~Thursday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:17. Checking Facebook status updates while waiting, I sent an email to myself with a link to an article called, “Why Some People Have All the Luck,” that my friend Rob Shook posted and commented about. The bus arrived at 8:20, with The Enforcer at the … Read more
~Tuesday~ I woke up at 4:30 this morning, and after not falling back asleep by 5:05, I got up and headed into work. I took advantage the early hour to drive in, as well as to bring in a 12-pack of soda and a bag of individual baked snacks to store in my office for … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 7:00 after twelve hours sleep. Glorious. Instead of my usual no-yolk hard-boiled egg—on a sandwich flat with two turkey sausage patties, and a slice of cheese—I actually fried an egg-over-hard and had that on said sandwich. It was pretty yummy. As soon as I get myself a pair of nylons, … Read more
~Friday~ Today I was grateful to have some flexibility in my work schedule that allowed me to run to Durham to take Robert to the airport for his late-morning flight. Safe travels, my sweet! I had lunch with the office gang: Vanessa, Jen, Justin Jason, Garrison, and Nick. We ate at [the most decadent] Red … Read more

~Monday~ I drove to work and got a parking spot near the Raleigh Rose Garden where you can park all day without paying. I sent an email to Pam who mentioned this weekend that one of my aunts had died last week, as I wanted to get her last name (she was long-divorced from my … 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
~Thursday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:15, and the bus arrived at 8:26. A ways into the ride, a lady started talking incredibly loud on her cell phone. I’m not quite sure of the thought process that makes one yell louder and louder on their end because they can’t hear the person … Read more
~Tuesday~ Since I was up on the early side this morning, I decided to drive to work, and I got the penultimate free parking spot down by the Raleigh Little Theater. Sweet. And since I don’t have a buscapde to share, I’ll share a link to this very short article from The Onion sent to … Read more
