Deaths by tornado, transfers (in deed), wasted calories, and Crisco Disco hanky codes…

~Saturday~  I slept in this morning. Oh glorious weekend. Today was all about the weather, as tornadoes whipped through the city, and I feel fortunate to have gotten through unscathed, as I live only 3 miles from downtown, where there was extensive damage in areas, including people being killed. I couldn’t help but be reminded … Read more

An up non sequitur, a creepy backseat theater man, The Virginia Gentlemen, & a late night workout…

~Monday~  I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, and a guy with nice legs sat to my left doing a crossword puzzle on his iTouch. At a subsequent stop, a student on crutches got on and an Asian guy gave up one of the handicap seats for him, which reminded me of this sign … Read more

Taxes taken care of, 10 years of paperwork sorted and filed, and an over-served night out…

~Saturday~  I filed my federal taxes electronically this morning. This is the first time I’ve ever filed electronically, as it’s the first time I’ve been able to do it for “free.” Well, with the cost of the H&R Block software, you’re allowed five “free” submissions. As I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned here before, I am … Read more

A Sunday secret, a cover-up FAIL, a taxing day, an ASB celebration, & drinks out…

~Sunday~  I was up at about 8:30, put on a pot of coffee, and made two sausage-egg-and-cheese sandwiches for breakfast for us. I liked this PostSecret because it’s a reminder that always being responsible (which I have been most of my life) is not necessarily the best thing: Shortly after Robert left to head back … Read more

A mental health day, a new workout, a “too soon” April Fool’s joke, & hanging out at the library…

~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

Return of the NEMATOMOBILE, a D-I-Y car repair, prisoner work, exercising, coffee, & scareyoke…

~Monday~ I worked from home this morning, and at lunch time I headed over to Thompson Collision Repair to pick up my car. My first stop was at Enterprise to turn in my rental, and from where I received a ride to Thompson by a man who had a chauffeur look to him and was … Read more

A mess of a secret, a surprise Salon XX, and questionable entertainment…

~Sunday~  I slept until almost noon. Go me. I found three, count ’em three, PostSecret postcards compelling out of this week’s collection, all for very different reasons: For Three Misspellings and Atrocious Sentence Structure All in a 30-Word Postcard Because it Made Me Think of Something that I’m Having Trouble Articulating Here, so I’m Just … Read more

A fallen wall, a bus driver with a short little span of attention, a new morale low, & a workout…

~Friday~  As I walked down the short paved entrance into my townhouse area, I looked long and hard at this retaining wall to see if it had: 1) naturally eroded, 2) been vandalized, or 3) been hit by a vehicle. But in the end, I couldn’t draw any definite conclusion. Can you? I was at … Read more

A compelling PostSecret, hot coffee and a hot daddy, a workout, and some scareyoke…

~Sunday~  I slept in this morning, and started my day off with a look at this week’s PostScrets. I found this one to be the most compelling of this week’s collection: I spent a good portion of the afternoon at Cup a Joe Mission Valley, where I spent a good portion of the time there … Read more

The elderly stand, the driver learns (or doesn’t), cavorting with a reader, and three days ahead…

~Monday~  I did about 30 minutes worth of work before leaving the house this morning, as I wanted to get something to my boss before a 9:00 meeting she was going to, and I wanted her to receive it with time for her to synthesize it with her own thoughts on the subject. To that … Read more
