I’m still not writing every day and that’s not good. Do I remember anything that happened since I last wrote? I made a life-changing discovery a few days ago. Aldi now carries Irish bangers! Guess what I had for dinner that night? You are so smart; you knew it was bangers & mash. I’m having […]

This morning was unusual; I did not wake up from uneasy dreams, though as per usual I did find myself transformed into a giant vermin. Don’t worry that goes away after my first cup of coffee. To be honest that was yesterday morning. As I was walking, I planned that opening, then for reasons unknown […]
I’m doing something foolish. I’m writing this while watching NASA TV; the Perseverance rover is landing on Mars. There’s nothing to see but simulations but I’m still enthralled. Sputnik was launched two and a half months after I was born. I’m the same age as the Space Age. Spaceflight is in my cohort. The parachute […]
Nocebo
Yesterday’s outing was to the pharmacy to pick up my new anti-anxiety med, Buspirone. It takes a while for it to build up in the system so it’s too early to see if it helps. While on the prescription pick up line I had an unfortunate encounter with the person behind me. They mark off […]
Today you get to hear about my MRI, isn’t that exciting? It actually is, it’s amazing technology. I feel like I’m living in the future when I get one. There is prep involved that isn’t pleasant but was much better than I remembered it. Four hours before the procedure I had to take two teaspoons […]
I stayed in and did nothing exciting yesterday. I’ve done nothing exciting today. I need eggs so it looks like I’ll go out tomorrow. Now that I have to pay for the bus going to Aldi and Stop & Shop I might end up going to the more expensive local store more often. Homework for […]
The Final Frontier
Yesterday I did something I haven’t done in years; I watched a space launch. It’s been almost 9 years since America last launched people into space. It felt so good to be back. I was born in 1957, the year of Sputnik. The Space Age is my age. I watched Alan Shepard’s launch when I […]
Is this an idiot story? This morning after breakfast I started feeling the bloat of a Crohn’s attack coming on. Then it got better. Then ate way too many sweets. Now my tummy feels bloated again. Yes, that counts as an idiot story. I hope I feel up to eating dinner later. I ate breakfast […]
So much for posting in the morning. Can I use the excuse that I had therapy at 11 AM? I could. It’s true that I did. What is not demonstrated is that I would have if I hadn’t had therapy. If everyone understood that without effort the world would be a better place. Does that […]
I can either write something now or call someone. As I’ll be zooming later I’ll opt for writing. The question is which is more stressful, deciding who to call or deciding what to write? This is going to be one of those, I don’t care if anyone likes it, I want to write it entries. […]
