~Monday~ I actually drove into work today. The Wolfline service is in a “dead week”: the regular semester service has ended, but the summer service hasn’t yet begun. There are only three routes in service, none of which come near my house. While in the car, I heard a portion of a very compelling interview … Read more
~Saturday~ Because I basically went to bed at 8:30 last night, I was up at 5:30 the morning. I spent some time writing, completing my Thursday blog entry. Today was OutRaleigh, which was described as: OutRaleigh is envisioned to celebrate Raleigh’s LGBT community, families, friends and supporters in a family-friendly atmosphere. The day-long festival will … Read more
~Friday~ I gloriously worked from home today, so no buscapades. It was so nice to be able to do a load of laundry “in the background,” while I worked, and to be able to finish up my deviled egg dish during lunch for this afternoon’s party. It was nice to have the accoutrement to do … Read more
~Thursday~ I was tired this morning. If I could’ve stayed in the bed, I most certainly would have. When I went to make my coffee, breakfast, and lunch to take to work, I realized I’d left my thermos at work yesterday, so that sucked. Since I’d bought some King’s Hawaiian rolls, I made two “sausage … Read more
~Wednesday~ I parked at the Avent Ferry Park & Ride this morning, and walking across the parking lot, I ran into my friend Jackie, student team leader of our 2010 ASB Gulf Coast trip. From our short conversation to the bus, I learned about what the Food Lion management considers to be “perimeter” parking there … Read more
~Tuesday~ I parked at the Avent Ferry Park & Ride in anticipation of heading downtown after work for the End-of-the-Semester SIGDOC gathering at Flying Saucer. There was only a handful of folks on the bus, and several of the kids on it were studying en route. It is exam week after all. In an unusual … Read more
~Monday~ The weather was beautiful again this morning, and it’s the type of weather that if I had to pick weather that I wouldn’t mind living in for the rest of my life, this would be it. I’m sure some of you would argue that I’d get tired of it—miss the seasons, perhaps—but I’m an … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in until about 10:30 this morning and then slipped comfortably into my Sunday morning routine. I actually had my usual “weekday breakfast sandwich” instead of making something different like a usually do on the weekend. Sitting down to eat my egg whites-turkey sausage-and cheese sandwich, I put on my country gospel CD, … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up and at ’em this morning at 6:30, and after a shower, I headed down to the historic Mordecai neighborhood, where my friend was having a yard sale as part of a group sale, along with a ton of other yard sales going on in that neighborhood. This may be the only … Read more
~Friday~ I enjoyed beautiful weather at the city bus stop this morning, arriving there at 8:13 and boarding the bus at 8:26. Hot Mess Driver was running late this morning, but at least she had the oven turned off. A lady sitting across from me was wearing what looked like a nurse’s smock, although it … Read more
