“You’re On Your Own Now”

I got to bed before 2am last night. I had no trouble getting to sleep, but in part that was likely due to this being an Ambien night. I’ve been really good about not taking them every night, but the nights I do it works really well, so I do look forward to those nights. I woke up with a headache but it was raining and this is likely why.

I got up and had a smoothie. I’ve been having smoothies almost every day for at least a month and probably more. I replaced ice cream in my diet with these concoctions and I’m sure it’s been beneficial. I had some garlic bread last night but most of the day I snacked on blueberries, olives, nuts and seeds, with water and a smoothie. I think I might have had a yogurt as well. I still get potato chips now and again; I love the taste but I’ve noticed that I don’t enjoy how they make me feel, physically, which is new. I used to eat them every day. Now I get them maybe twice a month. All of which is to say that I think I’m probably healthier than I’ve been in a long while. That mixed with the therapeutic nature of this website (which I’ve been working on for about 20 days) + getting out a bit more than in the past, will surely have benefits to my life moving forward.

I uploaded some old LGBTQ movie reviews to the blog. Moving everything here is a lot of work and may well take me years, but there’s a great deal of satisfaction sharing things here that were either on a drive somewhere or only displayed on the increasingly toxic Facebook, which certainly gives me peace of mind.

It’s 11 am. I have TV to watch but I’m not really in the mood. I might work on the website some more, but I expect I’ll need a break soon. The rain stopped hours ago and the sun seems to be out. I just checked and it’s a lot cooler out than yesterday with a high of 64, but perhaps I’ll go for a walk. I haven’t been outside since Monday.

“No One Knows Anyone Else”

Yesterday was lazy. Partially because I woke up with a migraine due to the weather. I briefly played Mario Galaxy with Aaron, but I spent most of the day working on my website. I still struggle to find the right things to make everything look the way that I want it, so I’m constantly experimenting and learning, which is a lot more exhausting than I had hoped. Also, I added a visitor counter the other day and it said I had 40 some visitors yesterday. I assumed this was just me doing edits and being counted multiple times but signing in to write this it said I’d had 16 visitors today, so maybe people actually are already coming here. That was fast. I assumed it would take much longer for people to find me. But I hope whoever they are that they’re enjoying this place. I used to get such interesting e-mails from people all over, but I haven’t included any contact information here and I’ve disabled posts. I had a placeholder post or two when I tried to do this a few years ago and the mountains of spam I got were out of control, so I’d rather have nothing than that shit.

I slept really well. I had good dreams which I only vaguely remember. Aaron is getting ready and getting packed. He’s leaving for Los Angeles today and won’t be back for nearly a week.

Aaron clearly wants us to see the rerelease of Avengers: Endgame in September, which will feature new footage tied into Avengers: Doomsday. I’m interested in going too, which surprises me. I’ve hated going to movie theaters ever since cell phones started popping up everywhere. I get distracted by the smallest things and miss huge chunks of the movies I’ve paid to see. We’ve had a few good experiences in the last few years, but none of them have been in Manhattan. Thankfully we have a car and live close to New Jersey.

I will likely work on getting some of my Marvel themed stuff online today. But honestly there are million more things to do. I still have at least 1,000 poems to upload, which will be even longer if I do artwork for all of them. We’ll see.

When I woke up in was in the high 30s, which is a bit chilly. It was 85 last week. It should be in the low 50s later. I’ll probably go get some food around that time. Until then I should have a smoothie.

I used to think it was quite sad that nobody ever really knows anyone else, but I think in the long run that it might actually be for the better. Time to move.

Oh! And I need to message my friend Nicole back! She texted me the other day and asked me some questions but I hate typing long messages on my phone. lol I’ll do that ASAP.
