Good Things

I’m sorry My Gentle Readers, blogging fled my brain this morning. Good thing I stumbled across it near the peanut butter and chocolate wafers. So now it wants to let you know that I didn’t eat the entire box, I left one package. I think that’s about 700,000 Calories. I’ve been nosh deprived and dived […]

I’m Positive I’m Negative

I’m writing at 8:36 PM and I have not had coffee today. Let’s see if I can get anything done. Yesterday I got a message to check my COVID-19 Alert App. It told me that I had been exposed on Wednesday. I thought that meant the app waited all this time to tell me but […]

Risky Business

Disaster struck yesterday; the air fryer stopped working. The instructions said to leave it unplugged when not in use. I plugged it in, and the power light stayed off. I am addicted to my air fryer. How bad is it? I didn’t make the chicken I planned for last night and just had peanut butter […]

Virtual Life

I’m being good and writing even though I’m not inspired to write. Being a pro means performing on demand. I once read in The Straight Dope that was the defining talent for male porn stars. I said “porn” so now more people will find this via googling. Back when I was on Diaryland I knew […]

A House Divided

I’m concerned, writing first thing in the morning used to be so easy for me. Now early afternoon feels like an accomplishment. I used to be able to write fine without coffee. I’ll blame COVID-19. It’s not COVID-19’s fault but I know it won’t sue me. The vaccine will give me immunity. I made an […]

Yesterday’s outing was to the pharmacy to pick up my new anti-anxiety med, Buspirone. It takes a while for it to build up in the system so it’s too early to see if it helps. While on the prescription pick up line I had an unfortunate encounter with the person behind me. They mark off […]

It’s Not Politics

Yesterday I found buried treasure, shaved beef at the bottom of the meat bin in the freezer. I dug for it because I suspected it might be there. That meant I had Philadelphia cheesesteak for dinner. I had to improvise as I had no hero rolls, I substituted a mini-naan. It looked something like a […]

My procrastination is getting worse, not better. I haven’t written in days. I spent yesterday’s therapy session on this, and it didn’t help. I wrote that sentence then spent 30 minutes on Facebook. This is getting worse. I’m going to procrastinate again, but this time with a purpose. I’ll be back after I meditate. I […]

The Trump Virus

I’ve been unhappy with my procrastination. I’m forcing myself to write this. I didn’t write yesterday. My therapist called me to cancel. I love therapy and need a session but part of me is happy as that means not having to fess up on the things I didn’t do. Notice that I’m not telling you […]

Covid Put The Kibosh

I went out and did exciting things yesterday, at least by pandemic standards. I should be champing at the bit to write yet I’ve waiting till the afternoon. It is now half an hour since I wrote that. My bit is unchamped. I did some research. The original idiom was “champ at the bit.” The […]
