Wise MadnessI’ve had a rough health day. I slept until 11:20 and my stomach didn’t feel right. I didn’t eat until 2:00 and then I fell asleep for a few more hours. My guess is that this is another manifestation of my Crohn’s even though I have no active inflammation. I know that as my MRI […]
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 […]
I’ve been unhappy with my procrastination. I’m forcing myself to write this. I didn’t write yesterday. My therapist called me to cancel. I love therapy and need a session but part of me is happy as that means not having to fess up on the things I didn’t do. Notice that I’m not telling you […]
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 […]
Great, I’m posting later and later. Now it’s 10:32. There was a time that I’d write when I got home which was often well after midnight. Thanks to COVID-19 I turn into a pumpkin at 1 AM when the subway stops running. I have no excuse for waiting so long to write today. I could […]
I’m having a bad mental health day. I’m stuck in neutral. Let’s see if writing snaps me out of it. Perhaps writing is a form of procrastination and so making things worse. Tomorrow I have therapy. I’ve been like this since last night. It’s not quite depression and not quite anxiety. I might have to […]
I went out and did exciting things yesterday, at least by pandemic standards. I should be champing at the bit to write yet I’ve waiting till the afternoon. It is now half an hour since I wrote that. My bit is unchamped. I did some research. The original idiom was “champ at the bit.” The […]
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 […]
I hate when I fall behind in blogging. I didn’t blog yesterday but today I’m busy watching the Philadelphia Folk Festival. I was fortunate enough to have a friend gift me a ticket for today. This is where Gordon Privilege come in. I’m uncomfortable with most uses of “privilege.” Being treated the way everyone should […]
Sorry that I’ve been MIA since Monday. I had a bad week; to which you should respond, “If you had a bad week why should I suffer?” Anyone know where that’s from? What if I told you it was said by Menachem the beggar? Yes, that’s right, it’s from Fiddler on the Roof. It’s in […]
