Dream within a Dream

My therapy appointment yesterday was for 11 AM. It’s a phone session and I get ready by plugging in my earbuds a few minutes early. When the buds are plugged in I have it set so the phone answers without me doing anything. At 11:03 the phone rang, and I said, “Hi Connie,” and what […]

Risky Business

Disaster struck yesterday; the air fryer stopped working. The instructions said to leave it unplugged when not in use. I plugged it in, and the power light stayed off. I am addicted to my air fryer. How bad is it? I didn’t make the chicken I planned for last night and just had peanut butter […]

Nocebo

Yesterday’s outing was to the pharmacy to pick up my new anti-anxiety med, Buspirone. It takes a while for it to build up in the system so it’s too early to see if it helps. While on the prescription pick up line I had an unfortunate encounter with the person behind me. They mark off […]

I missed writing yesterday. Let’s see if I can remember anything I wanted to say. It was in my head for a second then it ran away. It must be scary in my head. Did I leave the house? I don’t think so. Google maps agrees. The weather isn’t good and COVID-19 rates are up, […]

Think Happy Thoughts

How is everyone holding up? I’m going to continue to write about myself, nobody needs more anger and anxiety. One thing that gets me angry and anxious is that others don’t see it that way. They want everyone to be angry and anxious. I’m forever a hippie and advocate peace, love, and understanding. I’ll keep […]

Watching the Sausage Being Made

It’s the morning after Election Day and we don’t know who won. Nobody should be surprised by this; it was the most likely scenario. Believe it or not Biden is still favored to win. He is favored in every outstanding state but Nevada. If you want to carry the state next election make sure to […]

Breathe

I just found out tomorrow is Election Day. How come nobody is talking about it? I mean, how come nobody is talking about anything else? Karyn just summed up what I was going to write in a Facebook post. “Breathe.” I said this before, but it bears repeating, don’t torture yourself with what-ifs. Are you […]

We’re The People

I had another day sleeping too much and another day where my tummy isn’t right. I suspect those two things are correlated. I’m seeing my GI in a few weeks and I’ll ask him about it. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about, I’m here to talk about the draft. No, that’s Arlo. […]

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 […]

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 […]
