Yesterday was Friday and that means therapy. Does everyone look forward to therapy as much as I do? Is it good or bad that I enjoy it? I hope it’s good. The therapist does challenge me and give me homework. She helps even when I’m not at therapy. The two main ways I process my […]

It’s been four weeks and one day since my surgery. My body is not back to normal but I’m back to living my life and not taking it easy. Going out makes it a lot easier to write a blog about my life. Last night’s adventure was seeing Nobody’s Girl at Rockwood Music Hall. Nobody’s […]

Mystery of the Wax Museum
Last night I went to see David Wax Museum at Common Ground Coffeehouse in Hastings. I wanted to write about that first thing this morning but I couldn’t. I’m posting late today but I have a good excuse; I went to the ophthalmologist this morning and he dilated my eyes. I couldn’t see well enough […]
Here’s the headline right up there with dog bites man. I’m an idiot. Yesterday I had a 10:45 appointment with my ophthalmologist. It’s only 10 minutes away so easy to time. I was proud of myself as I signed in at exactly 10:45. There’s always a wait after you sign as they retrieve your records. […]

Katering to My Musical Taste
My plan for yesterday was to see the Stephani, Steph Jenkins backed by Stephie Coleman. Then Kaia Kater posted on Facebook that she needed somebody to merch for her at the New York Guitar Festival. As I so rarely see Kaia and she needed help I changed plans and headed down to Brookfield for the […]
I did things worth writing about yesterday. I went to see Emily Mure and the Young Novelist at Pete’s Candy Store. I love when my world fits together like a jigsaw puzzle. I love Emily as a musician and a person. I love Graydon and Laura as musicians and people. I know the independently of […]
I did not leave the house yesterday. While I always enjoy a day like that now and then this was more of a concession to my recovery from surgery. I’m tempted to say it had benefits; that the level of discomfort in my abdomen decreased significantly. I have to remind myself that such self-reporting is […]

(The Sea)²
Yesterday was my first full doubleheader since surgery; I went to therapy up in Harrison then to see The Sea The Seat at Spiral Sounds Concerts in Jersey City. That involved a lot of traveling, I knew it would be pushing my body. The trip to therapy went smoothly. I made the bus that takes […]

Expedition to Hastings
I went to the Common Ground Coffeehouse last night to see Joshua Garcia, Lisa Bastoni, and Vincent Cross. This was my first expedition to hear music since my surgery. My energy is still limited. I did not have the energy to write yesterday so I have to catch up on Friday too. My internal experiences […]
Now for the story of my hospitalization. I really should have taken notes; the timeline in my head does not quite work out. I don’t plan on this being a play by play so that shouldn’t be that much of a problem. When I was back in my room I was hooked up all over […]
