~Friday~ Looking in my wallet this morning, I noticed that my credit card was missing. I checked two other places in the house that it could possibly be—to no avail. I quickly reviewed yesterday’s activity, remembering that the last time I used it was last night at the grocery store, and I made a mental … Read more
~Monday~ I drove to work and got a parking spot near the Raleigh Rose Garden where you can park all day without paying. I sent an email to Pam who mentioned this weekend that one of my aunts had died last week, as I wanted to get her last name (she was long-divorced from my … Read more
~Monday~ I finally opened a check today that I received in the mail last Thursday or Friday. I was surprised to find that it was my NC State tax refund. I had assumed it was another check that I get once a month, as its envelope resembled that one. So, it took the state of … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up at 7:00 and out at the city bus stop at 7:45. There was a man there with earbuds in, who did at least acknowledge me with a nod, if not with a response to my, “Good morning.” It was a little nipply out at 61°, and the bus was annoyingly late, … Read more
~Monday~ The weather was beautiful again this morning, and it’s the type of weather that if I had to pick weather that I wouldn’t mind living in for the rest of my life, this would be it. I’m sure some of you would argue that I’d get tired of it—miss the seasons, perhaps—but I’m an … Read more
~Tuesday~ I parked on Gorman street, and the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus arrived as soon as I crossed the street for the bus stop. That same older guy that I described at length yesterday—the one with the big fat wedding band on—was aboard today and had on another long-sleeved t-shirt, today’s being Old Navy … Read more
~Sunday~ I was up at about 11:00 and enjoyed this week’s PostSecrets over coffee, breakfast, and country gospel on the iPod. I didn’t find any particular secret overly compelling this week, but I suppose this one stands out, because I am always, always, always amazed when someone actually believes they can hide the fact that … Read more
~Friday~ I parked on Gorman and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus in. After taking my seat in the back, I looked around and saw someone that I thought was my friend Jackie, but I couldn’t be absolutely sure, as her face was turned toward the front of the bus, and she was behind some … Read more
~Monday~ I caught the Wolfline #1 Avent Ferry bus this morning and was pleased to get a seat. A young lady with enough luggage with her that it could have easily taken up the seat next to her—and in fact it later did when the seat became available—sat across from me. At one point, with … Read more
~Friday~ I took a mental health day off work today and gloriously slept in until almost noon. I carried my ass to the gym (How Southern!) at 1:00, where I did 200 ab crunches and 30 minutes on the elliptical machine, changing from my long-time exercise option of “Hill” to the one that said, “Cardio.” … Read more
