~Sunday~ My alarm went off 6:00 and I snoozed until the 6:09 ring. I didn’t hear any movement in the hallway, which was surprising since Xolani and I had to leave at 6:30 to head downtown to the Clarion Hotel to meet Jesse and the others for their trip to DC. I knocked on Xolani’s door, … Read more
~Saturday~ I woke up at about 10:00 and got up at around 10:30. Xolani had started a load of his laundry and was out on the deck getting ready to start washing out a suitcase I gave him to take back with him, since his belongings seem to have multiplied while he was here. At … Read more
~Friday~ Xolani and I caught the 7:45 city bus in. Once at the bus stop, I realized I’d forgotten my work badge, which operates the elevator in our building as well as lets us in after hours, and I ran back up to my house to get it. When I was coming back, Xolani was … Read more
~Thursday~ Xolani and I were up and at ’em again today to catch the 7:45 #12 Method Road city bus all the way downtown, as that’s where he’s working and where I was attending day two of the WWW2010/FutureWeb2010 conference at the Raleigh Convention Center.

~Wednesday~ Xolani and I had a nice exchange as we walked out to the bus stop together, since we hadn’t seen each other since last Wednesday. He actually went to Greensboro this weekend while I was gone, and although I didn’t learn how he did, I was glad to hear that he’d gotten out of … Read more
~Sunday~ I got up at about 10:30 this morning, and Xolani was out on my deck ready to start on today’s work that I’d mentioned Friday that I’d like to do and put off yesterday. The first thing we did was to completely clear the deck of everything, which meant 4 side chairs, 2 lounge … Read more
~Saturday~ Xolani were up and at ’em in time to leave the house for a 9:00 walk around Lake Johnson. We started at the boathouse side this time, and we made excellent time, completing the three-mile walk in 45 minutes. I usually do it in 50 minutes. The weather was absolutely gorgeous today. After our … Read more
~Friday~ Xolani and I caught the 7:45 bus this morning after a brief exchange of notes in the night that confirmed our mutual departure time. A few minutes after taking my seat, the lady behind me made a phone call, “Sherell, could you pick me up at 9:15 instead of quarter ’til?” A man got … Read more
~Thursday~ I assumed Xolani and I were catching the 7:15 bus this morning, but when the kitchen clock read 7:18 and I heard the shower in the upstairs guest bathroom just turning on, I realized that wasn’t the case. I jotted him a short note, and I caught the 7:15 bus, since I was up … Read more
