Madoc and Me

I’m once again trying to write while watching the Mets. This will happen more often as I start my new job. This is a tough Met game. They fell behind 4-0, tied it up, now just allowed a three-run-homer to fall behind 7-4, It’s only the fourth inning. Fasten your seatbelts, this is going to […]

Eggheads

Don’t let the next paragraph fool you, this is not a depressing entry. This year is getting off to a slow start. First, I stayed in bed until after 11 o’clock. I hate when I keep falling back asleep. It has become difficult for me to resist the comfort of not opening my eyes or […]

Inspired Madmen and Mental Roommates

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 […]

Lucky Charm

Yesterday was disappointing. I hadn’t made any plans with a friend. I stayed home to watch the Met game and the lost. Last night I went to watch the first Knick playoff game since the Adams (John Quincy) administration, and they lost in a nail biter. I went to console myself with The Nevers and […]

It’s a Cookbook!

I’m extremely disappointed, yesterday I finally felt up to going on my Donut Walk™. I managed to walk 3.57 miles, talk to Allison, and buy eggs. I had one bad moment when coughing led to a back spasm, but overall, I felt good. I figured the worst was over and I could get back to […]

Let’s see if I can recreate the passion that I felt when I was planning this blog yesterday. I was out for a walk and inspiration was flowing through me. I got home and got tired and took a nap. This is the story the current state of my psyche. I’ll try to work up […]

Happiness Against The Universe

I left the house yesterday to go to Aldi to pick up something I needed badly, something to write about. I  no longer blog to process my life but live my life to supply fodder for my blog. Earlier in the day I had televisits with my psychiatrist and therapist. My psychiatrist appointment was supposed […]

In addition to everything else COVID-19 makes it difficult for me to blog. “Dear diary, I stayed home yesterday.” Did I at least cook something interesting? I had blackened chicken again. That’s interesting the first time, but not the second time in a week. I go on social media and see how wonderful people are […]

Too Many Choices

I’m writing in the morning. I’m actually doing it. Now if only I had something to write about and I didn’t want to go back to sleep. Having something to write about is greatly overrated. Lord Dunsany once boasted that he could write a story about the mud at the bottom of the Thames. He […]

A Dahl’s House

I’m having more social contact while social distancing than I did antepandemic. It’s not even close. I said I was going to call someone every day but now I’m getting phone calls too. I had phone therapy yesterday afternoon. I told my therapist that she counted as that day’s phone call. Shortly after we hung […]
