~Saturday~ I woke up at three after eleven and the first thing I thought was, “Mrs. Chason’s funeral is starting right about now.” My thoughts are with you, my friend. My next thought was, “I have to run over and water Joe’s indoor plants some time today.” For breakfast, I made a cheese, onion, and … Read more
~Friday~ I drove to work this morning, where with no all-day free parking available, I took a two-hour spot and set my alarm for 10:35 to move my car. My work afternoon was much more productive than my morning, but hey, that’s all in a day’s work. A colleague and friend, David Ladrie, dropped by … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was running way behind this morning, so much so that I caught the #9 Wolfline at the Gorman and Kaplan stop at 8:40. When I arrived at the stop, a student was there waiting and seeing me look at my CrackBerry, she asked, “Is it close?” “Yes, it’s at the stop before this … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept way in this morning. Oh glorious weekend. I participated in my Sunday morning ritual of coffee, breakfast, country gospel music, and perusing the week’s PostSecrets. Aside: What’s the difference between a “ritual” and a “habit?” The difference is intention. I think this secret was the richest, purely in terms of the issues … Read more
~Saturday~ I slept in and enjoyed a leisurely morning. In the early afternoon, I got a wild hair and actually swept and mopped my kitchen and downstairs bathroom floors. And I enjoyed the clean smell of Pine Sol® all day. Robert arrived at about 3:00, and we went for a walk around the lake for … Read more
~Friday~ I had planned on driving to work again today, but since the city bus was due pretty much at the time I was ready, I went ahead and caught it in. The weather was a perfect 68° this morning. A lady to the left of me and up a row read a book that … Read more
~Thursday~ I drove to work this morning, because I only needed a two-hour parking spot, of which there are plenty around my building when the students are out for the summer. I got a big smile on my face when I got to the light at the Gorman and Kaplan intersection, where I saw a … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was ready for work with a lot of time before the next either city or university bus would arrive, so I decided to take a chance and drive to work. But when I got to the few spots relatively near my work that don’t have a two-hour limit to them, they were all … Read more
~Monday~ I was ready to leave the house well before the next city bus, so I checked TVS for the current location of the Wolfline bus, which was in a place that I could get to the nearest stop just in time to catch. At the stop, I made a note that that sign I … Read more
~Saturday~ I got up at around 10:30 this morning, and enjoyed a leisurely Saturday morning. I forgot to mention in yesterday’s entry about my stop by the grocery store to retrieve my credit card on the way downtown to Natty Greene’s. When I talked to them on the phone, they told me to just go … Read more
