The Wisdom to Know the Difference

Yesterday got away from me and I never blogged. I went to make one call before I started and it lasted three and a half  hours. I’m not complaining. That’s the kind of thing that makes quarantining manageable. I’d rather have done that than blogged, but I’d rather remember what I was planning on writing […]

The Love For Three Oranges

I said in my last entry that my KN95 masks were arriving Tuesday. I was wrong, they came yesterday. Once they were in my hand I felt safe to go shopping. I put a new mask on, put an old cloth mask in my pocket to wear on top while I was on the bus […]

Political Theatre of the Absurd

I’m late getting to blogging and I haven’t gone shopping yet but I did get some work done today. I edited out a snippet of John Platt’s On Your Radar to post on Instagram and YouTube. I am still getting better at that. Instagram has a glitch when I post videos I can’t change the […]

What’s Up Doc?

I love when I’m reminded how much I love something, yesterday it was peanut butter omelets. I need to make them more often. Oddly, they work best with fake peanut butter, the kinds you don’t have to mix. In all other cases I prefer unadulterated peanut butter without sugar or emulsifiers. I used to call […]

The Tannenbaum Defenestration

Yesterday’s highlight was the performance of one of favorite holiday rituals, the Tannenbaum defenestration. This was only my second time observing the ritual. I’m Jewish, I might sing Christmas carols, but I don’t do Christmas trees, but I live with someone who does, and I enjoy second-hand Christmas. My roommate is Christmas Tree Orthodox, the […]

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 […]

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 […]

A House Divided

I’m concerned, writing first thing in the morning used to be so easy for me. Now early afternoon feels like an accomplishment. I used to be able to write fine without coffee. I’ll blame COVID-19. It’s not COVID-19’s fault but I know it won’t sue me. The vaccine will give me immunity. I made an […]

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 […]
