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 […]

Today you get to hear about my MRI, isn’t that exciting? It actually is, it’s amazing technology. I feel like I’m living in the future when I get one. There is prep involved that isn’t pleasant but was much better than I remembered it. Four hours before the procedure I had to take two teaspoons […]

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 […]
Yesterday’s adventures were in health and food shopping. I had my first appointment with my new gastroenterologist, Dr. Ullman. I had to take public transit, subway, and a bus; at least the timing was good. The waiting for the transfer is the part that I hate. This was my first time in a doctor’s office […]

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 […]
Did you wonder why I wasn’t writing? I’ve been sick. I’m still sick. It’s what I always call my Crohn’s but should call an intestinal obstruction. My intestines have multiple constrictions from 50 years of Crohn’s disease plus hernias and surgical scars. I woke obstructed yesterday and have not eaten since Sunday night. I drink […]
Today’s plans were centered around my MRI appointment. I couldn’t eat anything after noon and had to take Metamucil. I had another bad night’s sleep and didn’t wake up until close to 11. I was not feeling great and instead of making breakfast I just had peanut butter on chocolate chip brioche. I still had […]
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 […]
I should have left the house the last two days. Not because there was anything I particularly needed to do. Not because I needed the exercise, not because I needed the fresh air. I needed the change of scenery to reset my mind. I’m having a bad attack of holier than thou. I was planning […]
I’m going to have to stop writing in 15 minutes to watch Karen Dahlstrom streaming but as I’ve procrastinated all day and didn’t write yesterday I figured it’s best I get started. I’ve had a second glass of ice coffee; the second was actually ice creamed coffee so I should have enough energy. I didn’t […]
