Wise MadnessI wimped out on my walk yesterday. Winter ignored the calendar and came back yesterday. I saw that the feels-like temperature was 19º. I was OK with that. It just meant getting out the cold-weather gear I thought I was done with for the year. I grabbed some shopping bags and started on the two-mile […]
Yesterday’s adventure was a trip to my gastroenterologist. I do that about three times a year. I think that’s based on how often he likes to talk about music with me. I suspect most people don’t look forward to the social aspect of going to the doctor. I love mine. It’s a schlep to get […]
I just experienced the perfect example of functional depression. I found myself online looking for things to do instead of blogging and preparing Gord’s Gold two things that I love to do. I’m functionally depressed but I’m not feeling depressed which makes it a good time for me to write about a manifestation of my […]
I just resisted the urge to eat first and decided to blog. That’s a good thing. I didn’t write yesterday. Yesterday morning I got a call from my favorite receptionist at the hospital I get my therapy. She did not call because she missed me. She called to tell me that therapy was canceled. She […]
I did not blog this morning but at least I’m blogging tonight. This is only 12 hours late. You know that functional depression I was talking about? That’s past, now it’s just depression. I talked to my psychiatrist today, he was the first to hear it, don’t be jealous. He called me. If My Gentle […]
Two days in a row blogging in the morning. Maybe like Stella I got my groove back. It’s not, I feel the resistance but I’m getting there. I realized last night that my functional depression was affecting my Quordle. I’m making mistakes from lack of focus. I find myself rushing. Luckily observing the workings of […]
So, what’s new? I am going to have a middle school teaching interview next week. I gave them my availability and I’m waiting for them to give me a time. It is of course someplace inconvenient, Canarsie. If I get the job, I will have to move someplace on the L line. That makes it […]
I’m sitting here making myself depressed. That’s not good. Let’s see if blogging gets me out of this funk. For that to work I have to not write about what’s causing the funk. Can I get my brain to switch gears? Read on to find out. I’m writing on to find out. Let’s root for […]
Don’t let the next paragraph fool you, this is not a depressing entry. This year is getting off to a slow start. First, I stayed in bed until after 11 o’clock. I hate when I keep falling back asleep. It has become difficult for me to resist the comfort of not opening my eyes or […]
Whee Festivus everyone. As I just wrote an old friend I often celebrated with, this has been a very Christmassy Festivus, even though I didn’t carol or see Robinson and Rohe’s Longest Winter show. In lieu of caroling Katherine and I met at the Union Square Holiday Market. Quality time with friends and family is […]
