On this day in past years:
2025
Tuesday: I did an analysis of the books I’ve read (including Mostly Social Book Club books) of the genre books about books.
2024
Monday: Vivian & Jeff visited after appointments with Nathan and an estate planning attorney, and the Fusion has been sluggish to start and the indicators (gas & temperature) keep resetting after the car has been turned off a bit, so I dropped it off at Brown’s Alignment & Auto Repair to have the battery checked.
2023
Saturday: We went to Christina & John Ramono’s “fry-out,” along with Wayne Wilson, David Stratton, and Christina & John’s friends Margaret & Brian Clement and Dana Deaton & Finley Lee, and it was a great time with deep-fried french fries, mushrooms, pumpkin pie bites, and Hostess Twinkies pieces.
2022
Friday: I met Shannon Schorey at the northwest Cary La Farm Bakery for lunch, and Clint brought (Claire Hakin’s and Pat Hayden’s) Tupperware orders over and Claire joined Clint, Matt, & Dillon for happy hour, which (after Claire left) ended up extending late into the evening culminating with Bob making breakfast for everyone and Dillon loading our dishwasher.
2021
Thursday: I took PTO for the morning for my PT session (8-9) and an Ameriprise financial planning meeting with Bob, and I presented my email editing analysis work at our Content team meeting, which was received with much appreciation and many affirmations.
2020
Wednesday: I ran to the Fayetteville Street post office to mail back an adapter that we accidentally took from Darren and Sandra Anderson’s cottage on Cape Cod that we rented for a month, and we received Anne and Dan’s notice that this year’s holiday “tween” gathering is being canceled due to the pandemic.
2019
Monday: The Open Studio area in the Red Hat Tower opened today, we moved our offices to the other end of the building, and Bob and I watched several season 2 episodes of Schitt’s Creek.
2018
Sunday: We had book club at Crossroads, and we discussed Logical Family: A memoir.
2017
Saturday: I took mom to bingo, stopped for Burger King chicken sandwiches on the way, and she just made a donation tonight, although she did win $200 on Wednesday.
2016
Friday: I was sick as a dog today, with what felt like the same stomach issues I had last Friday on the second day of our retreat, and I spent 3 hours (2 in the a.m., 1 in the p.m.) sleeping in the Wellness room at Red Hat.
2015
Wednesday: I drove to Greenville to take mom to bingo, and I spent the time working on the playlist for the birthdays CD we’re going to give out at the “surprise” birthday party on the Friday night before our wedding.
2014
Tuesday: I had lunch at Oak City Meatball Shoppe (which closed in 2024) with the Red Hatters to orient Colby Hoke on our processes.
