APAP Schmear

My therapist is sick and canceled. That upsets my coffee plan. I have none in the house but figured I’d stop at the Dunkin’ Donuts at the Harrison train station, get my free Dunkin’ Perks beverage of my choice, and buy coffee beans. Now what? I’ll make hot chocolate with my breakfast; I can live […]

Radar in a Roman Field

Welcome to a not feeling human until afternoon edition of Wise Madness. I discussed this with my psychiatrist yesterday and it finally got through my sleep dulled head that this might not be depression; that the reason I’m so sleepy is my sleep apnea. Depression and anxiety might exacerbate it, but I bet the main […]

It’s Always Sunny in Kathryn’s Place

I’m still fighting to get on a proper sleep schedule. I have two cups of coffee in me, so I should have enough focus to write without dozing off zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz That was a joke, but I have dozed off while writing and found pages and pages of single letters repeated from my fingers resting on […]

So Sumi

Last night was the last of three consecutive evenings hearing live music, the performer was Annie Sumi at River Spirit Music aka Peter and Paula’s house in Hastings. It takes a bus, a walk, a train, and getting picked up in a car, to get there but it’s still a home game. Annie was one […]

The Band of the Our

I slept late today, good thing we turn the clocks back tonight. If I next wake up 24 hours after that I’ll be right on schedule. That doesn’t help me get things done today; things like blogging. Good thing I have something to write about. It wasn’t planned but yesterday was a mental health day. […]

Deni for Your Thoughts

What’s my lede? Seeing Deni Bonet? Taking a walk? No, it’s that for the second day in a row I had to call 911. That caught your attention. It was Friday, that means therapy. I had extra need as the week before my therapist had to cancel over a family health emergency. Therapy also means […]

Roberttown, Bobtown to Their Friends

Yesterday had all the same elements as Saturday minus the idiot story, there was great music, great friends, and great food. There were also transit problems, but not for me. The music was by Bobtown, the friends were the members of Bobtown, Carolann, Allison, Bev, Fred, Shelley, David, Perry & Beth, repeats from Saturday, and […]

Blips

Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and it’s not August. Raise your hand if you know what that means I did last night? I always see the same hands. If you were there you aren’t allowed to answer. You there in the back, what did I do? “You went to John Platt’s On […]

Friends, Music, and Food, aka The Usual

I have so much catching up to do that I feel intimidated about starting to blog. If I don’t I’ll fall further behind and be even more intimidated. At least I’m recognizing that and writing. Now if I could only do that about important things. Sorry for the short shrift I’m going to have to […]

Hail to the King and the Mahatma

Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. I left the house yesterday, that will make things easier. For the first time I did what I consider my default Sunday plan, going to An Beal Bocht for their traditional Irish session. The easiest way to get there is walking but it’s a long walk, half an hour. I […]
