~Thursday, Christmas Eve~ I was up fairly early in spite of being off work today, as I pretty much dropped into the bed when I got home last night, so eight hours of sleep finished early. I rode out to Kohl’s with the specific intent of buying two or three pairs of shoes. It’s a … Read more
~Saturday~ I met my friend Hugh at Helios for some coffee, company, and to deliver my organization’s collection for Love Wins Ministry. As always, Hugh and I had great conversation, mostly about things that matter. We walked out together, and I transferred the goods to his car with him, and he was off to meet Jennifer, … Read more
~Friday~ I left my house at around 8:30 this morning by car, taking a run down to the newly renovated Avent Ferry Technology Center, into which part of my work organization has recently moved. There, I collected two boxes and a few bags of things that people who work in that building had donated to … Read more
~Monday~ Wrong Way Willie was driving this morning, but he took the correct route today. I suppose he may never live down the fact that he took a wrong turn one day. I certainly can’t see myself dropping it. I’m going to go ahead and rename a character here, and I’ll mention both of her … Read more
~Wednesday~ First thing this morning, I called my doctor’s office to get an appointment to have another look at this cough. The inhaler therapy has been a total bust, doing nothing but instigating an asthma attack last Wednesday. I wanted to see Amy Hird, my regular doctor whom you know I love, but she wasn’t … Read more
~Friday~ Joe came over for a late lunch, and I heated up all the leftovers from Vivian and Jeff’s Thanksgiving meal for a repeat, since Joe worked all day yesterday and didn’t have a “real” Thanksgiving dinner. Again, for identification purposes, starting at “12:00” and moving clockwise: chourico (Portuguese sausage), cranberry sauce, corn pudding, mashed … Read more
~Sunday~ I treated myself to a full eight hours of sleep last night. Once up, I tweeted this: I’m looking forward to a “day off” today. Gonna catch up my blog, get to the gym, and maybe cook myself some filet mignon for dinner. #nice I did get to all three today, although not in that … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the city bus a half hour earlier than the one I regularly catch. I took a seat behind a family of seven, which by far is the biggest family I’ve seen together on the bus to date. It consisted of four girls, one boy, and the parents. I watched the interaction between … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 8:30 and left my house at 9:30 to meet Jen and Anna at Neomonde in Morrisville to meet for two hours to come to consensus on our STC writing competition entries. Neomonde’s website said that they open at 9:00 on Sundays, but when I pulled up at about 10:02, the … Read more
~Friday~ Though the rain was supposed to stop today and it was only slightly drizzling, I schlepped that big-assed golf umbrella to the bus stop again. Madonna & Genetically-Beautiful Daughter were getting ready to get off at the next stop, and little Sophia was holding a book that I so wanted to see the title … Read more
