~Tuesday~ I got up late this morning, at 8:30, because it was a “work from home” day. It was a work from home day, because our office belongings—including our computers—were being moved for us from the second floor to the basement as noted in yesterday’s entry. But as it turned out, it was an adverse … Read more
~Friday~ I was back on my 8:15 city bus schedule today, and it arrived at 8:22. In an unusual occurrence, eight people got on at the next stop, just down the street from mine. Usually 2 people, 3 at the most, get on at that stop, if anyone. A man sat across from me wearing … Read more
~Tuesday~ I met my goal of getting more sleep and not rushing in the morning today. I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, and the bus arrived at 8:22. The driver was one of the steam heat drivers from earlier in the fall, but surprisingly, it was a rather comfortable temperature on the … Read more
~Sunday~ I woke up to lots and lots of snow. The obligatory neighborhood snow pictures: My Back Deck The Nematomobile (My Car) (That’s it in the middle of the pic with just the edge of the front bumper exposed.) Townhouses Across the Way from Mine I’m glad there are people who find joy in all … Read more
~Thursday~ I drove in this morning and in spite of having one parking permit left for 2010, I parked in the free two-hour street parking right behind my building as opposed to the parking deck where the permit is valid, which is quite a walk from my building. That meant I had to move my … Read more
~Wednesday~ I took a sick day from work today, and started off my morning with a piece of delicious homemade banana bread, which Sarah so graciously gave to me at Salon on Monday. Here’s a picture of, and comment about, it that I put on Facebook: Redundant or Complementary? Sarah asked on Facebook if that … Read more
~Friday~ I drove into the office today, using one of those three remaining daily parking permits that are expiring on 12/31/10 to park in the Van Allen Deck. The suite in which my office resides was deserted when I got in, which is odd, because I’m usually one of the last people in. I took … Read more
~Monday~ I left my house at 8:14, was at the bus stop at 8:15, and the bus arrived at 8:20. That’s the kind of timing I like when it’s in the 30s in the morning. There were only three other people already on when I boarded, and I was kind of surprised when the bus … Read more
~Sunday~ I got in eight hours of sleep again, for which I’m grateful. Precious few holiday days left. Like zero. I kept putting it off, but at about 3:30, I finally went to the gym. Since food is such an integral part of my life, I’m going to describe today’s workout using a food metaphor. … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 8:30 this morning and settled in for my Sunday morning routine of coffee, breakfast, this week’s PostSecrets, and my country gospel CD queued up on my iPod. Somehow, I inadvertently put on something else, which may have been a shuffle of songs of the gospel genre or something, but whatever … Read more
