I might have felt bad for seeing this post nearly a week after the fact, but I blame it on my Long Covid. I can blame nearly everything on Long Covid. It's surprisingly handy that way.

Just today, I felt guilty for reading a book instead of being productive even though I was doing the laundry but that's just one chore. I felt bad for putting down the book and watching Outlander on Netflix instead. I felt bad for leaving folded laundry on the bed so that I have an excuse not to make the bed yet. I felt bad for putting a crummy looking story on my Instagram about my Substack article today. I feel bad for mentioning it here because it feels self-serving. I feel bad that I already bought your book and liked hearing your voice on the interview but haven't bought a print. And I feel bad that you'll feel bad that I did and didn't do those things.

Ha, and damn. Sounds like you've got as annoying a Brainy as mine. I suggest lots of weed.

Sad but hilarious. And you are reminding me of this favorite song, which I can't believe is now an oldie, but it absolutely is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zltRCMPqhNg

a timeless classic. I guess feeling pointless guilt's not a new problem.

Alas, I am old enough to remember when it was new . . . .

These are great! 👍🏽 I went on Etsy so you would feel less bad and I would feel less alone with my mood swings but sadly the prints don’t get shipped to the Netherlands? 🇳🇱

Please don't order just because you feel bad. But, if it will help with the mood swings, I'm sure I can get a print to you. Just DM me with your info.

I have purchased the book from amazon.com - the company of the smartest man in the world, his

logistics are incredible!! - and I am waiting with bated breath ( whatever that means - I ought to

ask Dr Google since I use the phrase al the time ) for it to arrive ... I am absolutely certain sure I

will love it : I love ALL your work, and your husband's also - I bought read and loved "Foreskiin "

when it first came out and have remembered every bit of it and I am of a great age now and have

forgotten almost everything I ever knew ...Kol ha Kavode !!!
