~Friday~ I had a lazy, lazy Friday, with only two things that I really wanted to get done today—one negotiable, the other not. The negotiable one, which I did get done, was to get out my huge plastic tub full of holiday stuff, and that was mostly to get me started sooner, rather than later, … Read more
~Wednesday~ I rolled out of bed at 8:30 and after putting on a pot of coffee, logged into work. I was an obedient employee, and logged off between 2:30 and 3:00. At around 3:00, I headed over to Great Clips for a $7.99 haircut, where LaToya cut my hair again, and finally didn’t say, “Have … Read more
~Monday~ I was running behind this morning, and arriving at the bus stop at 8:18, I couldn’t be sure if I hadn’t missed the 8:15 bus. At 8:29, I was just about to admit defeat, when the bus pulled up to the nearby intersection. There was a new driver behind the wheel, and he didn’t … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up fairly early for a Saturday, since I fell asleep so early last night. I woke up at 1:30 in the morning and had abdominal pains severe enough that, for a brief amount of time, I wondered if I was having some sort of “incident.” Perhaps too much greasy food at happy … Read more
~Friday~ I drove in to work this morning and parked in the Van Allen parking deck with one of the five daily parking permits I have left for 2010. I’ve mentioned here before that when you take public transportation to work at NC State, you get 12 parking permits each year to use as you … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus with Hello Outdoorsy Driver at the helm. Sitting in my vicinity was a white guy in a wheelchair, a black guy sleeping, and a black lady two seats in front of me with a serious updo. A little bit down the road, the wheelchair guy’s phone rang: “I’VE BEEN … Read more
~Saturday~ My alarm was set for 10:00 this morning, but I got up at 9:30. I had some leftover cooked Italian sausage and some mushrooms from my spaghetti dinner the other night, and along with some cheese, I made a most delicious omelet with them. I did two loads of laundry, one of sheets and … Read more
~Monday~ I got to the stop for the 7:45 bus at 7:49, which is really pushing it, but I knew I hadn’t missed the bus because there were two other people waiting there for it. They both boarded before me, and the second guy was a “piggy banker,” so once he emptied his pocket of … Read more
~Sunday~ We had a leisurely morning. Casey did some laundry and a little volunteer work for Distributed Proofreading, which is “an organization that provides a web-based method to ease the conversion of Public Domain books into e-books.” I worked on catching up a few days of my blog, with it taking an inordinate amount of … Read more
~Saturday~ When I got down to my kitchen, there was a sticky note on my thermostat from Casey that he’d just left to go for a run. This inspired me to run to the gym right after a quick breakfast. I did a 40-minute cardio workout on the elliptical machine, for a 711-calorie burn. There … Read more
