~Sunday~ After eight hours of glorious sleep, I was up for my regular Sunday morning routine, which I articulated in a Facebook status update: “PostSecrets read. Country gospel on the iPod shuffle. And bourbon-pecan coffee in my cup. #MustBeSundayMorning.” I especially liked two secrets today, the first one because it’s clever, and the second one … Read more
~Friday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16, and I waited on the sunny side of the street (literally, not figuratively) until the bus arrived at 8:25. The Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, but it wasn’t outrageously hot on the bus—just rageously hot. Library Man was aboard, whom I haven’t seen … Read more
~Wednesday~ Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Another day of class, and I did what I could to check in, mentally, now and then in some bizarre attempt to appear interested when I clearly was not. I don’t think I fooled anyone, at all, not even for a minute. During the two episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race that … Read more
~Tuesday~ I drove over to Avent Ferry and Gorman to catch the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus down to the Mission Valley Shopping Center stop, which is across the street from the building I’ll be taking a training class in all day today and tomorrow. Fortunately, I left enough time to endure the unbelievable 20 … Read more
~Sunday~ Oh glorious sleepful morning. I arose at 11:30. Guess what I did this morning! Right. Coffee. Breakfast. Country Gospel Music. PostSecrets. A few secrets captured my imagination this morning: to which someone had mailed in a related secret: I think about all the things my glasses have seen whenever I get a new pair. … Read more
~Thursday~ I was back on the city bus this morning, arriving at the bus stop at 8:17, and the bus arriving at 8:22, once again hitting its mode. For the first time I can ever remember all five people who were already seated were all at a window seat, leaving the aisle seat open in … Read more
~Saturday~ I finally got my lazy ass back to the gym today, where I did only 200 ab crunches, since I haven’t done them in over a week, and so I’ll still be able to sit up tomorrow. I followed that up with 40 minutes of cardio on the elliptical machine. I didn’t see any … Read more
~Wednesday~ I had a first-time appointment with a dermatologist who was recommended by my friend, Kevin (av8rdude). When I entered the building in which the practice resides, I was struck by a sign that reminded me of failblog.org‘s new feature called, “Oddly Specific,” which includes entries like: and I mean I’ve heard of pain clinics … Read more
~Saturday~ I ran an errand up in North Raleigh today, closing on the errand I ran back on December 30th, but this time took Six Forks Road up north instead of Capital Boulevard, which as anticipated, was much better in terms of smooth traveling. Once again, I stopped at Honey Baked Ham on the way, … Read more
~Friday~ I was counting on an 8:22 bus arrival this morning, since I got to the stop a little bit late. I checked the temperature while waiting, and I was shocked to see 19° on my weather channel phone app, but I just couldn’t believe it was that cold, so I checked wral.com/weather, which said … Read more
