A Quest for Great Music

Yesterday did not start off well, my therapist canceled for the second time in a row. As I can get off on an insanity plea for the next week, I suggest you be very nice to me. I am very trusting that people will understand when I’m joking. Fortunately, my other mental health treatment, live […]

My Therapist is Leaving on a Jet Plane

I didn’t leave the house yesterday and I’m blogging anyway. I hope I don’t hurt my shoulder patting myself on the back. Of course, not leaving the house is a bad thing. As I was about to get ready to go shopping my phone rang and decided my mental health needed the call more than […]

Here’s something that renters everywhere, especially ones in New York can relate to. On Thursday, the spout in my bathtub fell off and won’t screw back on. I cannot shower without that as the water just comes out the bare pipe. The part that prevents that is in the spout. I immediately texted my landlord. […]

You know what happens when I let myself sleep late? I blog late. I need to try and not do that. Yesterday I had therapy and worked through my disappointment about not getting the job. My current theory is that it’s my therapists fault as she was thinking about losing me as a patient if […]

May The Circle Be Unbroken

Yesterday’s adventure was the penultimate Sunset Singing Circle. I had missed two weeks in a row, one week it wasn’t held and the next week I got sick; I needed my fix. Fred and I always eat at The View at Battery Park before the show; yesterday morning when I tried to make a reservation […]

The Singing Idiot

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Do you think EL&P would work on Gord’s Gold? I will take that dirty look as a no. Do I have Gentle Readers that have no idea what I’m talking about? It’s the Emerson, Lake, & Palmer song Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression Part 2. […]

Welcome to a rare late-night edition of Wise Madness. I used to do this all the time. I’m doing it now because I have fallen so far behind, Tonight I’ll write about Friday and tomorrow about today. We’ll leave the rest of the time since I last wrote as a mystery as it clearly wasn’t […]
