~Friday~ I was up and logged in to work at 5:30 this morning, and I’d sent three e-mails by 6:00. At 7:30, I ran out to my doctor’s office to have some lab work done. When I walked into the bathroom where I was to “produce a sample,” my first thought was, “There really needs … Read more
~Sunday~ Before checking out, I checked my e-mail and Facebook. I saw on Facebook where my friend Kathleen had been to see Tosca, and we had this “conversation” about it, which resulted in an affirmation: This morning, I put on my: and in the elevator of the downtown Asheville Marriott Renaissance Hotel on the way … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up and at ’em at 7:00 this morning, and by 7:40 I was on the road to Durham to pick up Robert. We stopped at Biscuitville, where we nabbed three sausage biscuits and a cup of coffee, before heading out of town to Asheville. We arrived there between 11:30 and noon, and … Read more
~Sunday~ After a SSS and packing for my imminent check-out, I met Anna over at Wasatch Bagels Cafe, where for breakfast I had a 9-grain bagel with egg and cheese on it, along with a cup of coffee. Back at the hotel, I checked out, and Anna drove me to the airport early for my … Read more

To that end, once … Read more
~Monday~ We were up at 9:00, and down to see our girl Shirl by about 10:00. Once again, she followed behind us cleaning and straightening up. At one point, I went back for something, and she was bent over near me—with her buttocks too close to my face for my comfort—as I reached for a … Read more
~Saturday~ Robert arrived precisely at 9:00, and we got on the road to Nags Head, taking 64E across the state. It was quite a pleasant ride, and we arrived in almost exactly three hours. Not bad at all. We stopped at the Nags Head Inn to check in: where we encountered Miss Puss, who stoically … Read more

Her oldest sister (Rita), and her oldest brother (Raymond) died many years ago; however, she’s lost three of her other four siblings in 2010: February 4, 2010, her baby sister. Annette L.

~Sunday~ I woke up at 10:00 and called the front desk to request a late checkout of noon instead of 11:00. No problem. I rode out to Donna and Rob’s for brunch, where the Gregory’s still were, anticipating their 3:00-3:30 departure to the airport for a 4:45 flight. Russ, Pam, and Jan went for a … Read more
~Friday~ I took a “mental health day” from work today and slept in. At about noon, I decided to drive to Charlotte today instead of waiting to go up tomorrow morning. I checked the hotel online at which I had a reservation for Saturday and was easily able to add tonight to it. I had … Read more
