Scene of a suicide

Same Site days Later
(Her name was 'Carmen'-she jumped!)
I plod along sans enthusiasm, with little bursts of energy if not
ardor. My rooms are dark almost all the time, curtained for the dubious
privacy I tell myself is true, a protective shield against the
writhing roiling world out there.
(Yippee, they've turned the heat on!)

And,
so it goes, having been sick since early in October, I've been dragging
myself through days and nights, sleeping more than is reasonable,
putting drops in my
new eye on schedule, rustling up some nutrition, watching movies,
listening to radio, taking short trips to the post (1. renew my Verizon
lifeline service
yearly, 2. ask again for record of my last visit to the eye doctor for
follow up exam since they sent me someone another clients in error),
stopping at
Housing Works thrift because the music always cheers me and
finding a CD to bring home, emails, face book excursions, reading blogs,
and general maintenance. A rigorous schedule don't you think? Ha
(Only eight days left for eye drops!)

News media Waiting on my Stoop

Democratic debates live on the Internet
(Good points but more like speed dating than debating)

East 20th Street
(another property for sale)
New on my Building Entrance door
(which is always broken)
So, with all this death, suicide, murder and the non-stop of construction, plus new neighbors every few months so I don't even bother to learn the names any more, I need a pick me up!
