Wise Madness
Yesterday I took a trip to Ithilien, the Garden of Gondor, where Frodo and Sam ate herbs and stewed rabbit and met Faramir. That’s how I always think of the New York Botanical Garden; when I walk through the gate I become a hobbit. The NYBG is just a short walk from my house but […]
Blogging daily isn’t a habit yet but it’s getting there; it’s part of my effort at self-care. Yesterday I returned to another element of what used to be my daily routine, I took a walk. My plan was to go to the New York Botanical Garden. When I got there, I discovered it was closed […]
I’m blogging two days in a row; stop the presses! Today I had my dream come true, I became a real human boy! Huh? Did Gordon totally lose it? He thinks he’s Pinocchio? Don’t worry, I’m speaking metaphorically. Some time in July, I don’t know exactly when I lost my wallet. As I hardly ever […]
It’s taken me a long time but at least I’m writing today. I’ve been in a weird social space. Since I got together with so many friends on Wednesday I have not spoken to a soul since until today and that was talking to strangers. I have not left the house much either except to […]
I was going to record Gord’s Gold but there’s a riveter banging out across the street. That is not conducive to recording. It’s also not conducive to writing but at least it doesn’t totally preclude it. Yesterday I went to another Met game, they were playing the Marlins. You might have noticed that I’ve been […]
Where did the day go? Part of it went into laundry. The thing is I have to go out soon and I didn’t write yesterday and I had a busy day on Tuesday. I just discovered that the New York Botanical Garden is free for Bronx residents. I’m a Bronx resident that loves nature and […]
How am I not blogging every day? I talked to my psychiatrist on Thursday and didn’t mention that. I’ll have to bring it up with my therapist. I know the world is not eagerly awaiting my blog every day but I am. It’s a sign that something is not quite right with me. OK fine, […]
I wimped out on my walk yesterday. Winter ignored the calendar and came back yesterday. I saw that the feels-like temperature was 19º. I was OK with that. It just meant getting out the cold-weather gear I thought I was done with for the year. I grabbed some shopping bags and started on the two-mile […]
I just resisted the urge to eat first and decided to blog. That’s a good thing. I didn’t write yesterday. Yesterday morning I got a call from my favorite receptionist at the hospital I get my therapy. She did not call because she missed me. She called to tell me that therapy was canceled. She […]
So, what’s new? I am going to have a middle school teaching interview next week. I gave them my availability and I’m waiting for them to give me a time. It is of course someplace inconvenient, Canarsie. If I get the job, I will have to move someplace on the L line. That makes it […]
