I Like Mic

Monday’s adventure was a quest for a working microphone. Starting Sunday night, I got error messages when I plugged mine into the computer. It said that the USB was drawing more power than was available. I tried every USB port on the computer and the same thing happened. I crowdsourced a solution and found two […]

Odd Man Out

I should have written this morning, late is better than nothing but need brooks no delay? Can anyone identify where that quote is from? Part of how my brain works is that I have trouble remembering many things but others the path to some memories are so well-worn that I can access them instantly. I […]

Inspired Madmen and Mental Roommates

Disaster struck yesterday! I went on my Donut Walk ™ as usual, planning for Krispy Kreme to be an intermediary stop on my way to Marie’s Coffee and Gifts. I was feeling proud of myself for taking the Coffee Walk™ a few days before I was out of coffee. I usually wait till the last […]

Eye of the Pyramid

What adventures have I had since I posted yesterday? Yesterday something momentous happened on yesterday’s Donut Walk™, I got to Krispy Kreme and didn’t go in! It was just a walk. Why? Three reasons. First, I didn’t really feel like a donut. Second, I’ve been working on walking faster and didn’t want to break my […]

Doctor on My Birthday

Yesterday morning when I wrote I had anxiety and depression. That followed a happy day celebrating my birthday with a good friend and Junior’s cheesecake. I spent my birthday going to the gastroenterologist and the anxiety and depression are gone. No, the GI doc didn’t fix my psyche. Therapy did. I now look back and […]

Today is the Fourth of July, Independence Day, so I just did what I do every year on this date; I read The Declaration of Independence. I make it a habit on all holidays to spend time thinking about what we are honoring. The Fourth is my favorite American holiday, it’s barbecues, fireworks, baseball, and […]

Lost in Anxiety

Welcome to a writing while watching the Met game edition of Wise Madness. Let’s see if I can gather enough concentration. Yesterday was not a good day. The weather wasn’t good, I didn’t take my walk, the only time I left the apartment was a quick run to the local supermarket. I bought comfort food, […]

A Dinner with a View

Yesterday was Friday so I went to the Sunset Singing Circle at Wagner Park. This made four weeks in a row and I still get a kick out of each one. I changed it up by leaving earlier and walking down from the Broadway Lafayette station. I was going to precede it with my donut […]

It’s a Cookbook!

I’m extremely disappointed, yesterday I finally felt up to going on my Donut Walk™. I managed to walk 3.57 miles, talk to Allison, and buy eggs. I had one bad moment when coughing led to a back spasm, but overall, I felt good. I figured the worst was over and I could get back to […]

Coffee Crisis

I have an emergency here. I went to make coffee and the water I turned off! There was no warning about this from the building management. What do I do? Stand next to the sink until water starts coming out? Go back and check every 5 minutes which could mean going an extra 5 minutes […]
