Majority of One

Why haven’t I written yet today? I know, it’s because I’m an idiot. I also didn’t take my walk. I put it off so long that it was already getting dark. I have to adjust my schedule to Standard Time.  Remember way back when that I had a disagreement with two New York Police Department […]

At Home with NERFA

Sorry that I’ve been MIA the last few days, blame NERFA, a cold, and the weather. Online NERFA is not the all-consuming experience of in person NERFA I had time to write but yesterday my cold and rain stopped me from going out. I haven’t left the apartment in days and that got me back […]

In In The Cold

Life is not fair. I’ve been living carefully for a year and a half. I wear a mask when I’m out. I’ve avoiding spending time with unvaccinated people. I’ve been vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19 and got my flu vaccination last week. So, what happened? I started feeling a scratchy throat late the night before […]

Cataracts, Crepes, and Radar

Has the return to standard time got my circadian rhythm in better alignment with the clocks? When’s the last time I started writing as early as 9:19 AM? This is when I want to start writing. Yesterday was a long day. Two of my friends had cataract surgery and I was their escort from the […]

The One Commandment

I didn’t write yesterday, I hate when I do that, now I must catch up. On Sunday night I went to my first Knick game since the COVID-19 lockdown. They were good about requiring proof of vaccination but not about masks. Getting in was a mess as they checked the vaccination status; I missed the […]

Compliance Will Be Rewarded

I couldn’t get myself out of the house yesterday until my nighttime adventure. I had planned on walking to Aldi for some much-needed groceries but that didn’t happen. My evening plans started at 9 PM yet I never made dinner. I didn’t blog. Saturday was not a shining day for me. My adventure was going […]

In FLU encer

Yesterday’s adventure was getting my flu shot. The tough part for me was filling out the insurance info while making my reservation at CVS. I know I have Medicaid but filling out the info still gives me anxiety. CVS has all my information; I get my prescriptions there. I wish there was a check-off box […]

I Said Poll Worker Not Pole Dancer

I have a good excuse for not blogging yesterday, I was working the polls from 5 AM to 10 PM, with two one-hour breaks. I set my alarm for 4:15 but somehow awoke on my own a few minutes after 4:00 I decided to use that extra time to eat breakfast sitting down at home […]

The Shadow Knows

I won the battle with my dark side and went to the Halloween Party at The Porch in Harlem. That’s Mark, Beth, and Dena’s listening room/bar/café to be in Harlem. There is still work being done on the interior so for now they appropriately enough use their porch. I was on the fence about going. […]

Judge Not

I might have plans for today other than the Halloween Party, a new folk opera Tam Lin  by Fiona Gillespie and Elliot Cole. I wish I knew about this earlier, I just found out late last night. Fiona posted this picture on Facebook. How can you not want to see an opera based on the […]
