It’s Not Politics

Yesterday I found buried treasure, shaved beef at the bottom of the meat bin in the freezer. I dug for it because I suspected it might be there. That meant I had Philadelphia cheesesteak for dinner. I had to improvise as I had no hero rolls, I substituted a mini-naan. It looked something like a […]

Wet Potatoes

It’s only 10:23 and I’m starting to write! The small victories count, the lead to the big ones. How did Mr. Numbers Guy become so touchy feely? Easy they aren’t mutually exclusive. I’m still Mr. Numbers Guy. Numbers and hard facts take precedence. I don’t make judgments based on feelings, but it’s irrational to ignore […]

Going to the Opera, Collect $50 from Every Player

My health is almost back to normal. I gave myself a sick day on Saturday and didn’t push myself yesterday. I rescheduled Saturday’s task for later today and added a new task tomorrow. I have a long way to go but I’m working on functioning better. For now, that means one task a day plus […]

Cat Looks

I’ve had a rough health day. I slept until 11:20 and my stomach didn’t feel right. I didn’t eat until 2:00 and then I fell asleep for a few more hours. My guess is that this is another manifestation of my Crohn’s even though I have no active inflammation. I know that as my MRI […]

Get the Lead Out

I got up enough initiative yesterday to get out of the house and take a walk. What inspired me? I’m almost out of coffee. Without coffee it isn’t living, it’s merely existing. I walked over to Marie’s Coffee on Arthur Ave, the best coffee in the Bronx. It’s one of those things I consider special […]

Take This with More Than a Grain of Salt

I wasn’t going to write today but that if I didn’t I would never end up writing about Syracuse Salt Potatoes. I have never eaten one and blame LORi for not introducing them to me when we visited Syracuse on our way to Toronto. Her son was at the University. I have a weakness for […]

I Hope My Magnetic Image Resonates with You

Today you get to hear about my MRI, isn’t that exciting? It actually is, it’s amazing technology. I feel like I’m living in the future when I get one. There is prep involved that isn’t pleasant but was much better than I remembered it. Four hours before the procedure I had to take two teaspoons […]

Special Delivery

Today disappeared. I somehow slept until 1:30 PM. It was a rare day that I made breakfast before I turned on my computer. I know you care what I ate, it was hameggandcheese on a bagel. I’m considering not cooking dinner and just having peanut butter. Usually I think of that as a failure, but […]

Stomped Eggshells

Good afternoon My Gentle Readers. I’m still procrastinating but at least I’m writing while the sun is out, even if it is hiding behind clouds and raindrops. I wrote that, the phone rang, and now it’s an hour later. After commenting that I had not used my voice in days I’ve now had 7 phone […]

The Man with the Puppy Dog Eyes

I’m back to not leaving my house very often. That makes it difficult to write. How many times can I write about perfectly making perfectly cooked roasted chicken in the air fryer? I also had a perfectly made baked potato. I wish my mother could have made chicken like that while I was growing up. […]
