A hairy run, a meds drop-off, hateful overeating, a let-go bartender, and Jackasses…

~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

Deaths by tornado, transfers (in deed), wasted calories, and Crisco Disco hanky codes…

~Saturday~  I slept in this morning. Oh glorious weekend. Today was all about the weather, as tornadoes whipped through the city, and I feel fortunate to have gotten through unscathed, as I live only 3 miles from downtown, where there was extensive damage in areas, including people being killed. I couldn’t help but be reminded … Read more

Rewarding behavior you don’t want to encourage, an impressive student, and cheap decadence…

~Wednesday~  I was at the city bus stop at 8:18. Shortly after that Exercising Asian Man walked down the entrance to our townhouse, but instead of coming to our stop, he turned left and jogged down to the one further down the street. The bus arrived at 8:24. Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, … Read more

An up non sequitur, a creepy backseat theater man, The Virginia Gentlemen, & a late night workout…

~Monday~  I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, and a guy with nice legs sat to my left doing a crossword puzzle on his iTouch. At a subsequent stop, a student on crutches got on and an Asian guy gave up one of the handicap seats for him, which reminded me of this sign … Read more

Taxes taken care of, 10 years of paperwork sorted and filed, and an over-served night out…

~Saturday~  I filed my federal taxes electronically this morning. This is the first time I’ve ever filed electronically, as it’s the first time I’ve been able to do it for “free.” Well, with the cost of the H&R Block software, you’re allowed five “free” submissions. As I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned here before, I am … Read more

Rolls in the morning, intellectual debate all day, and a sh*t-ton of exercise at night…

~Wednesday~  Before parking for the bus on Gorman, I ran into the Food Lion and bought a bag of King’s Hawaiian Sandwich Rolls and used one of them to make my breakfast sandwich and another to make my lunch sandwich later in the day. I initiated what turned out to be a fun, fun, fun … Read more

A Sunday secret, a cover-up FAIL, a taxing day, an ASB celebration, & drinks out…

~Sunday~  I was up at about 8:30, put on a pot of coffee, and made two sausage-egg-and-cheese sandwiches for breakfast for us. I liked this PostSecret because it’s a reminder that always being responsible (which I have been most of my life) is not necessarily the best thing: Shortly after Robert left to head back … Read more

A mental health day, a new workout, a “too soon” April Fool’s joke, & hanging out at the library…

~Friday~  I took a mental health day off work today and gloriously slept in until almost noon. I carried my ass to the gym (How Southern!) at 1:00, where I did 200 ab crunches and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine, changing from my long-time exercise option of “Hill” to the one that said, “Cardio.” … Read more

Much ado about a cell phone, sleepy bus drivers, lunch w/Susan, and an annoying dance night…

~Wednesday~  I was up at 6AM and down to the city bus stop at 6:45. When the bus hadn’t come by 6:54, I drove over to the Avent Ferry Food Lion Park & Ride (AFFLP&R), and when I arrived there found my cell phone missing. Thinking I must have dropped it inside my house when … Read more

Return of the NEMATOMOBILE, a D-I-Y car repair, prisoner work, exercising, coffee, & scareyoke…

~Monday~ I worked from home this morning, and at lunch time I headed over to Thompson Collision Repair to pick up my car. My first stop was at Enterprise to turn in my rental, and from where I received a ride to Thompson by a man who had a chauffeur look to him and was … Read more
