not much sleep last night… managed to hang on to one moment of a dream with a cat putting its front paws on my thighs as it stood on its hind legs w/ a danger of a door being shut on its tail… perhaps why i woke, or remember…

but still miss #DexterFishpaw 😻

one of the worst impacts of #TMS 🧠⚡️🧲 treatment has been not being able to retain my dreams as i used to…

which makes me worry about dementia which is being exacerbated by my isolation…

what a mess 😩

enjoyed watching Bunny and the Bull, particularly the set design, animation, world-bending aspects…

& hey! casual male nudity

would be nice if grief-trauma agoraphobia could be wrapped up so neatly, but as britcoms go it wasn't insensitive though not necessarily the focus

so, knells the death bell for Prism Health

“As part of Cascade AIDS Project (CAP), we’re refreshing our brand…”

after losing #MentalHealth services and, as of last month, my doctor — i do not think this bodes well for my being.

marketing [ie refreshing the brand] isn't going to solve my need for access to #Healthcare

cut staff & eliminate services — repackaged to save a few high admin jobs/CEO pay

thanks america

while in the grocery store, on the loud overhead speakers, ONJ sings Xanadu

& i instantly want roller skates to pop from my shoes, blast everyone in rainbow juice as i escape with all of the food that i can't afford

society is really sending out the ‘kill yourself or we will do it for you in the most painful way possible’ message

and i do no appreciate it

really, i'm having trouble finding things to watch…

thought i'd rewatch a very 90s bbc dramedy… 2 unconnected episodes have dealt with suicide with various dramatic interventions… of the sort that would never happen…

i can barely watch anything w/o crying & i can only tolerate so much bad dialog & contrivance… i'm in a fast forward or turn it off mood

where has the good fluff gone…

strange i think it's ‘too late in the day to leave the apt’ & not that late

i don't want to deal with the post 9-5 crowd

meant to go out when it was much cooler this am… i need some food, but will likely go without. early to bed? idk.

not much real progress on art… phutzing on bits… concentration or desire [& lack thereof]?

i need distraction from this dystopia & more #Gay #Queer content on my timeline

6 mo. follow up is upon me & i'm not really wanting to make the appt.

circumstances in my life haven't changed.

since #TMS it's more difficult to remember dreams. otherwise, 🤷🏽

do i want to go through treatment again? 🤷🏽

having been through it i'm less hopeful than last year. so my depression asks what's the point?

ugh. sigh. blergh.

Lana would be 51 today… & i would like to be harassing her about getting old; shaking our fists to the sky & canes at the youngins from our front porch…

of course, she would then remind me i am still older than her…

i once told her that i wanted to die first, knowing i wouldn't be able to cope without her. & it is too true, my life has collapsed in grief. i miss her beyond belief.

titled: ‘Lana & Me’ 

a pair of empty red deck chairs sit on a porch overlooking nehalem bay in wheeler, oregon. in the distance, mountains and trees are obscured by clouds and misty fog. the foreground is bright with long shadows of a rising sun.

i sent this photo to Lana Dyer, captioned ‘you & me’. 

i planned for her to spend her birthday weekend with me here the following year. unexpectedly, Lana died two weeks prior to her visit.a solitary deck chair on a deck overlooks nehalem bay in wheeler oregon. the sky is overcast. shadows are flat and colors muted & grey. this photo is framed similarly, and from the same perspective as ‘Lana & Me’ taken one year prior.

i kept plans that i had made to spend with Lana on her birthday weekend. this photo is from that trip.
