PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Pounding Headache

Things that do not go well with pounding headaches ...

drilling -- constant louding construction drilling -- underfoot;
pounding from dancers above;
bright lights - sun and florescents;
computer monitors;
loud ringing phones;
subway noises;
keeping eyes open.

Methods of medication tried:
caffeine - Dt. Coke -- lots
chocolate, again -- lots
eating -- breakfast, and lunch, and a whole orange to boot
lots of Advil
sunglasses
turning off phone
typing with eyes closed

Nothings working ... I'd almost say it was a migrane -- but I've actually had one with the halo effect and I have no halo at present.

:(

Suggestions from others?

If I just hadn't come back from vacation, I'd want to leave NOW!

Picture this: a nice black sleeping mask, for the eyes, and either some big earmuffs or those old HUGH headphones, for the ears. If none of these items are available get the heck out of there.
