Donuts and Breathing: The keys to Health

I did not go on a Donut Walk™ yesterday. That’s sad as on Mondays Krispy Kreme also gives you a free coffee. The reason is I had to go food shopping and Aldi is in the opposite direction. It was drizzling so I did not get much waking in either. That’s as far as I […]

Free Coffee!

I missed one day but it feels like forever since I’ve written. Last night I had these serious ideas to write about. Now I’m not sure what they all were or if I will write any of them. One requires some courage on my part. I’ll start easy, idiot story adjacent, both related to Gord’s […]

The Joy of Mediation

Perhaps I should lie on my couch as I write this. I just got a call from my therapist’s office. She had to cancel today and no opportunity to reschedule. I’m afraid this doesn’t bode well. I love my therapist. I was given the opportunity to speak to someone else today, but I’d have to […]

No Complaints

I’ve had a hard to stay awake day. It’s partially because of moving the clocks ahead. Last night I was preparing Gord’s Gold and wanted to set a record for earlier finish. I did but barely. I finished around 1 AM, but that included bundling the entire show into one long file to post on […]

A Dime Bag of Anxiety

Today’s goal, to finish recording Gord’s Gold  before midnight, not start at midnight. I’ve wasted too much time already. I have to do more research before I start. Blogging is officially procrastination. There should be a word for productive procrastination. I have done everything else for the show, programmed the music, and made the excel […]

Gordon’s Big Ego

I’m starving but I love My Gentle Readers so much that I’m going to write first. I didn’t write yesterday; I always feel bad when that happens. I’ll blame my therapist as she had to cancel our session for health reasons. She almost gave me a session anyway when she called to cancel. I had […]

Stop Thief!

The heat was out again; this time I didn’t wait, I put on an extra hoodie and warmer slippers. It did not reach mukluk cold. Now the heat is back, and the extra hoodie is off and I’m debating putting on my regular slipper socks. My toes are on the edge of being too warm […]

The Au Rule

I forgot to blog today. How did that happen? It’s not like I had so much to do. I was scheduled to have my infusion today. Snow was forecast so I suspected it might get canceled. When I woke up my phone screamed at me. It was an Emergency Weather Alert. There was an official […]

Tutoring My Own Horn

I need to stop scrolling and start writing. Good thing I woke up early this morning so even with all the procrastination I’m starting to blog before 1 PM. My therapist has me looking at what I accomplish, not what I don’t. I’ve accomplished having cold toes. It’s been cool in the apartment. Good thing […]

Rituals

I’m feeling good about myself today. Yesterday I did some things that would be routine for most people but are a struggle for me. One was depositing a check; I didn’t just have my usual anxiety that comes with that, but I had trouble logging into my online bank account. That always sets my anxiety […]
