~Friday~ I worked from Bruegger’s Bagels at Mission Valley this morning until leaving at about 10:30 for my 11:00 doctor’s appointment out at RTP. While I was waiting in the line, I looked around to see if my award was framed and hanging anywhere, but I didn’t see it. When it came time to pay, … Read more
~Monday~ I was ready to head out at 8:05, which is about 15 minutes too early for the city bus, so I checked to see where the Wolfline bus was. The GPS service indicated, “Route not in service.” Oh yes, it’s that week after summer session ends, but before fall session starts, so only three … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at the Gorman and Kaplan stop at 8:35, after waiting a mere 3 minutes—thanks to the wonders of GPS. I just mentioned the availability of “Zipcars” on campus now on the ride back from lunch with Libby on Tuesday, as we were discussing the pros and … Read more
~Monday~ “Wow!” I thought walking to the bus stop, “This is the first time in I don’t know how long that both of my knees are pain-free.” I then went into a great, dramatic false memory of walking down an aisle and up to an altar, and having my forehead palm-slapped while a perspiring preacher … Read more
~Tuesday~ I’ve had a decent week of dieting (yes, I’m dieting once again), and although I exceeded my target daily calorie count on Saturday and Sunday, I’d planned for that by being under three times during the week. Tuesday is generally my weigh-in day when I’m dieting, which is what’s prompting this musing in today’s … Read more
~Wednesday~ I woke up not feeling at all well this morning. I had sniffles (perhaps a “summer cold” coming on, as they like to say “down here”), and I had an upset stomach. I arrived at the bus stop at 7:19, which was starting to push it for the 7:15 bus, but it didn’t arrive … Read more
~Monday~ I actually drove into work today. The Wolfline service is in a “dead week”: the regular semester service has ended, but the summer service hasn’t yet begun. There are only three routes in service, none of which come near my house. While in the car, I heard a portion of a very compelling interview … Read more
~Friday~ I took a mental health day off work today and gloriously slept in until almost noon. I carried my ass to the gym (How Southern!) at 1:00, where I did 200 ab crunches and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine, changing from my long-time exercise option of “Hill” to the one that said, “Cardio.” … Read more
~Tuesday~ I made random good decisions today that started my day off on a good note. I chose to wear long pants (I’ve worn shorts for the past week), and it was cold out. I grabbed my umbrella at the last minute, and there were tiny rain drops on my windshield. And I pulled up … Read more
~Sunday~ I ran to the grocery store, and on the ride over, I noticed a few things wrong with my car that I didn’t notice last night: 1) The Toyota emblem is missing from the front grill of my car, 2) My sunroof no longer slides open, and 3) The spare tire well in the … Read more
