A Visit from St. Nick

Yesterday was Christmas, I got a delivery from Peapod. The texted me the night before and narrowed the delivery window to two hours. I got a text when it was on the way. I got a text when he got to the building. All done great. He came to my door, rang the bell, and […]

Nature Walk, Pizza, Pancakes, and Bri

Yesterday was bleak and dreary, a perfect day to take a walk. That’s how you have to think, go out when other people won’t be going out to minimize your contact. There was even some drizzle but with my cap and hood on I didn’t feel it. I walked down the median of Mosholu Parkway […]

Barsoom Brawl

I’ve gotten too good at not leaving the house. The question now is, will I be able to motivate myself to leave when social distancing is eased? I hope so. While I have always enjoyed my days at home not getting dressed this is too much of a good thing. I need to see more […]

Dance of the Entyvio

Good morning My Gentle Readers. I know that technically it’s not morning, it’s 7:35 PM but I woke up from a nap, so it feels like morning. Maybe the problem is that I made breakfast and had my coffee too early. I guess that’s what I should write about. I went for my infusion today. […]

A Tale of Two Meals

Today will be a tale of meals and socializing. Yesterday I decided to splurge. My roommate and I ordered Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich Combos and had them delivered. I know I love my cooking and I love to cook but this was a nice change of pace with no cleanup. I hate cleanup. The sandwiches really […]

The Road to Hadestown Has Too Many People Not Wearing Masks

Yesterday I went on an expedition for coffee. I feel guilty about doing so but I am careful while I’m out. There was a screen between Marie and me. I made the expedition because I’m now addicted to Marie’s Coffee Roasters. I never asked if she was actually Marie but every time I’ve been there […]

I ❤️ New York

I should have started writing hours ago. Why didn’t I? I have even less initiative than usual. I have to fight that. No use beating myself up, let’s start writing. My victory today was calling to make an appointment for my next infusion. It’s due a week from Saturday. I wasn’t even sure if I […]

Easter aka The Return of the King

Oh no, my therapy session is canceled for Good Friday. Now sure I could kill someone and win on an insanity defense, but I don’t want to kill anyone. I’ll have to find another silver lining. I did; it gives me time to leave the house. I’ve been very good about isolating but I need […]

Chaos for Pesach

I have things to write about today. Is that enough or do you want the details? You guys are so demanding. Fine, I can’t say no to My Gentle Readers. Last night we had the Seder, so I had to prepare for Pesach (Passover). No, I didn’t burn the chametz. I still have plenty of […]

Journey to the Sixth Floor

Today’s expedition was vertical, all the way to the 6th floor. I live on the second. Yesterday when I came home carrying my eggs and other things I bought at the grocery store I found two Amazon packages in the mail room. I was expecting two Amazon packages. Because I was carrying things and wearing […]
