Breathe

Good afternoon My Gentle Readers. “What do you mean? Do you wish me a good afternoon, or mean that it is a good afternoon whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this afternoon; or that it is an afternoon to be good on?” “All of them at once.” I like when […]

Going to the Opera, Collect $50 from Every Player

My health is almost back to normal. I gave myself a sick day on Saturday and didn’t push myself yesterday. I rescheduled Saturday’s task for later today and added a new task tomorrow. I have a long way to go but I’m working on functioning better. For now, that means one task a day plus […]

Take This with More Than a Grain of Salt

I wasn’t going to write today but that if I didn’t I would never end up writing about Syracuse Salt Potatoes. I have never eaten one and blame LORi for not introducing them to me when we visited Syracuse on our way to Toronto. Her son was at the University. I have a weakness for […]

Special Delivery

Today disappeared. I somehow slept until 1:30 PM. It was a rare day that I made breakfast before I turned on my computer. I know you care what I ate, it was hameggandcheese on a bagel. I’m considering not cooking dinner and just having peanut butter. Usually I think of that as a failure, but […]

Stomped Eggshells

Good afternoon My Gentle Readers. I’m still procrastinating but at least I’m writing while the sun is out, even if it is hiding behind clouds and raindrops. I wrote that, the phone rang, and now it’s an hour later. After commenting that I had not used my voice in days I’ve now had 7 phone […]

On Your Raye Dar Redux

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 […]

It is ridiculous that I’ve waited this long to write today but that is where my head is out. I’ve been dysfunctional of late. I’m not going to dwell on that and instead discuss what I’ve done the last few days. On Sunday I made another pilgrimage to Ditmas Park to hear a porch concert […]

Come Out Morgan

I am often tempted to start my blog with “Good Morning Campers!” Do you know why? I’m thinking of Tommy’s Holiday Camp. I’m hearing it in Keith Moon’s voice. That doesn’t explain why I feel the desire to start that way. The answer to that is that I’m a weirdo. Sometimes things are simpler than […]

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 […]

Surge Protector

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 […]
