Meditations on Depression with Eggs

I just resisted the urge to eat first and decided to blog. That’s a good thing. I didn’t write yesterday. Yesterday morning I got a call from my favorite receptionist at the hospital I get my therapy. She did not call because she missed me. She called to tell me that therapy was canceled. She […]

The functional depression has been hitting me hard. I’ve spent too much of the last two days sleeping. Realizing that I forced myself to be proactive. I took a five-and-a-half mile walk through some neighborhoods I rarely go to. Going how I just choose to walk down streets I haven’t walked before. I wanted to […]

Idiot² Story

I’m still not writing every day and that’s not good. Do I remember anything that happened since I last wrote? I made a life-changing discovery a few days ago. Aldi now carries Irish bangers! Guess what I had for dinner that night? You are so smart; you knew it was bangers & mash. I’m having […]

Getting Back in the Writing Habit

So, what’s new? I am going to have a middle school teaching interview next week. I gave them my availability and I’m waiting for them to give me a time. It is of course someplace inconvenient, Canarsie. If I get the job, I will have to move someplace on the L line. That makes it […]

I’ve written about fighting depression of late. I wasn’t losing the fight, but the fight itself takes something out of me. It’s depressing to have to fight depression. Good thing the fascinating behavior of nonlinear systems is also a distraction. That being said I snapped out of it, and it took somebody else to draw […]

Apeeling Garlic

I had things to write about today and all that’s surfacing now is the potato. I made mashed potatoes last night and got more ambitious than of late. I went for garlic even though I have no garlic powder or garlic press, the ways I have previously added garlic. Instead, I decided to go full […]

This Too Shall COVID Pass

It’s much easier to write the day after I leave the house. When I’m out there are more opportunities to be an idiot. There will be idiot stories. I sometimes wonder if I subconsciously do stupid things, so I’ll have something to write about. The problem with that theory is that I did stupid things […]
