~Monday~ I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:15, and the bus arrived at 8:22. Not to get all back into frequency distribution and statistics, but I think 8:22 is starting to be a significant number. In the game of mean, median, mode, and range, 8:22 is clearly emerging as the mode. Who cares? … Read more
~Saturday~ I had a lazy, lazy Saturday. After sleeping seven hours, I got up, had breakfast, played a little Scrabble and worked on Friday’s blog entry. Starting at about 1:00, I read a good chunk of The Help, of which I’m coming down the home stretch now, and after which I fell asleep for another couple … Read more
~Saturday, New Year’s Day~ I slept in again this morning. The precious few vacation days left are quickly dissipating. There were no New Year’s Day parades or football games on any of the TVs in my house today. Oh yeah, I don’t own any TVs. Just sayin’… The gym was only open from 10:00 – … Read more
~Friday, New Year’s Eve~ I slept in today. In the afternoon, I went to the gym, where I did some stretching exercises, 300 ab crunches, and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. Some soap opera, I think it might have been General Hospital, had a very, very, very dramatic (one could almost say melodramatic) episode … Read more
~Tuesday~ It was nice to wake up to electricity this morning. I had my alarm set for 10:00, but I woke up at 8:30 and in a rare occurrence I was unable to fall back asleep. I got up and got started on things that needed to be done before my house guest arrived, the … Read more
~Monday~ I woke up to a deafening quiet. The sound machine wasn’t running. The LED clock was completely out. What about that 9-volt battery in it for back-up? I had no idea what time it was until I turned on my phone to see 9:39, and I had no idea how long my power had … Read more
~Monday~ I worked from home today, which was a wonderful, welcomed change. I got a late start to running errands after work, beginning with a run to K-Mart to pick up my Nexium prescription. While there, I also checked for some picture frames—to no avail—for a couple of pictures I want to frame for Christmas … Read more
~Saturday~ At a little after 12:30, I met Jen at the Hillsborough Building where we work on NC State’s campus. We left her car there, and I drove us to The Diner in Glenwood South, to which Jen had never been, and where we had lunch and bookend cocktails. Hey, it was after noon. Jen … Read more
~Friday~ Finally a day in which I wasn’t running behind in the morning. I actually got out to the stop at 8:14 for the bus that doesn’t leave its originating stop about a mile away until 8:15. It might have had something to do with the fact that the university buses have stopped for winter … Read more
~Monday~ I was running late again this morning. On my short drive over to the Park and Ride, I passed a Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, but when I got to the park and ride, there was another #9 there and a #1. I parked along the side of the road instead of in the … Read more
