Listen to Fauci Not Me

Today’s effort at writing in the morning fell victim to caffeine deficiency. I’m back in the afternoon topped off with two cups of coffee. It’s a beautiful day and I will get out of the house; the plan is to buy potatoes after the Donut Walk™. I’m listening to the Mets as I write this. […]

Vaxed and Stimulated

I got my COVID-19 relief money! I’m careful to not call it stimulus, that’s not its purpose. It’s to give people money to live on to help make up for losing earnings opportunity because of the pandemic. The other proper term would be rescue money. Everyone calls it stimulus, so it’s not wrong, but it […]

A Shot in the Arm

I got my first dose of vaccine! It was the puhfizer. My appointment was for 9:45 which meant I could wake up my usual time, 8:00 but couldn’t relax as much as usual. I didn’t eat or make coffee. I was not able to arrange for a ride from Medicaid, so I walked. Taking a […]

I have so much to do so of course I’m going to blog. The fact that I don’t know what I’m going to write about won’t stop me. I won’t bury the lede, I’m getting my COVID-19 vaccine tomorrow. I became eligible on February 15. I read that I could make appointments starting on the […]

Waiting List

Yay, I overcame lethargy and I’m writing for the first time in days. That was tough. Yesterday I went on a shopping adventure to Aldi. This directly led to an idiot story. I prefer going to Aldi on Sundays because that is the only day that the BX1 runs local; to bus stops a block […]

Getting Blacks Vaxxed

It’s Super Bowl Sunday. Does that mean I should write about football? No, it doesn’t. I got tired early last night, I thought of going to sleep before 11 PM. I didn’t because I wanted to record Gord’s Gold first. Why didn’t I record it then? It was too loud. I was waiting for things […]

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 […]

I’m practicing what I preach this afternoon. With the new strains of COVID-19 we need to be even more careful. I found KN95 masks 10 for $10 and bought a pack. They don’t arrive until Tuesday. My plan was to go to Aldi today. The bus stops much closer to me on Sundays and I’m […]

This should be the greatest edition of Wise Madness ever! Why? I’ve had not my usual two cups but four cups of coffee. After six you can move things with your mind. After eight travel through space and time, after 10 you gain the powers of a god. Is this news to anybody? This should […]
