A bus ride in the dark, existential sunrise thoughts, disappearing idling cars, a workout, & dancing

~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

No more precincts, a Yeti clam, an open peoplehole, snipped hair, and the importance of hyphens…

~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

Implicit affirmations, eating weenies with men, a personal space invader, and hours of minutes…

~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

Waning vacation days, a mistaken identity caller, coffee w/Patrick, and dancing…

~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

New Year’s Day, poetry rips someone a new one, an exciting Scrabble game, and a short night out…

~Friday, New Year’s Day~ Image Courtesy: 123Greetings.com Robert and I got up around 10:00 this morning, and the new year started off with an ornery coffee pot that worked my last nerve on the first day of the year. After an amount of futzing with it, the 10-cup amount of ingredients I put into the … Read more

New Year’s Eve… another complete calendar year of not missing a day of blogging…

~Thursday, New Year’s Eve~  This is my 365th entry this year. Another full calendar year of not missing a day of blogging. Yay, me. I was up at 9:00, which is fairly early for me on a vacation day, and after a sesame bagel with honey walnut cream cheese and some coffee, I put in … Read more

Sleeping in, fatted calves of a prodigal son, published but not available, and To-Haven’ts…

~Tuesday~  I slept in this morning. Glorious vacation. I made my way back to the gym this afternoon—The prodigal son returns to Planet Fitness, if you will. Fortunately for me, there was a Bring-Your-Own-Fatt(en)ed-Calves party going on there today, so I fit right in. During my workout, which consisted of 60 minutes on the treadmill … Read more

Traveling home from Virginia Beach, a short engaging animated film, and some karaoke…

~Monday~  Last night before going to bed, I called the front desk for a late check-out, and they gave us until 1:00PM. However, we were up and at ’em before 10:00, in fact in time to get downstairs before 10:00 and enjoy some complimentary breakfast. We were checked out and on the road home by … Read more

Christmas in Greenville, a grueling ride home, a nap, some Scrabble, and blogging…

~Friday, Christmas Day~ Happy Holidays, dear readers! Thanks for dropping in during the year. I appreciate you! I headed out to Greenville at just after 9:00. Robert had to work today, so I traveled solo in overcast weather, but in light traffic. There were a couple of cops on the road, with at least one … Read more
