A listy day, looks busy when you write it that way, feeling powerless AGAIN, and a productive day…

~Sunday~  Since I didn’t get to bed until 4:00 in the morning, I had hoped to get eight hours sleep in. However, I woke up at a little after 10:00 and after two attempts to fall back asleep didn’t work, I accepted the inevitable and got up. One of my LJ friends, e-musings, often posts … Read more

Not bored at a board meeting, looking at men’s shorts, a collage of friends, and a late night out…

~Saturday~  Not surprisingly I was up early due to falling asleep just after 10:00 last night. It was nice not to be rushed before heading out to Durham for our July Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors meeting. I stopped at the grocery store by my house, where I picked up a dozen Krispy Kreme … Read more

Perfectly 69, banana pudding to die for, smelling the roses, average bills, and airline up-sells…

~Tuesday~  I had a good eating week this week, and I appreciated that my scale agreed with me on that this morning. Progress. Since I’d made my breakfast and lunch sandwiches last night, and my coffee pot was set to automatically start brewing my coffee at 8:00, I was essentially ready to go when I … Read more

A barely interesting tax refund, a juxtaposition of blessings and faggots, & catching up with Joe…

~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

A refreshment board meeting, a Geer Garden lunch, an hour of minutes, and the Rapture denied…

~Saturday~  I was up at 9:00, and I prepared sausage “biscuits” for our 10:30 board meeting. That means that I microwaved 15 sausage patties and sliced 15 rolls on which to place them. + I actually arrived in Durham at the Manbites Dog Theater with 15 minutes to spare before the meeting, instead of rushing in … Read more

2 degrees of separation from Scotty McCreery, trash penance, Bossypants brilliance, and MBD work…

~Thursday~  I forgot to mention this yesterday: My weekly visitor (sounds like I’m on the rag, only a little too often, doesn’t it) was in the office yesterday, through whom I found out there are only two degrees of separation between me and Scotty McCreery! My part-time officemate fishes with Scotty’s dad! When I stepped … Read more

A board meeting, a chicken sausage sandwich, Ben joins the club, tea leaves read, & cocktails had…

~Saturday~  I was in Durham by 10:30 for our March Manbites Dog Theater Board of Directors meeting, which went well, and finished a little early, as Jeff had to leave early for a tech rehearsal of an upcoming show at Duke. Robert joined me afterwards, in the beautiful weather, and we ate at King’s Sandwich … Read more

Class(less), jalapeños and cheddar, Harry Baals, dancing, and a run of sell outs…

~Wednesday~  Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Another day of class, and I did what I could to check in, mentally, now and then in some bizarre attempt to appear interested when I clearly was not. I don’t think I fooled anyone, at all, not even for a minute. During the two episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race that … Read more

A productive board meeting, a relational lunch, The Social Network, and drinking already in progress

~Saturday~  I stopped by Food Lion on the way to Durham and used today’s Krispy Kreme Challenge as an excuse to bring a dozen of their plain, glazed donuts to our Manbites Dog Theater board meeting. I arrived at Manbites right at noon to an appropriate amount of thanks and affirmations, both for the donuts … Read more

What “saggy pants” is thinking, “Nightwork”: an absolute HOOT, and a short Black History Month…

~Thursday~ I was back on the city bus this morning, arriving at the bus stop at 8:17, and the bus arriving at 8:22, once again hitting its mode. For the first time I can ever remember all five people who were already seated were all at a window seat, leaving the aisle seat open in … Read more
