He took off his black RUSH concert shirt. Gave it to the lady, “Here”. She began to dab my head with it. My voice left me. I was unable to yell, “NO! I don’t want sweaty rocker sweat in my open wound!” but I thought it. She ignored all basic first aid protocols, using a crossing motion, and she baptized me in the name of Lee, Peart, and Lifeson. Brushing off blood and gravel from my face.

My Trick Knee
Menopause, the pandemic, and a bike accident keep me guessing about my health. Meanwhile, dreaming of life in Cyberpunk’s 2077 when a body replacement comes to the best of thieves.

Day 53: Thinking to Much
https://youtu.be/CCxXDaadSx8 Shower Thoughts: If you were invisible, you’d be effectively blind since light would pass through your retina rather than striking it. This morning I am writing from my bed-desk. I’m thinking about the parts of me that need a shower and weighing that against the effort to leave my warm bed. The bedroom windowContinueContinue reading “Day 53: Thinking to Much”
Day 47: Plague and Pestilence
https://youtu.be/jMLq2hSWpq8 Shower Thoughts: Vehicles today can surf the web, link to your phone, stream music and videos, etc.. but they still can’t perform a simple database lookup to tell you what the check engine light is on for. Good morning. How ya’ doing today? Are you up with the birds like me? If so imagineContinueContinue reading “Day 47: Plague and Pestilence”
Day 27: Not Normal
https://youtu.be/gAaHNYxkS_E If it wasn’t for the news I could believe this was a normal day in April. The sun is lower now, a quick glance at the clock and confirm 5:11 p.m. Most families will be off the trail, heading home for dinner. It’s a good time for a walk around the lake. Coming upContinueContinue reading “Day 27: Not Normal”
Day 22: It’s All Good
https://youtu.be/ZHBjA7TWvtM Today felt like a normal day. The middle of the week is busy-time. Busy-time is my normal. I can’t help myself. Perhaps, one day, I’ll be a free spirit like the porta potties in the video–blowing in the wind–but hopefully, I won’t be full of shit. hahahahaa! Well, maybe a little. 1) an observedContinueContinue reading “Day 22: It’s All Good”
Day 18: Little Cuties
https://youtu.be/3rzFgBlj8m4 Yesterday my daughter’s gift arrived! It is a beautiful hand-sewn mask by a fabric artist who lives near my daughter on San Juan Island, Washington. Here is the photo I took to share with you. Placed my breakfast inside to simulate a nose. I love the little cutie tangerines that come in mesh bagsContinueContinue reading “Day 18: Little Cuties”
Day 17: New Normal
https://youtu.be/1HHDvYNbZ9U Yesterday I did not journal. After early coffee and breakfast, I hit the ground running with work, both at home, zooming, and on sites, and went grocery shopping. When the day ended I watched some “Outlander” and went to bed early. Out And About Must admit, it was nice to get out and driveContinueContinue reading “Day 17: New Normal”
Day 15: Digging In
https://youtu.be/E9hIzj0C9v4 Being honest today I feel suspicious of the pandemic reactions, specifically in the United States and specifically regarding our political & medical leaders. I live in a country that has some devastating statistics about citizens’ premature, preventable deaths. Cigarette smoking is responsible for over 480,000 deaths a year, including 41,000 deaths resulting from second-handContinueContinue reading “Day 15: Digging In”
