Like anyone in life, somedays I seem like a complete genius and other days I seem like a complete idiot. Since I’ve been running on three hours of sleep I’m sure you can imagine what I’m looking like these days. I’m happy to say I did not wake up this morning at 3am, but the […]

My Drunks and My Nuts
I went to an A.A. meeting this morning. I’ve been sober for over 4 years but this was my first meeting in a long, long, long time. Did I mention it’s been a long time? Too long. It’s no exaggeration to say that A.A. saved my life. If I hadn’t gotten sober I never would […]
It’s a Twister, It’s a Twister
I had a great night sleep last night. I woke up about every hour on the hour starting about 2am. Each time I wanted to get up and do some things but forced myself to go back to sleep. Sounds bad, but it felt good. At 5:45 I couldn’t take it anymore. I got my […]
A Gain and A Loss
I’m still like a giddy school girl. California enacting marriage equality yesterday has me dancing and twirling. I’m acting so gay. Btw, folks. Please start calling it “marriage equality” and not “gay marriage”, unless we all decide to start referring to “straight marriage” as well. Oh hell, call it whatever you want, I’m just damned […]
Tigger Mania
I came up with a new term I’ll share with my pdoc. I now can be depressed, manic or “Tigger manic”. If I had a tail I would have been bouncing around the apartment yesterday. I’m surprised I was able to type yesterdays post, which I’m glad I did. Based on emails and comments, there […]
Hop On The Bus, Gus
A positive day for me. I haven’t been able to ride a bus alone for awhile. The past two times I did I got lost and was wandering the streets. Kind of like when I was a single gay man, but that’s a different story. We had couples therapy today and because of work Maurice […]
Rub-A-Dub-Dub, How I Hate The Tub
For many, this will fall under the category of TMI, but I hate to bathe. As a teen, even when very depressed, I still spent 15 – 30 minutes in the shower. But now it’s hard to drag my ass in there. I’ve talked with people who say they have the same problem when they […]
I KANT SPEL
I won the 5th grade spelling bee. Of course, it’s one of my proudest achievements in life. I continued to be a very good speller up until now. Suddenly over the past couple of months I’m having a strange problem with my spelling. Suddenly I’m spelling words like they sound. Today I caught myself spelling […]
Tremors
Californians really don’t think about earthquakes that much. Tremors occur every day, but most are too small to feel. The last one that Maurice and I felt was about two months ago. It threw us both up out of our chairs for a second but that was it. Not much. The only other one I […]
A Mellow Med Change
I saw my psychiatrist yesterday. I hear many horror stories about people that hate their pdoc (slang for psychiatrist). I feel blessed because I adore mine. We work as a team rather than her just handing me pills. We actually laugh a lot. Definitely Not the stereotype of what you view a psychiatric session is […]
