please not again


Those 2 spikes are when I woke up
Throwing up. Brown dried black blood. 


First you’re a Blood. 
Then,  you’re a Crypt 
Solved it. 
I can’t have this ever again. 
Nothing is worth this. 
It’s like eating glass. 


I tell my kids that half of change 
Is passive.- in the sense that you 
don’t have to DO anything but STOP
Doing the problematic things. 
Just stop. Just don’t to it. 
Simple. Not easy. 

I had one shot of whiskey to celebrate 
The New Year. And it tore me up. 
Literally. Like glass inside me. 








I even Googled “Listeria”
Because I had some bagged salad. 


Nope. Not listeria. 
Anne-eria is what I have. 
I put cheap gas in the tank. 
And it’s costly. 

So I  graded my PPI
And within an hour I was better. 
However, there wasn’t much to come up. 
It was already out. 

Never again will I work 7 days. 
It’s just not worth it. 
Nurses are dropping off like flies. 
So many sick. 
It’s like a war. Covid is worse than a war. 
Because at least soldiers are trained. 
And they get their shot and wear their masks. 
These Texas assholes no
Cuz’Murica!
Muh Rights! 
And off they go to Walmart 
To spread this bug.

New Year’s Eve






The Garden of Earthly Delights 
Bosch 






Homo Incurvatus Se
Always looking inward/ not outward 
Toward service of others. 
A heard a fascinating documentary
On this Triptych. On YouTube. 


2 years ago, I ended up being sick. 
Pete and I had Chinese Food. 
And I was sick within a few hours. 
A few days later, 
I went to the ER. 
I was close to death, 
And my (deceased) Mother
Came down from the ceiling
And held out her hand,
And said “Anne-
It’s time to come with me!” 

I had a fever and couldn’t eat or drink. 
Plus I passed a kidney stone! 

Looking back, the doctors think it was covid. 
Long before covid before it had a name. 
Which is why I had such a strong reaction 
To my vaccine.
It was then  I ended up in hospital 
For 5 days! Such inflammation. 

Now, 1 in 4 have Covid in Texas. 
We had 2 nurses call out sick. 
Both with Covid exposure. 
My 100 hours went  waaaaay up! 

I don’t know if my 3 Pfizer shots
Have given me immunity/
Along with previous exposure. 
But I am fine. Excellent, even. 

Diet is spot on. 
Walking more than ever. 
Attitude A+
My car is a mess. 
But that’s not new. 

Goodbye 2021
And good riddance! 
Goodbye plague! 
Back to health. Please! 
Our world is ready.

Up down all around 




Take your vaccine. 
They’re bringing back
The Iron Lung. 
Just for covid. 
You don’t want this. 


From 2018. 
And 2019. And 2020
And now 2021. 


I’m a You Tuber  now! 


He’s not wrong! 


Having this kid do some art. 
Forget houses and pretty ponies. 
This is The Music Man. 


Godspell


West Side Story 
Go girl! 


My salad. 
I should weigh about 100 pounds. 
Weight loss makes no sense at times. 




High Flyer. 
I borrowed the title from a Mitch Markovich
Snare Drum solo, of the same name. 

Mitch was my teacher for years 
In college. He’s the father of 
Modern Drumming. 





So I’ve been waiting to have caffeine 
Till about 8 am. 
And I get up at 5 am. 
I wanted to give my body a chance
To make its own adrenaline. 
Seems to be working. 

Also this supplement-
Fulvic Acid. 
I responded quite well to it. 
Tons of energy and I wake up better. 

And I have my coffee at work 
When I start my charting.
