A Tale of Two Meals

Today will be a tale of meals and socializing. Yesterday I decided to splurge. My roommate and I ordered Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich Combos and had them delivered. I know I love my cooking and I love to cook but this was a nice change of pace with no cleanup. I hate cleanup. The sandwiches really […]

The Road to Hadestown Has Too Many People Not Wearing Masks

Yesterday I went on an expedition for coffee. I feel guilty about doing so but I am careful while I’m out. There was a screen between Marie and me. I made the expedition because I’m now addicted to Marie’s Coffee Roasters. I never asked if she was actually Marie but every time I’ve been there […]

Are You Me?

There’s a new ritual in New York. At 7PM people open their windows and show their appreciation to for those on the frontlines fighting the pandemic by cheering or clapping or making some sort of noise. This spread from Wuhan, just as the virus did. In times of crisis people want to connect no matter […]

Sensuality and Sad Beauty

I’ve been a bit down of late. I have all the time in the world and have skipped days writing. I have been recording Gord’s Gold. It’s my anxiety manifesting itself in new ways. I start and get anxious that I won’t be able to, and then I’m not able to. It’s classic performance anxiety. […]

I ❤️ New York

I should have started writing hours ago. Why didn’t I? I have even less initiative than usual. I have to fight that. No use beating myself up, let’s start writing. My victory today was calling to make an appointment for my next infusion. It’s due a week from Saturday. I wasn’t even sure if I […]

Easter aka The Return of the King

Oh no, my therapy session is canceled for Good Friday. Now sure I could kill someone and win on an insanity defense, but I don’t want to kill anyone. I’ll have to find another silver lining. I did; it gives me time to leave the house. I’ve been very good about isolating but I need […]

Chaos for Pesach

I have things to write about today. Is that enough or do you want the details? You guys are so demanding. Fine, I can’t say no to My Gentle Readers. Last night we had the Seder, so I had to prepare for Pesach (Passover). No, I didn’t burn the chametz. I still have plenty of […]

Journey to the Sixth Floor

Today’s expedition was vertical, all the way to the 6th floor. I live on the second. Yesterday when I came home carrying my eggs and other things I bought at the grocery store I found two Amazon packages in the mail room. I was expecting two Amazon packages. Because I was carrying things and wearing […]

Dunned by Own Kruger

I went on an expedition today, two whole blocks to the supermarket because I was out of eggs. I wore the band new mask that my roommate made me. This is how I look, like some sort of crazed criminal. I wasn’t wearing my reading glasses so I couldn’t see how I looked. It was […]

Blame Jack Hardy

My tummy isn’t happy this morning. I wonder if the beef gravy for my poutine was in the fridge too long. Each container is enough for three dinners but as much as I love poutine I don’t want it every night. I try to space it out over a week; maybe this was longer. At […]
