Yesterday was supposed to be a stay at home day but the post office delivered my coffee to the wrong apartment so I had to go out to get some. I’m spoiled when it comes to coffee, dealing with anything other than Ahrre’s is a hardship. I’m not running to the local store to get […]
Yesterday I went to my first wedding in almost two years; the nuptials of Seth and Emily. I often refer to Emily as my fiancée as I proposed the first time I met her. She made chocolate ganache, so it’s totally understandable. I had to buy a sport jacket and I promised you I’d post […]

(The Sea)²
Yesterday was my first full doubleheader since surgery; I went to therapy up in Harrison then to see The Sea The Seat at Spiral Sounds Concerts in Jersey City. That involved a lot of traveling, I knew it would be pushing my body. The trip to therapy went smoothly. I made the bus that takes […]
Every day when I start writing part of me wants to go back to sleep. I’m used to being the energizer bunny. This will pass but until it does writing will be difficult. I tried staying in bed longer today. There is an improvement as I am quickly falling back to sleep again, but I’m […]

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 […]
Yesterday’s adventure was going to the surgeon. As a change of pace the trip there went smoothly. I had no long waits for the train or bus and both had clear sailing. That meant I arrived at the office early. There are two possible directions the nurse can come from to get me; they are […]
Last night I had the longest outing since my surgery; I went to the Mets – Nationals game. My body held up pretty well. I’m far from full strength but I can get by. As part of the Mets’ poor treatment of fans they now won’t allow backpacks at Citi Field. No explanation was given […]

The Game of the Game of Thrones
The biggest challenge since getting out of the hospital is staying awake. I just realized that I didn’t use a nasal strip last night, that doesn’t help at all. Sleep is precious. Yesterday was an official day off from pushing myself. I had one outing, I went to the drug store to pick up a […]

Expedition to Hastings
I went to the Common Ground Coffeehouse last night to see Joshua Garcia, Lisa Bastoni, and Vincent Cross. This was my first expedition to hear music since my surgery. My energy is still limited. I did not have the energy to write yesterday so I have to catch up on Friday too. My internal experiences […]

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 […]
