I Said Poll Worker Not Pole Dancer

I have a good excuse for not blogging yesterday, I was working the polls from 5 AM to 10 PM, with two one-hour breaks. I set my alarm for 4:15 but somehow awoke on my own a few minutes after 4:00 I decided to use that extra time to eat breakfast sitting down at home […]

Woe Be Gone I Saw Debi Smith

Yesterday’s adventure was seeing Debi Smith and Garrison Keillor at City Winery New York. That’s not how I wanted to start this, but all my English teachers taught me to put the most important idea in the first sentence. I like to work into things gradually. I got my assignment for Election Day; I’ll be […]

Follow the Bouncing Microwave

Wow, I’m writing this when I’m supposed to, in the morning. Maybe this is a harbinger of things to come. Now if I can get back to going to sleep earlier so I’m rested when I wake up. I just closed my eyes and almost fell asleep. I could make coffee but once I do […]

The Men Not Behind the Mask

Therapy was canceled today, that’s not a good thing. You know what else is not good? I didn’t go to last night’s Met game because the MTA asked people to avoid all unnecessary travel as they tried to recover from the storm. It was a beautiful day. I would have loved to go, the Mets […]

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 […]

Welcome to a rare late-night edition of Wise Madness. I used to do this all the time. I’m doing it now because I have fallen so far behind, Tonight I’ll write about Friday and tomorrow about today. We’ll leave the rest of the time since I last wrote as a mystery as it clearly wasn’t […]

Who Was That Unmasked Man?

I did not make my donut walk yesterday! This morning I’m tired, is that cause and effect? What spelling of doughnut do you prefer, the one that refers to the dough, or the one that I believe was made up by Dunkin’ Donuts, now DD? I prefer doughnoughts, zeroes made from dough. That isn’t where […]

Infusion Serendipity

Yesterday’s adventures revolve around my infusion. The car service arrived early so I rushed to get down there. I didn’t forget anything, but I did overdress. It was quite a bit warmer than I was prepared for. I never zipped up my jacket or wore my hat and gloves. Medicaid provides the car to take […]

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 […]
