Fun time at the dentist (really!), price check on aisle 11, MBD BOD meeting minutes, & an office run

~Monday~  Sitting in the lobby of my dentist’s office, which it shares with what looks like another medical-type practice, it occurred to me that I’ve been coming here forever, and I have no idea what that business actually is. Once I was called back, I asked, “Can you tell how long I’ve been coming here?” … Read more

Treading water at work, a couple of meetings, a walk around the lake, and some TV…

~Thursday~  I was behind schedule this morning and really had every intention of getting into my car and riding over to the Avent Ferry Food Lion to catch the Wolfline. However, when I stepped out of my townhouse, it was 8:19, and rarely the bus come by 8:20, but more so by 8:25, so I said, … Read more

Cell Phone Lady, Paris, & Sci-Fi Fantasy Man, meetings, tweets, dinner, and reading…

~Tuesday~  I was on the bus a half-hour earlier this morning, so on the 7:45 instead of the 8:15. There was only one other person on when I got on and that was Sci-Fi Fantasy Man. A couple of stops later, Cell Phone Lady got on, but without being on the phone, and without getting … Read more

Grumpy Boy & Paris buscapade, lunch@Irregardless, and time with my sister…

~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

Flaunting their heterosexuality, coming out in middle school, socializing & dancing…

~Wednesday~  I woke up at 7:50, immediately disoriented because it was bright out already, but my alarm hadn’t gone off. Turns out it wasn’t set. (Love that “no blame” passive voice.) I can’t remember the last time, if ever, I’ve done that. I calmed myself, “Don’t go to the Alzheimer’s place. It’s an isolated incident.” Because … Read more

The Wire, stalking a mail truck, a thank-you**3 note, the library, some work, and dancing…

~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

Swine flu vomit, odds & ends, and dancing…

~Wednesday~ Back to the long bus today, and accompanied by Diarrhea-of-the-Mouth who not only talks incessantly, but loud, as I’m sure I’ve characterized her before. Here’s a part of her vomit stream today, and yes, I know that all caps is annoying and implies screaming, which is exactly why I’m employ it as a rhetorical … Read more

VolunteerWork, GettingPublishedWork, WorkWork, smelling the roses, and policing smoke…

~Sunday~  I had breakfast at the Farmers’ Market Restaurant enjoying their most delicious French Toast. I had it with link sausage and an egg over easy on the side. I know it’s redundant to have an egg with French Toast, since the batter on it is made with eggs, but I like it, and it’s … Read more

A worm or a snake, who moved my cheese, a workout, some laundry, and The Wire…

~Friday~  Walking down the drive out of my townhouse, I saw a crawler on the ground. Because of its short length, I thought it was one thing, but when I got closer and saw how it was more flat than round, I thought it was another thing. My first thought was, “Is that a worm or … Read more

A buscapade, an off-my-game presentation, an affirmation love-fest, a soirée and TPPN…

~Thursday~  I forgot to mention yesterday, that on the way home, on that 8:15 bus, the Waffle House Lady was on her way to work. I always see her in the morning on the way home from work. She looks happier in the morning going home. I’m just saying… Just now-christened Diarrhea-of-the-Mouth was on board … Read more
