MOMA Mia

I have something to write about so I’m not going to wait until tomorrow to write. Today, believe it or not, I not only left my house, but I left the Bronx! I went to the Museum of Modern Art aka MOMA. It’s normally expensive, unlike the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum […]

The Terror of the Laundry Room

What to write today? I’ll make it easy on myself and start with the terrifying tale of the washer that ate my laundry. On Saturday I finally gathered enough motivation to do my laundry. I had so much I couldn’t do it all and I still have the white clothes to do. I packed it […]

Justice for All

Like so many others my thoughts today are dominated by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I feel that I should write about her, but I feel that I’m not qualified to write about her. If you want to learn about her life and importance of her work there are far better sources than me. […]

I Got an Eight!

I need to go out today, but I need to write first. Why? I didn’t write yesterday. But why do I have to write at all? Because I love My Gentle Readers and don’t want to disappoint them. It was my treatment plan day in therapy. My score on the depression test went from three […]

Another Tale Told by an Idiot

Today’s plans were centered around my MRI appointment. I couldn’t eat anything after noon and had to take Metamucil. I had another bad night’s sleep and didn’t wake up until close to 11. I was not feeling great and instead of making breakfast I just had peanut butter on chocolate chip brioche. I still had […]

Great, I’m posting later and later. Now it’s 10:32. There was a time that I’d write when I got home which was often well after midnight. Thanks to COVID-19 I turn into a pumpkin at 1 AM when the subway stops running. I have no excuse for waiting so long to write today. I could […]

Wrong-Way Horvendile

Good morning, well good afternoon, would you believe good evening? I’m writing this only 12 hours late, it’s 9:33 PM. Remember the days I would bang out an entry every day before noon. There were semesters I banged them out before 8 AM. COVID-19 has a strange affect on time. It must have to do […]

Thank You to Mitchell & Trask

I’m back to the blahs. I’m not as bad as I was on Thursday but I’m not right either. I was proactive yesterday and forced myself to take a walk. It was a beautiful day again and I know that helps. Unfortunately, the GPS on my phone got turned off so I don’t know how […]

I used to write every day before eating breakfast. It’s now 8:09 PM and I’m just starting to write. I’ll eat dinner when I’m done. I’m writing while watching the Met game. They are up 9-1 so I won’t feel bad about missing some of it to cook. Yesterday I was feeling blah. I had […]

The Blahs

I’m having a bad mental health day. I’m stuck in neutral. Let’s see if writing snaps me out of it. Perhaps writing is a form of procrastination and so making things worse. Tomorrow I have therapy. I’ve been like this since last night. It’s not quite depression and not quite anxiety. I might have to […]
