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 […]

Sadly, I didn’t post yesterday. Not that I had something exciting to write about but I’m trying to get back to writing every day, even if the entry is short. I even talked about that in therapy. Then I didn’t do it. I did get out to go shopping. I was disappointed to find that […]
I should have left the house the last two days. Not because there was anything I particularly needed to do. Not because I needed the exercise, not because I needed the fresh air. I needed the change of scenery to reset my mind. I’m having a bad attack of holier than thou. I was planning […]
A miracle, I got myself to write in the morning. I’m always supposed to write in the morning. Not only that but I already created the Facebook event for the next John Platt’s On Your Radar and put away the dishes from the drying rack. I’m all sorts of productive today and this is before […]

Everybody Knows Part 1
I have done nothing interesting since I last blogged. Not quite true as I had poutine for dinner and poutine is always interesting. I wasn’t planning on it, but the chicken hadn’t defrosted, and I don’t have defrost a potato. Can you eat a potato after it’s been frozen? I think the protagonist of The […]
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 […]

Air on a Conditioner
I accomplished something today. After suffering for weeks, I put in the air conditioners! It took me all this time to overcome my anxiety and ask the super to send someone up to install them. The guy never came. Then I realized, the reason I needed someone to do this kind of thing for me […]
I got two phone calls today which slowed me down. Since the day before my birthday I’ve gotten so many calls that I haven’t felt the need to call anyone. There are specific people that I want to talk to, but I’m all talked out. This is a good problem to have. The seal on […]
Happy Independence Day! Like half my friends I started celebrating a day early by watching Hamilton. It’s as good a celebration of America as there is. Want to say something good about America? It produced Lin-Manuel Miranda. He combines serious history, with brilliant music. People notice the rap, but there’s so much more. There are […]
I’m in an odd emotional space. I’ve been angry at much of what I’m hearing from people. I’m not talking about the news; I’m talking social media. It’s not all political. As I’ve said I don’t like being angry. I try to calm myself. I remind myself that it’s not my job to correct everyone […]
