A Monotonous Spew
Warning: The post is mainly a spew of me trying to figure stuff out. * I walk into the kitchen and go to the right side of the sink. In front of me, in a perfect line, I line up my green water glass on the left, my juice glass…
The Two Minds of Karin
Yesterday, I was on my after-lunch walk, heading south on Palatine, when I noticed up ahead of me, on 65th street, a march was going on. I froze. You see, I have issues with groups. PTSD actually. People in groups, shouting, being angry or violent, trigger my PTSD. It’s even…

Karin’s Quarantine Status
Hello my 3 readers! This post is mainly about my experience so far in terms of dealing with the coronavirus. If you don’t know what the coronavirus is, get yourself a Corona, and do some Googling. It’s the new thing going around. This post doesn’t have anything to do with…
