Two-Time Loser

Fridays always start the same, I go to therapy. The highlight of the session was when my therapist said I was a “a little bit of a sociopath.” She then added, “You’re going to put that in your blog, aren’t you?” I can’t disappoint us. I have an unusual relationship with my therapist. I think […]

Is it a Good Omen that I write about two things involving hell?

My plan for yesterday was to stay home and let my body heal. I’ve had pain from the surgery and even more from arthritis in my back. It proved an excellent plan. It was the first day in weeks that I didn’t need to take acetaminophen. I’m still not 100% but I made significant progress. […]

Katering to My Musical Taste

My plan for yesterday was to see the Stephani, Steph Jenkins backed by Stephie Coleman. Then Kaia Kater posted on Facebook that she needed somebody to merch for her at the New York Guitar Festival. As I so rarely see Kaia and she needed help I changed plans and headed down to Brookfield for the […]

Impeachment and Cats

I ended up staying in last night. Just as I was making my final decision it started pouring. I hate being a wimp but I stayed home. I was going to see Miss Tess at Rockwood and part of what put me on the fence was the cost. Today she announced that she is doing […]

Informed

My sleep schedule is still shot to hell. I woke up at 5:20 AM and stayed awake for an hour or so. Then I slept again until 10:40. I would like just once to go to sleep at midnight and wake up at 8 AM like I plan. It makes the rest of the day […]

Bad Will from Goodwill

Yesterday was frustrating. I need a suit, a don’t have much money, so I decided to go to Goodwill. I went to the Goodwill website and found their closest store in the Bronx. It wasn’t that easy to get to, a 38-minute two-train trip. I made the trip and what did I find? The store […]

Walk the Line

Yesterday I went on my first post-surgical expedition, my psychiatrist in Harrison. Instead of the mile walk to the Metro North station I went via subway and bus. That’s actually faster but the timing doesn’t work out so I have to leave earlier. So I left earlier. The subway went without a hitch, the bus […]

Up Nickel Creek Without a Paddle

Did you notice that I was hardly online yesterday and didn’t even blog? That’s because I was too sick to use my computer for very long. I had an old school Crohn’s attack. That’s a very different experience than I’ve had the last 20 years. This was not about an obstruction in my intestines, at […]

Why Do We Love “Why Do We Build The Wall.”

I woke up before seven this morning and did not go back to bed. I never do that. It might have something to do with the fact that I fell asleep watching TV around ten last night. I have an alarm on my phone that goes off at midnight to remind me to go to […]

Are We There Yet? The Drive is Over.

Today’s the last day of the WFUV member drive. My last day of waking up at an ungodly hour. My alarm went off at 5 AM, instead of taking my meds and popping out of bed, i rolled over and went back to sleep. When I woke up i was afraid i was going to be late […]
