Heading for a Fall

I’m sitting here making myself depressed. That’s not good. Let’s see if blogging gets me out of this funk. For that to work I have to not write about what’s causing the funk. Can I get my brain to switch gears? Read on to find out. I’m writing on to find out. Let’s root for […]

Call Me Little Boy Blue

I’m here at home without TV, both TV sets are on the fritz. So why aren’t I writing? Despite all my therapy the imp of the perverse still has power over me; albeit less power than he had before therapy. Until I was 16, I thought albeit was pronounced all-bate and that there was an […]

Mental Health Downs and Ups

I can’t wait to blog tomorrow as I have my infusion in the morning, so I’ll put out a rare late evening edition of Wise Madness. There was a time when that was the norm, and this would be considered early. I’d get home at 1AM and then blog. I should get back to some […]

Prognosis Negative! Maybe I Mean Coronavirus

Yesterday’s adventure was walking to and from Aldi. That’s not that exciting but I did walk 4.42 miles and burned 480 calories. The hill coming home with all my groceries is the killer. It’s 157 feet high. What’s my idiot story? I know I had an idiot story. I guess that my idiot story is […]

The Way My Brain Works or Doesn’t

Let’s see if I’m awake enough to write. I’m working the polls on Tuesday; that means being there from 5 AM to about 10 PM. I’m planning on waking up around 4:15, that is much closer to when I usually go to sleep. I decided to spend the weekend shifting my internal clock. Usually I […]

I’m Walking Here

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 […]

Woe Be Gone I Saw Debi Smith

Yesterday’s adventure was seeing Debi Smith and Garrison Keillor at City Winery New York. That’s not how I wanted to start this, but all my English teachers taught me to put the most important idea in the first sentence. I like to work into things gradually. I got my assignment for Election Day; I’ll be […]

Health and Dreams; Who Leads Whom?

I have a busy day today so this will have to be short. Yesterday I went to in-person therapy. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize it till I got there but it was only a 30-minute session. The trip takes an hour and a half each way. On the bright side it’s good for my physical health, […]

Canine Comforting

I’m writing this while using my chair’s headrest. It is shaped exactly like a cat. It even purrs and triggers my cat allergy. I have to be very careful about not touching my eyes. Let’s see if she can help me write; What’s that you say? “Meow?’ I don’t think that’s the word I’m looking […]

A Cheesy Idiot Story

I’m supposed to be writing now. Writing that means I am. On Sunday night I was ready to go to sleep when I realized how preternaturally quiet it was; that called for a change of plans and recording Gord’s Gold during the window of quiet. I already had it all planned out and scripted. I […]
