~Tuesday~ The university buses started running for the fall semester, and I rode over to the stop at Avent Ferry and Gorman, first running by Hardees to pick up a breakfast biscuit. At least two kids on the bus asked the driver where they needed to get off for the McKimmon center, which the bus … 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
~Thursday~ I got to the city stop at 8:16, and the bus arrived at 8:25. There were more students on the bus than usual, as the university buses are on a weird schedule this week; I think it might be between Summer Session I and Summer Session II now. There was a man on the … Read more
~Friday~ I caught the city bus for the first time in a while, arriving at the stop at 8:17 and boarding the bus at 8:25. Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, and the temperature on the bus was warm, but not excruciating. A guy who boarded at the Gorman and Conifer stop took way … Read more
~Wednesday~ I had a first-time appointment with a dermatologist who was recommended by my friend, Kevin (av8rdude). When I entered the building in which the practice resides, I was struck by a sign that reminded me of failblog.org‘s new feature called, “Oddly Specific,” which includes entries like: and I mean I’ve heard of pain clinics … Read more
~Friday~ I was counting on an 8:22 bus arrival this morning, since I got to the stop a little bit late.

~Thursday~ NC State University was on a weather delay today, starting at 10:00. I checked in with my boss at just after 9:00, which just made me nostalgic for “the good old days.” I was at the bus stop in time for the 9:45 bus, and although the CAT system website said that some buses … Read more
~Tuesday~ I woke up with a cough that felt like it sucked pure acid up through my esophagus, and a temperature of 99.7°, making me even more grateful to be able to work from home today. I was particularly pleased with my weigh-in this morning, especially with the overeating done this past long holiday weekend. … Read more
~Monday~ I had my alarm set to 7:00, which is when my doctor’s office opens, and I called to tell them I wouldn’t be making my 7:30 appointment to have lab work done, and rescheduled it for this coming Friday when I’ll be working from home. I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus in … Read more
~Saturday~ Since I was to bed by 10:00 last night, I started off my morning with the aroma of a cup of coffee wafting together with a little George Winston piano music, resulting in this tweet at around 7AM: At around 9:00, I left for my office armed with a bag containing a hammer, two … Read more
