Goodbye, Facebook!

1/26/21

Yesterday I deactivated my Facebook account.  I usually spend hours scrolling through my 2500+ friends’ posts, reacting, posting comments, so this is a big deal to me.  I did this to see what will happen.  Also, I’ve been feeling poorly these days, even before I got my Covid immunization, which made me feel a huge amount of fatigue.  I took to my bed for a couple days.  

I felt depressed, so I reached out to my excellent psychiatrist, a football fan, my coach.  He responded with a prescription for an amazingly expensive pill that worked well for me before.  I have a followup appointment in three weeks.

Even getting a speedy reply to my phone message has made me feel pretty good.

Here are the usual photographs from my morning routine with Gunther, the love of Penny and my lives.  

Our 50th anniversary is this Saturday.  I bought her a ring and pair of earrings, festooned with Yogo sapphires.  I believe we will stay home, Covid-style.  And go to bed early, 71-year-olds.

I hope to add to this narrative in a regular fashion.

I’m reading The Periodic Table, by Primo Levi; and 600 Generations, by Carl Davis.  I recommend both, especially the one by Carl Davis, a new work about the archaeology of ancient people in Montana.
