Eight years ago

Eight years ago, my article for the New York Times was published (https://archive.nytimes.com/opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/09/08/love-hate-and-suicide/?_r=0)

It was a very proud moment for me. I felt I made it as a writer. It was fitting it was published during Suicide Prevention Month, which is September. This is why I wanted to publish my review before September ended.

I am not having a good day. I woke up a few times with severe headaches. And then while eating my lunch, I felt some food get stuck. It wasn’t but it felt like it. I didn’t choke though. I thought no one was home but my nephew was. It freaked me out some. I shouldn’t have cooked the burger so much but I kind of forgot about it as it was cooking so it dried out. Still feels like something is stuck but I am not having a problem swallowing. I think it is just a phantom sensation.

I think I am going to try and go out tomorrow. I have no more cream for my coffee. I haven’t left the house all week. I need to shower but I don’t think it will be today. I am too tired to try. I made a mistake the last time I showered while tired and nearly slipped and fell. I don’t get the new mat until next week when I get paid. I just want to nap. Think I might.
