~Wednesday~ I was at the city bus stop at 8:16, and the bus arrived at 8:23. The usual 8:15, Hot Mess Driver herself, was at the helm. The temperature outside was beautiful, so having absolutely no air circulating on the bus wasn’t as bad as it might have been. A couple of students took the … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at 7:00 this morning, making this—unequivocally—the earliest I’ve been up without having to be somewhere both days of a weekend ever. I had a honey walnut cream cheese bagel for breakfast, along with a cup of coffee, while listening to my country gospel CD and reading this week’s PostSecrets. There wasn’t … 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
~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
~Thursday~ I parked at the Avent Ferry Park & Ride and caught the 8:00 Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus. You can tell it’s exam week at the university as a bunch of kids were studying on the bus, which reminded me that I need to check the university bus schedule to see when they switch … Read more
~Friday~ In a rare event, I awoke before my 7:30 alarm went off, and I actually went ahead and got up. I made coffee, breakfast and lunch, all “to go,” and I was at the bus stop a wasteful two minutes early, at 8:13. The weather was absolutely prefect this morning—cool enough to notice, but … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was totally not into going to work again today, which is a trend I don’t like. I’m going to make some adjustments to my personal calendar today to factor in a little me time. I don’t do the introvert thing often, but every once in a while it beckons me. I parked on … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was dragging ass this morning, and it took everything I had in me not to call in sick for the day. I put off getting out of bed so long that I didn’t have time to make breakfast, lunch, or even coffee to take to with me to work. I parked on Gorman, … Read more
