The Root of Amazing

I’m remarkably busy for someone for the most part staying at home. Social Distancing Streaming Concerts is taking up a lot of my time. It’s taking off wonderfully. I have to work on scheduling the staff so that it’s always someone’s job to reply to people and post shows. I wrote that last sentence half […]

Being Alone Together

I’m doing something constructive with my downtime, I created a clearinghouse for streaming concerts on Facebook, Social Distancing Streaming Concerts. With the help of my intrepid partners we are posting links to upcoming streams. I was just posting links then Kristen arranged it so that we can add all FB events to our own event […]

Sitting Alone in My Room

COVID-19 is going to be tough on my blogging. If I stay home I’ll have less to write about. I could keep writing about COVID-19. I was having an imaginary conversation with my therapist today, analyzing why I do write so much about it here and on Facebook. It’s because deserved or not people trust […]

Isolate

To isolate or not to isolate, that is the question. The more I read the more I become convinced that isolation is necessary to limit the spread of COVID-19. The numbers all agree, the sooner people isolate the sooner and greater extent that it stops spreading. I hate this, I’m a social person. I’m a […]

Once More Into the Breach

I knew exactly what I was going to write about today. Now I don’t remember. Something with the election? I think it was something about a common cognitive error people make while discussing the elections. The technical name for my cognitive error is being an idiot. I can write about something idiotic I did that […]

Let’s Go to the COVIDEO

I surprised my therapist by asking how the hospital is preparing for COVID-19? She said I was the last patient she’d think was worried about that. I’m not germophobic and medical issues are the one thing I have less anxiety about than most people. I’m not afraid of getting COVID-19 and picturing me or my […]

I’m voting for the Chocolate Party

Yesterday started with very little sleep. I got home late on Friday and then had an 8 AM appointment for my infusion. I am supposed to get them every 8 weeks and missed a few. This was due to and reinforced a vicious anxiety cycle. The longer I waited the more anxiety I had about […]

FIP

I’m going to continue my discussion of the Mets after a brief account of my day. I saw my gastroenterologist today. I’m not down to routine visits every five or six months. I asked her about the problems I had last week, and she suspects food poisoning. Makes sense to me. I’m back to a […]

It’s Alive!

I had an insight yesterday, something I wanted to share with you. I’m also an idiot so forgot it. It will probably come to me as soon as I post this and then I’ll forget it again tomorrow. I was going to say that it’s not easy not having a brain, but the whole point […]

Dazed and Infused

Facebook exposes me to things that I wouldn’t otherwise experience. Like everyone else in the world I live in a bubble, I interact with a limited number of people and they are far from a random sampling. On Facebook I see posts from people I wouldn’t talk to and see otherwise hidden sides of people […]
