~Wednesday~ My wake-up call came at 6:00 only because my mom asked me to wake her up then. Personally, my alarm was set for 7:00. I went to our adjoining doors and called to her long enough to get a response and to be sure she was awake, and I lay back down. I never … Read more
~Monday~ There were no regulars on the bus, well Sci-Fi Fantasy Man was on, but way in the back and I didn’t see him until he got off the bus and walked up beside it before we pulled away. At the McKimmon Center, this quite big guy walked toward the bus (as it had stopped … Read more
~Saturday~ Today was quite the affirming day with regards to communications with my relatives, and by the end of it, I was able to articulate the final arrangements for my aunt’s funeral, which I’m posting here for posterity: There is going to be a mass on Wednesday, 02/10/10, starting at 10:00. Mom, Dad, and I … Read more
~Friday~ I was grateful for both a kind and caring management team and for being in a job where it’s possible to work remotely, as I really wasn’t feeling at all social today, and I had to make a few personal calls that I would rather not have made from the office, such as the … Read more
~Thursday~ There was a stranger at my bus stop this morning. It’s been months and months since anyone has gotten on the city bus with me in the morning, but as I came in view of the stop, there was one today. He had on an Old Navy pullover fleece-type shirt of which I have … Read more
~Friday, Christmas Day~ Happy Holidays, dear readers! Thanks for dropping in during the year. I appreciate you! I headed out to Greenville at just after 9:00. Robert had to work today, so I traveled solo in overcast weather, but in light traffic. There were a couple of cops on the road, with at least one … Read more
~Thursday, Thanksgiving Day~ I’d love to have the job of the person who gets to manipulate the art in Google’s logo for various occasions. Today’s was: See the archive of the logo art if you’re interested/curious. Robert arrived around 9:00 and shortly thereafter, we headed to Greenville. We checked in from Wilson to let Vivian … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 6:45, and with Robert’s arrival at just after 7:30, we headed to Greenville, NC, which is about an hour-and-a-half ride. We arrived at my sister and her husband’s place at just a little after 9:00, where we joined them and my parents for a few minutes before heading over to … Read more
~Thursday~ Our very little girl with the little yellow purse on the vertically extended arm got on the bus again this morning. She had on yellow socks to match her purse—and I find it hard to believe that I’ve not noticed these before if they’re not new: she had on large, gold, serpentine hoop earrings. And … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:00 after almost twelve hours sleep. Glorious. After an English muffin, a hard-boiled egg, and some coffee, I caught up Thursday’s and Friday’s blog entries. I watched The Wire: Season 1: Episode 9: Game Day. Intense. I meant to capture this note I got from the dean of CHASS after the … Read more
