I’m Positive I’m Negative

I’m writing at 8:36 PM and I have not had coffee today. Let’s see if I can get anything done. Yesterday I got a message to check my COVID-19 Alert App. It told me that I had been exposed on Wednesday. I thought that meant the app waited all this time to tell me but […]

Lots of Screen Time

I’m finally getting around to writing. It looks like I’m taking today off. What does that even mean for me? It means avoiding all stress. Yesterday I had therapy. I had to deal with something I can’t talk about here. It doesn’t help that my next session is next year. The next two Fridays are […]

I am becoming holiday music. That’s what happens when I prepare a holiday show. Here’s a sneak peek, there will be music by RUNA, The Sea the Sea, Barnaby Bright, and the cast of Hadestown. That’s how far I got writing yesterday. What happened? I looked at my playlist to see what musicians I should […]

Whee Festivus

Forgive me My Gentle Readers for I have sinned. It’s been three days since my last confession, that’s two days too long. Staying at home is not a good enough excuse, my body might be sessile, but my mind always wanders. My body wandered today, I had to pick up a prescription. That was sufficient […]

Pavlov’s Diarist

I spent the summer of 1973 at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, intensively studying psychology from a behaviorist perspective. It was an NSF program for high school students. I didn’t get the spot I wanted, studying physics at the Colorado School of Mines, then WMU offered me this spot. While I suspect I’d have preferred […]

Musical Infusion

Yesterday I had my infusion. The car showed up early, but I was ready. It fit in my plan as after I was dropped off I went across the street from the infusion center to get bagels. I can’t get it after because they close at 3:30. I still checked in way early. I don’t […]

Dream within a Dream

My therapy appointment yesterday was for 11 AM. It’s a phone session and I get ready by plugging in my earbuds a few minutes early. When the buds are plugged in I have it set so the phone answers without me doing anything. At 11:03 the phone rang, and I said, “Hi Connie,” and what […]

Risky Business

Disaster struck yesterday; the air fryer stopped working. The instructions said to leave it unplugged when not in use. I plugged it in, and the power light stayed off. I am addicted to my air fryer. How bad is it? I didn’t make the chicken I planned for last night and just had peanut butter […]

I failed at dinner last night. I had planned on making dinner around 8 PM then I got a notification that Tribal Mischief was doing an interview with Alisa Amador on their Twitch channel at 8. During the intros I ran into the kitchen and made myself a peanut butter on chocolate chip brioche sandwich. […]

I’m being good and writing even though I’m not inspired to write. Being a pro means performing on demand. I once read in The Straight Dope that was the defining talent for male porn stars. I said “porn” so now more people will find this via googling. Back when I was on Diaryland I knew […]
