I’m being good and writing before I eat breakfast. Three cheers for me. I wrote last night so not much has happened since then but yesterday I got on my wearing a mask hobby horse and missed other things. When I went shopping on Wednesday I didn’t bring a cart and carried everything in my […]

Let’s get right down to what’s important. Yesterday was Canada Day; what did I have for dinner. If you don’t know the answer you don’t know me well. I had poutine! I didn’t have any gravy in the house, so I had to make an expedition to Stop & Shop. As long as I was […]

Socially isolating makes blogging difficult. I used to write about what I did when I went out. Now I never go out except to go shopping. What am I left with? I tell you who I spoke to on the phone but that’s a lot more fun to do that to read about. That’s especially […]
I went on a shopping expedition yesterday. I have become someone less virtuous and took the bus both ways. If I go on Sundays the bus is not the limited which makes fewer stops. The local stops at the end of my block instead of having to walk half a mile. That was too hard […]
I’m in an odd emotional space. I’ve been angry at much of what I’m hearing from people. I’m not talking about the news; I’m talking social media. It’s not all political. As I’ve said I don’t like being angry. I try to calm myself. I remind myself that it’s not my job to correct everyone […]

I’m having my usual internal debate on what to write today. Part of me wants to do an airing of grievances, part of me always wants to do an airing of grievances. Faulty arguments drive me to distraction. I should hope that My Gentle Readers know that when someone says, “I’m not a racist but […]
I haven’t left the house since my last post, or have I? I think I did. I went to get a refill of fluoxetine. Who knows what that is without looking it up? It’s generic Prozac. It’s not how I think of it, but I should learn to. That’s what it says on the bottle. […]
I’ll try a nighttime edition of Wise Madness. Weird day: I didn’t get much done but I had lots of things good for my mental health since I last wrote. In the space of 24 hours I spoke to Carolann, New York Carey, River, and Katrina. River and Katrina are about the same age and […]
Is it time to write or time to talk to a friend? Obviously, I decided it was time to write. I missed writing yesterday when this would have been timelier. I have been complaining that I didn’t get my absentee ballot that I requested back in May. When I called the Board of Elections I […]
I’ve become a waiter. I’m sitting here waiting for UPS to pick up my Amazon return, the one I waited all day yesterday for them to pick up, and I’m waiting for someone at the Bronx office of the NYC board of elections to talk to me about my missing absentee ballot. I’ve been waiting […]
