Processing
I was up late last night, I worked on a stand up bathroom shelf organizer with drawers till about 1:30 in the morning. It was Ikea still put together job. The instructions weren’t even in different languages; there were just pictures. That was about two hours of my life I’ll never get back. I will…

Another Big Hit
I had yesterday’s post mostly written and then lost it. The perils of using my MacBook to write and then using my iPhone to take notes on the same document. I started retyping last night but gave up. Not much happened anyway, Tank did have a meet and greet with the dog sitter. She is…

The Hospital Waiting Game
I was up early this morning, too early. Plus with the time change, I’m not sure I got four hours of sleep. Tank and I went for a stroll this morning down the side road next to our apartment. There aren’t any sidewalks but a large swath of grass, and I don’t think we even…

From One End of Texas to the Other and Back
Friday night I slept well in Alpine, I usually catch up on sleep there. Even having a car up there, I don’t go and do much, I just sleep. That’s precisely what I did this trip. I called to check on Amanda when I was up. She was doing good and not much was going…

Transfer Pending
As I left to head home, surprisingly, I remembered everything I needed for work. I was worried it’d leave my grip, what railroaders call their luggage, but I remembered it. I forgot my work jeans, though, but I’m thankful I had a pair at home. They were waiting to go to the cleaners, so I…

Abandoning Amanda
I can’t hit the transit just right, I waited a bit for the train last night. I should just quit being lazy and walk the 10 minutes to the transit center. Waiting on a train is the story of my life anyway, why add more of it now! When I returned to the apartment, I…

Hospital/Apartment Days
As I left the hospital last night, I’d planned to catch the train to the transit center. I heard it pull up when I was about halfway to the stop. If it weren’t for the cables in the middle of the road, I could have just hopped on the platform and made it. The following…

Planning and Installing
As I left last night to catch my bus, I was afraid to wait for the one close by with its late night schedule of every 30 minutes. So I walked the TMC transit center, a 10 minute walk according to Apple Maps, but my long legs shaved two off of that. Still eight minutes…

On Hold
This morning I set my alarm 30 minutes later than I thought I did, so I had no time to spare. I got ready and checked the bus text line, it showed a bus would be there six minutes past the hour. I could make it so I took off. I checked halfway there, it…

City Boy
Sunday, after I woke, I went to the door to get some packages. City living comes with 4-8 am next day Amazon deliveries. When I stepped outside, my phone dinged, it was Amanda texting that she was going to bed from the night before. No wonder she was tired when I called her the night…
