What’s Up Doc?

I love when I’m reminded how much I love something, yesterday it was peanut butter omelets. I need to make them more often. Oddly, they work best with fake peanut butter, the kinds you don’t have to mix. In all other cases I prefer unadulterated peanut butter without sugar or emulsifiers. I used to call […]

Pavlov’s Diarist

I spent the summer of 1973 at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, intensively studying psychology from a behaviorist perspective. It was an NSF program for high school students. I didn’t get the spot I wanted, studying physics at the Colorado School of Mines, then WMU offered me this spot. While I suspect I’d have preferred […]

Musical Infusion

Yesterday I had my infusion. The car showed up early, but I was ready. It fit in my plan as after I was dropped off I went across the street from the infusion center to get bagels. I can’t get it after because they close at 3:30. I still checked in way early. I don’t […]

Blip On The Radar

Good morning My Gentle Readers. It is actually morning, when I’m supposed to be writing. I just resisted making breakfast first. Now all I have to do is remember what happened yesterday. That might sound easy but as I have not had breakfast I have also not had coffee. This will be a challenge. I’m […]

I suspect I’m coming out of my procrastination/anxiety episode. They never go away but that not always as bad as they’ve been the last few weeks. I was not able to do my usual promotional duties for John Platt’s On Your Radar. Yesterday was the day of the event and in the afternoon I managed […]

I Got an Eight!

I need to go out today, but I need to write first. Why? I didn’t write yesterday. But why do I have to write at all? Because I love My Gentle Readers and don’t want to disappoint them. It was my treatment plan day in therapy. My score on the depression test went from three […]

I had a crisis this morning. I went to make breakfast and found something I missed washing last night. I put it in the sink, turned on the water, and nothing came out. Why is this a crisis? You should be way ahead of me. It had nothing to do with cleaning the rack from […]

Biden My Time With Kamala

I should be able to write today and not be introspective. I was going to say, “annoyingly introspective,” but I’m not confident enough to make that joke. I am confident enough to reference making that joke. I need that one step of removal. That works for me. I’m not thinking of deleting all this and […]

In addition to everything else COVID-19 makes it difficult for me to blog. “Dear diary, I stayed home yesterday.” Did I at least cook something interesting? I had blackened chicken again. That’s interesting the first time, but not the second time in a week. I go on social media and see how wonderful people are […]

Who Was That Unmasked Man?

I should have written this two hour ago, better late than never. I had another good day yesterday. Not as exciting as Sunday when I heard live music and at a restaurant with a friend. Yesterday’s accomplishments were sitting in for Tragedy Ann’s John Platt’s On Your Radar tech rehearsal. Rob Hinkal directs the show. […]
