Adore Amador

I had a typical Gordon Friday; I went to therapy and then a concert; a little normalcy is nice. I was going to say this could have been pre-pandemic but there were a few things different. Yesterday’s Wise Madness, Talking ‘Bout My Generation and Yours Too, took longer to write than I budgeted which through […]

Talking ‘Bout My Generation and Yours Too

I’m writing in the morning like I’m supposed to! How did that happen? especially on a day my alarm didn’t go off. Yesterday’s adventure was escorting my friends home from their cataract surgery. I like the way the hospital, New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, works with escorts. The patients give the […]

Disaster struck yesterday! I went on my Donut Walk ™ as usual, planning for Krispy Kreme to be an intermediary stop on my way to Marie’s Coffee and Gifts. I was feeling proud of myself for taking the Coffee Walk™ a few days before I was out of coffee. I usually wait till the last […]

Majority of One

Why haven’t I written yet today? I know, it’s because I’m an idiot. I also didn’t take my walk. I put it off so long that it was already getting dark. I have to adjust my schedule to Standard Time.  Remember way back when that I had a disagreement with two New York Police Department […]

Has the return to standard time got my circadian rhythm in better alignment with the clocks? When’s the last time I started writing as early as 9:19 AM? This is when I want to start writing. Yesterday was a long day. Two of my friends had cataract surgery and I was their escort from the […]

The One Commandment

I didn’t write yesterday, I hate when I do that, now I must catch up. On Sunday night I went to my first Knick game since the COVID-19 lockdown. They were good about requiring proof of vaccination but not about masks. Getting in was a mess as they checked the vaccination status; I missed the […]

The Doctor that Wouldn’t Vax

Yesterday was a bad mental health day. It was due to a confluence of events the most important of which is isolation, I have not seen a friend in almost two weeks. Talking to my psychiatrist did more harm than good. I like my psychiatrist, but I found out that he not vaccinated and doesn’t […]

Shooting for the Dune

I hope I properly reset my circadian rhythm this morning. On Saturday I slept until 11. I let myself do that on Saturday. Then I did it again on Sunday. I went to sleep at 1:30 instead of midnight last night but when I woke up at 7:40 I left myself go back to sleep […]

No Work

I didn’t get the job. I decided to tear the band-aid off. I didn’t even expect to hear from them until next week instead I heard yesterday. I have no idea what happened as the interview went so well and I got nothing but praise from the interviewers. I won’t speculate, at least I won’t […]

It’s 9:08 AM and I’m writing, how did that happen? I actually started before 9:00 but the insert time keyboard shortcut alt+shift+T wasn’t working. Instead that was opening the snipping tool. It wasn’t just in word but in all apps. I couldn’t figure out what happened until I googles alt+shift+T and discovered that happens in […]
