Playing the Odds

So much for posting in the morning. Can I use the excuse that I had therapy at 11 AM? I could. It’s true that I did. What is not demonstrated is that I would have if I hadn’t had therapy. If everyone understood that without effort the world would be a better place. Does that […]

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 […]

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. […]

That’s Not How Science Works

I haven’t written today and there’s no reason to wait until tomorrow, time no longer exists. I have to strike while the intellectual iron is hot. I do surveys online for Ipsos and YouGov. Through one of them I was asked to participate in a virtual town hall with one of my Senators, Kirsten Gillibrand, […]

My Nose

Another day that got away from me. I have something of an excuse. I woke up several times in the night. Once I woke up shivering. I had kicked off my covers, but it wasn’t cold enough for me to shiver. My brain was telling my body to raise its internal temperature. I get that […]

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 […]

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 […]

Dunned by Own Kruger

I went on an expedition today, two whole blocks to the supermarket because I was out of eggs. I wore the band new mask that my roommate made me. This is how I look, like some sort of crazed criminal. I wasn’t wearing my reading glasses so I couldn’t see how I looked. It was […]

Blame Jack Hardy

My tummy isn’t happy this morning. I wonder if the beef gravy for my poutine was in the fridge too long. Each container is enough for three dinners but as much as I love poutine I don’t want it every night. I try to space it out over a week; maybe this was longer. At […]

More Perfect

Blogging while minimalizing your time outside is not easy. I could write every day, I sat in my recliner and watched TV but that would soon get old. I do cheat and tell you what I ate and who I spoke to, or is that who I ate and what I spoke to? No, for […]
