The Great Purge

Yesterday’s adventure was my first shopping trip, including taking a bus, since I got notified that I had contact with someone that tested positive my last time on a bus. Perhaps that wasn’t wise as I am having a colonoscopy tomorrow but I’m out of too many kinds of food and I’m going to be […]

Good Things

I’m sorry My Gentle Readers, blogging fled my brain this morning. Good thing I stumbled across it near the peanut butter and chocolate wafers. So now it wants to let you know that I didn’t eat the entire box, I left one package. I think that’s about 700,000 Calories. I’ve been nosh deprived and dived […]

The Best of 2020

I’m out of coffee so I’m drinking hot chocolate with breakfast instead. I love the hot chocolate, but it does not have the caffeine kick. I fell asleep before I could write. Then in the middle of the afternoon I started writing. I got a little way in when Kathy told me that there was […]

Radio Head

I need to write, and I need to buy potatoes. I’ll write first as that does not require moving. I talked to Brian on the phone yesterday, the first time in a while. While we were on the phone the front doorbell rang. I shouted, “I’ll be right there I’m getting a mask.” As I […]

Rituals

I’m feeling good about myself today. Yesterday I did some things that would be routine for most people but are a struggle for me. One was depositing a check; I didn’t just have my usual anxiety that comes with that, but I had trouble logging into my online bank account. That always sets my anxiety […]

It’s a Wonderful Film

I’m trying to prepare my best of 2020 show, but I took time out to watch It’s a Wonderful Life, and that reset my mood. I’m now firmly ensconced in Christmas. It makes no difference that I’m not a Christian and if you asked me what person born on Christmas Day changed the world, I’d […]

The Ancient Roots of Festivus

This is a repost of the December 29, 2004 edition of Wise Madness hosted by Diaryland, The Festivus Edition of the Horvendile Inquirer What holiday do you celebrate in late December? Christmas? Chanukkah? Kwanzaa? Solstice? For 30 million Americans the answer this year was Festivus and that number is only likely to increase in the […]

Whee! Festivus!

I don’t have COVID-19 but my Crohn’s disease got jealous of the attention COVID-19 was getting and decided to remind me who is boss. It’s manifesting itself primarily the way it did decades ago. I’m not in that much pain but I have no energy. I spent yesterday watching tv and napping. I didn’t even […]
