other dates that I want to check on my Google calendar in addition to the one I thought of this morning while shaving: When did I last change my razor … Read more
~Saturday~ I woke up at three after eleven and the first thing I thought was, “Mrs. Chason’s funeral is starting right about now.” My thoughts are with you, my friend. My next thought was, “I have to run over and water Joe’s indoor plants some time today.” For breakfast, I made a cheese, onion, and … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at about 9:30, and I was welcomed to the kitchen by Pam and a pot of coffee already made. So sweet, especially since she doesn’t even drink coffee! I had some of the leftover omelet from yesterday, which was just as good—if not better—today, and then I packed my suitcase and … Read more
~Saturday~ I got up at about 10:00, and Pam had made a delicious omelet of eggs, tomatoes, and cheese, which I totally enjoyed with an English muffin and a banana. And cawfee, of course. At a little after noon, Pam, Tara, and I packed up and headed to the beach, which was perhaps five miles … Read more
~Friday~ I dragged my butt out of bed at 6:00AM, stumbled to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of ambition, and only then realized that I was not Dolly Parton. By 9:00, I had several of my work tasks done, as well as a load of laundry. The joys of working at home. I met … Read more
