OK, so actually I am cultivating in myself unguarded optimism: straight-ahead, all-out, no-pants, face-in-the-wind optimism. This is the image that called to mind, yes? If not, feel free to thank me. Gratuities gratefully accepted. Because I find that, if I believe without reservation that I can make the future a better place for myself and those [...] So my difficulty with the trifling activity I like to call “breathing” continues. Yesterday, after trying to get in to see my doctor – whom I hadn’t been able to get in to see for a very long time, owing to colossal wait times (although since this is a pretty severe issue I might get seen [...] So, yeah. Well. Last night I made a scene at one of my favorite restaurants.

Along with life-threatening physical conditions (at least three, in fact) I was diagnosed as suffering from [...] Behold the terrible majesty that is … my new refrigerator! Don't be misled by the friendly flair – it's teh deadly! New to me, anyway. This is one of the things I was doing last week instead of blogging.
