Thank You to Mitchell & Trask

I’m back to the blahs. I’m not as bad as I was on Thursday but I’m not right either. I was proactive yesterday and forced myself to take a walk. It was a beautiful day again and I know that helps. Unfortunately, the GPS on my phone got turned off so I don’t know how […]

I used to write every day before eating breakfast. It’s now 8:09 PM and I’m just starting to write. I’ll eat dinner when I’m done. I’m writing while watching the Met game. They are up 9-1 so I won’t feel bad about missing some of it to cook. Yesterday I was feeling blah. I had […]

The Blahs

I’m having a bad mental health day. I’m stuck in neutral. Let’s see if writing snaps me out of it. Perhaps writing is a form of procrastination and so making things worse. Tomorrow I have therapy. I’ve been like this since last night. It’s not quite depression and not quite anxiety. I might have to […]

Wile E. Coyote – Genius

Let’s see if I can write this before I eat breakfast, which should be around  noon. Last I told you I was going to go out and take a walk. I went into my bedroom to change into outdoor clothes, saw my bed, lay down, and took a nap. On the one hand, I needed […]

Happiness Against The Universe

I left the house yesterday to go to Aldi to pick up something I needed badly, something to write about. I  no longer blog to process my life but live my life to supply fodder for my blog. Earlier in the day I had televisits with my psychiatrist and therapist. My psychiatrist appointment was supposed […]

Anticrastination

I hate when I fall behind in blogging. I didn’t blog yesterday but today I’m busy watching the Philadelphia Folk Festival. I was fortunate enough to have a friend gift me a ticket for today. This is where Gordon Privilege come in. I’m uncomfortable with most uses of “privilege.” Being treated the way everyone should […]

Matthew 6:12

Sorry that I’ve been MIA since Monday. I had a bad week; to which you should respond, “If you had a bad week why should I suffer?” Anyone know where that’s from? What if I told you it was said by Menachem the beggar? Yes, that’s right, it’s from Fiddler on the Roof. It’s in […]

Bus Ride Revelation

I’m listening to We’re About 9 now so I should say, I’m “Writing Again.” I wonder what fraction of My Gentle Readers get that? There was a time it would have been most of them. I’ll explain it before finish. What’s the excitement since I last wrote? My therapy was canceled today, and I couldn’t […]

Gaslight Cats

Sorry I’ve been MIA the last few days. I find that I have the same anxiety holding me back here as in recording Gord’s Gold, it’s choosing the subject matter. There are so many musicians I love; how do I single one out? There’s so much on my mind, how do I decided which one […]

Masking Priorities

I’ll try a nighttime edition of Wise Madness. Weird day: I didn’t get much done but I had lots of things good for my mental health since I last wrote. In the space of 24 hours I spoke to Carolann, New York Carey, River, and Katrina. River and Katrina are about the same age and […]
