O Frabjous Day! Callooh! Callay!

I had today’s blog all planned, it was about breathing. With apologies to Alice Hasen, who gets a shout-out, that will have to wait until tomorrow. Today is not about breathing but about a nation breathing free. It’s taken a while to sink in. Nothing substantial has changed since yesterday, the inevitable happened and decision […]

Good Win and Good Winners

I had therapy today for the first time in two weeks. For the most part I reported progress I made. That can make blogging more difficult. I’m working on not calling people idiots; that’s like quitting smoking in tobacco shop. I can still call myself an idiot, I often do. Do I have any idiot […]

We’re The People

I had another day sleeping too much and another day where my tummy isn’t right. I suspect those two things are correlated. I’m seeing my GI in a few weeks and I’ll ask him about it. But that’s not what I’m here to talk about, I’m here to talk about the draft. No, that’s Arlo. […]

It’s Not Politics

Yesterday I found buried treasure, shaved beef at the bottom of the meat bin in the freezer. I dug for it because I suspected it might be there. That meant I had Philadelphia cheesesteak for dinner. I had to improvise as I had no hero rolls, I substituted a mini-naan. It looked something like a […]

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 […]

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 […]

My procrastination is getting worse, not better. I haven’t written in days. I spent yesterday’s therapy session on this, and it didn’t help. I wrote that sentence then spent 30 minutes on Facebook. This is getting worse. I’m going to procrastinate again, but this time with a purpose. I’ll be back after I meditate. I […]

Vote!

I just filled out my absentee ballot, put in the inner envelope, sealed, signed, and dated it, and properly put it in the out envelope with the bar code showing in the window. I still have to stamp and mail it. I’m crossing on the t’s and dotting all the i’s. I’ll mail it today […]

Sometimes Nothing Is a Real Cool Hand

I’ll get right to my health. The obstruction cleared last night after I went to bed. I’m not out of the woods yet which is proved by me writing this instead of eating. I haven’t eaten in 60 hours; I should be starving. I will eat something as soon as I’m finished writing. I’ll have […]

Justice for All

Like so many others my thoughts today are dominated by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I feel that I should write about her, but I feel that I’m not qualified to write about her. If you want to learn about her life and importance of her work there are far better sources than me. […]
