~Sunday~ I was up after eight hours of sleep and fixed a nice egg, sausage, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin, along with a pot of delicious Joe’s Coffee House Bourbon Pecan coffee. You know what’s coming next. It’s Sunday. I put on my country gospel CD, and read this week’s PostSecrets while enjoying … Read more
~Saturday~ I had a lazy, lazy Saturday. After sleeping seven hours, I got up, had breakfast, played a little Scrabble and worked on Friday’s blog entry. Starting at about 1:00, I read a good chunk of The Help, of which I’m coming down the home stretch now, and after which I fell asleep for another couple … Read more
~Wednesday~ Another non-rushed morning, hooray for that. I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16, but waited across the street from the stop in the sun. It arrived at 8:22. Who’s counting? The bus was pretty empty and for some unknown reason, I decided to count the number of people who got on at … Read more
~Sunday~ I hate, hate, hate that it’s the last day of vacation. Well, good morning to you, too. 🙂 I perused this week’s PostSecrets while enjoying my breakfast and coffee. Below is one of my favorite of this week’s entries, as it reminds me of what we do while we’re here as sentient beings—assign meaning … Read more
~Saturday, New Year’s Day~ I slept in again this morning. The precious few vacation days left are quickly dissipating. There were no New Year’s Day parades or football games on any of the TVs in my house today. Oh yeah, I don’t own any TVs. Just sayin’… The gym was only open from 10:00 – … Read more
~Friday, New Year’s Eve~ I slept in today. In the afternoon, I went to the gym, where I did some stretching exercises, 300 ab crunches, and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. Some soap opera, I think it might have been General Hospital, had a very, very, very dramatic (one could almost say melodramatic) episode … Read more
~Wednesday~ Oh glorious vacation day! Kevin and I both slept in this morning and actually ended up downstairs in the kitchen, literally, within a minute of each other at around 10:15. Coffee was soon had by each of us, along with a slice of toasted and buttered Bolos Levedos, a half a banana, and a … Read more
~Tuesday~ It was nice to wake up to electricity this morning. I had my alarm set for 10:00, but I woke up at 8:30 and in a rare occurrence I was unable to fall back asleep. I got up and got started on things that needed to be done before my house guest arrived, the … Read more
~Monday~ I woke up to a deafening quiet. The sound machine wasn’t running. The LED clock was completely out. What about that 9-volt battery in it for back-up? I had no idea what time it was until I turned on my phone to see 9:39, and I had no idea how long my power had … Read more
~Monday~ I worked from home today, which was a wonderful, welcomed change. I got a late start to running errands after work, beginning with a run to K-Mart to pick up my Nexium prescription. While there, I also checked for some picture frames—to no avail—for a couple of pictures I want to frame for Christmas … Read more
