~Saturday~ When I got down to my kitchen, there was a sticky note on my thermostat from Casey that he’d just left to go for a run. This inspired me to run to the gym right after a quick breakfast. I did a 40-minute cardio workout on the elliptical machine, for a 711-calorie burn. There … Read more
~Wednesday~ I walked up to the bus stop at 8:19 and the bus arrived at 8:20. I love it when that happens. When I boarded there was a city bus newbie, who was asking the bus driver at which stop he should get off in order to catch a connector to somewhere. I walked around … Read more
~Tuesday~ For some reason—and that would be that lady’s endearment (“boo”) yesterday to the boy on the cellphone who had to run across the street to catch the bus—I was singing (and I use the term loosely) Nelly’s Dilemma to myself. As I was boarding the 7:45 city bus, a kid ran up to the … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at a decent hour, since I was to bed at a decent hour. Funny how that works. Robert arrived at shortly after noon, and we made our way over to the fairgrounds for The Greek Festival. I had free admission tickets, compliments of a (Greek) co-worker, who’s involved with the festival … Read more
~Friday~ I walked up to the bus stop and onto the bus. Get out of my dreams, get into my car. It was the 8:15 bus, and a chubby white guy was driving, but there was no air circulating and it was somewhere between bake and broil in that Jenn-Air oven. I checked out two … Read more
~Thursday~ A deputy sheriff was in the ‘hood this morning when I headed out to the bus stop. It stopped right in front of my house and I saw him walking with some papers in his hand toward the townhouse across from mine. You know I stretched my neck as far as it would stretch … Read more
~Wednesday~ I caught the 6:45 bus, which was so on time that I would have missed it if I’d’ve run back to my house to get my phone charger that I’d forgotten, like I’d thought about doing. When I got on, there were two other people already aboard at this god-awful hour, including an older … Read more
~Tuesday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus, and although Stagnant Driver wasn’t the driver, it was stagnant on the bus anyway. I just don’t understand. What’s so hard about sensing that even just a fan blowing to circulate the air on the bus would make it more comfortable? A guy who got on at Gorman … Read more
~Sunday~ My alarm was set for 11:15. I woke up at 11:30. Good thing it wasn’t a work day, as it turned out it was set for 11:15 PM. I hate it when that happens. I attended “Glee Club” at Jen’s house at 2:00, and we watched the first three episodes after the Sectionals episode: … Read more
~Labor Day Monday~ Oh glorious holiday! I slept in. Kevin (av8rdude) took my car to spend a few hours with some Raleigh friends of his, and I took advantage of the time at home to devise my Sunday blog entry; load dirty—and then unload clean—dishes from the dishwasher; and wash, dry, and fold a load … Read more
