A brand new dentist’s office visit, uneventful bus rides, and a nappy night in…

~Monday~  I was up at 7:15 and to my dentist’s new office by 7:50 for my 8:00 appointment. I’d received no less than three reminders—one by phone, and two by U.S. mail—that this appointment would be at their new location. Entrance to New Office I’m pretty sure that 8:00 is their first appointment time slot, … Read more

70% Geek/30% Military, a ministry that “gets it,” and becoming a buscapade caricature of my own…

~Thursday~  Before leaving my house, I put put out my trash can and recycle bin for today’s imminent collections. It was hot and humid as f*ck out this morning, and I started sweating just standing still waiting for the bus. Ridamndiculous. I was on the 7:15 bus this morning to get to work early enough … Read more

Working from home, an errand-filled lunch, beach-bound, and a bar-bragger…

~Friday~  I was grateful today to have both a job in which I can occasionally work from home and to have a management team that supports that. I had a whirlwind lunch hour running errands. My first stop was at the post office by my house, at which I wanted to mail two packages. The … Read more

Hugh’s 38th birthday Jubilee, Eric’s going away party, and a depleted active self…

~Saturday~  I had a lazy Saturday during the day at least. Around mid-afternoon, I made a grocery run that included purchasing a watermelon, which I later cubed up (and de-seeded even though it was a seedless watermelon) to take to Hugh’s party later in the afternoon. I spent a little time looking at an article … Read more

Flaunting it, plane seat mates, hold the pepper, 2nd hand smoke, & karaoke in Ft. Myers…

~Thursday~  I usually fall asleep within five minutes (literally) of lying down at night. Last night, I lay for an hour-and-a-half before falling asleep. That’s just crazy. Needless to say 5:00 came early. I was out the door by 5:40 and pulled into Joe’s place ten minutes earlier than my expected 6:00 arrival. We left … Read more

What glam isn’t, a $411 payment, a racy “voice note,” an airport run, and a drag…

~Tuesday~  I was back on the 8:15 bus today, which was driven by the usual driver, but with unusual hair. Not unusual in general, just unusual for her. It was teased out, and I liked it. A couple of stops into the route, a plus-sized lady boarded with a turquoise and lime green top on. … Read more

A deteriorating muffin, fully-clothed “joggers,” seeing the forest, & a gleefully slippery slope…

~Monday~  I wanted to catch the 7:45 bus today and barely did, having only just a second to glance at that muffin continuing to deteriorate on top of that Southern Bell underground cable warning post. It wasn’t an ant-fest today, but as you can see, there was at least one still loitering about. At a … Read more

Tears of Glee, 2-for-1 birthday cards, mostly social at book club, and Victor/Victorias abound…

~Sunday~  I woke up to an incredible thunderstorm at 9:00 this morning. Unable to go back to sleep, even though I hadn’t had eight hours, I got up. I had big plans today, but they sputtered out as the day wore on and I didn’t move to see things through. In the early afternoon, somewhere … Read more

Manbites Dog’s board meeting, Geromy’s graduation reception, a hairuncut, & an aborted night out…

~Saturday~  I was up at 8:30, had breakfast, and did a little bit of work on the agenda for our Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors meeting, before showering and heading to Durham for it. We had a productive meeting, with a guest presentation by Aden, an accountant volunteer who’s done a ton of work … Read more
