I ❤️ New York

I should have started writing hours ago. Why didn’t I? I have even less initiative than usual. I have to fight that. No use beating myself up, let’s start writing. My victory today was calling to make an appointment for my next infusion. It’s due a week from Saturday. I wasn’t even sure if I […]

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 […]

COVID in Perspective

Oh right, I’m supposed to write something; there’s no Wise Madness Generator App. Somebody at Google or Apple should get on that. I went out on an expedition today; all the way to the local grocery store to get potatoes and milk. Last time I shopped there were no potatoes and my milk inexplicably turned […]

I have wall to wall streaming concerts today; I am going to attempt to write as I listen. Of course, that means not watching so every once in a while I need to see if people are talking to me. I’ve been talking to people much more often then when I’m not social distancing so […]

Dunning-Kruger-Bunker Effect

I’m trying something new today. I’m writing as I listen and watch Amy Speace stream a concert. Two songs in a row from Killer in Me including the title track. This is not going well. I spend all my time watching and not writing. So many of my friends are watching too. We are isolating […]

Democracy is Hard

I didn’t mount an expedition yesterday or call a friend. I did receive two calls. One was from my therapist; out session today is going to be by phone. I told her weeks ago this would happen. It’s how you stop a disease from spreading. This was much tougher on people before the internet and […]

Sampling

Blogging in the time of COVID-19 is different. My entire schedule is different. Writing in the afternoon is becoming more common. I wish it wouldn’t. Notice I’m still saying COVID-19 even if the world is saying “Novel Corona Virus.” That causes too much confusion as there are many corona viruses and what applies to one […]
