General Tso has been nothing but nice to me

     Hi everyone, the secret messages are telling me to do another blog post to reassure everyone that I will take my psychiatric medicine later. Of course I will everyone. Don't say you were at the insurrection if you weren't really there.  Anyway I am about to go try to get some cash and then go get some Chinese food, which honestly could be a little bit awkward because it could seem like I am just stopping by because of the StopAsianHate campaign.  And maybe it will be taken as a gesture of politics but really I just like Chinese food and feel that my gallbladder can handle it after months of causing me to honestly not be even a minimally good neighbor during Covid for one of my favorite restaurants called Panda House.  Surely I could have ordered the dumplings a few more times or some wonton soup. I should definitely turn myself in to the authorities at CNN for that but so far will just plan to order the hot and sour soup, crab rangoons, and a certain kind of chicken that is probably not in network for my health insurance.

     Anyway I will also pass along a little joke from my friend who has cancer, which is that my friend said her medical people explained that she is "eating for two" now: herself and the cancer.  I think there could have been a better way to frame that but my friend really wanted me to have that joke for free so of course I will mention it for all my readers which actually probably even at this time includes some nice helpful people as well as legal sharks from Barnes and Noble who may soon be as excited as anyone else when I announce to everyone that I have hidden three hundred dollars in several random books at each Barnes and Noble in America.  Do you guys get that? It is like telling people to go rummage messily through all the books on the shelves, kind of like all the customers always do anyway. Well have a great day everyone, please take everything I say with a grain of salt and hopefully no MSG.

Swivel Chair Mayhem

    Hi everyone, I hope you are having a good day. I got a new cot and am having fewer hallucinations and more sleep.  So that is good.  I had to take some anxiety medicine and whenever I do, I think of people who have anxiety and don't believe in or know about psychiatric medicine and I feel sad for them because literally you can't breathe without anxiety medicine sometimes. That is why I think the religion problems in this country need to be addressed and the persecution of ignorant sad people from those more educated or just differently educated is not helping anyone. 

    Anyway that is not the main thing I am writing about today.  The main thing I am here to discuss is which swivel chair should I try to order once I get the stimulus check for 1400 dollars. For just part of that cash, I am thinking of buying one of these chairs for my newly cleared out apartment which I can also move to another location if I get approved for a housing situation designed for mentally ill people. I have high hopes for that and think that it will help me survive in NYC for a while longer and work as a peer counselor. I think I might try to get the green chair because it is more affordable or the yellow chair because it is on sale and might not be available later on. And it could be that in a new apartment I could try to collect all four eventually. Task chairs online start at about 60 dollars and go to a range of about $150 for a nice cool one and then higher than that for some that are almost like recliners and can cost up to 800 dollars.  That is a bit much for me but I think the idea of an upholstered swivel chair is great and can also be a way to sit low to the ground which I find to be comforting. 

     Anyway in some cultures people pay you to sit in a swivel chair and do work, but I have found myself to have drifted towards laying on a cot and talking to imaginary mice and rabbits.  So that is the new task is to figure out what to do about that.  Get it? "task," like "task chair."  It is worth googling and can be so fun to see all the designs.  Well have a great day everyone. This blog post reminds me of William Cowper's famous poem called "the Task."

tryouts for snack club

      Well everyone, it is Monday, March 1.  I just made a peanut butter pie at 8 o'clock in the morning. It turned out great and was really easy.  Yesterday I posted a video on facebook of a practice talk that I gave to a church youth group.  I didn't look that great in the video and had a hairdo problem but still posted it because I think what I said was exactly what I had to say in the exact way I first thought of it. I wrote a bunch of suicidal blog posts in the days preceding the talk, which was not that considerate, but I did stay out of the hospital to be there for the presentation so I think that was all I could do.  It was a nice day and my poetry went over well and best of all, the church liked my thoughts about cartoon animal friends in heaven, which is similar to something CS Lewis believed.  So that is a good sign.  

    I am thinking about starting a club of some kind.  I kind of want to use the keebler club crackers design as part of it but don't want it to have to do with race and "crackers" sometimes refers to bad whiteys.  But my club is going to be so basic.  It will be like a support group for getting through tough times, but also maybe will have some goals or even service project badges of some sort. I had an idea for a club called Eternal York recently that would be more religious.  But I think this club might be different. It could be called "Friend Club" or "Food Club," or "the Peanut Butter Mission." Ok I think that has some potential but there needs to be a goal for it. Is anyone else starting to crave peanut butter crackers? Ok, and Kool-Aid goes well with peanut butter crackers, so that is some progress in terms of snack plans.  Now I just need to work on the application process and create an online form.  Ok thanks everyone, see you at the yearly banquet where our guest speaker is probably going to be just a youtube video.
