Album: Too Much Weekend goo.gl/uTzwcr Lyrics: The sky is cryin'.... Can't you see the tears roll down the street The sky is cryin'.... Can't you see the tears roll down the street I've been lookin' for my baby And I wonder where can she be I saw my baby early one morning She was walkin' on down the street I saw my baby early this morning She was walkin' on down the street You know it hurt me, hurt me so bad Made my poor heart skip a beat I've got a real real real real bad feelin' That my baby, she don't love me no more I've got a real real bad feelin' That my baby don't love me no more Well, this guy, this guy's been cryin' Can't you see the tears roll down my nose "The Sky Is Crying" is a song that has become a blues standard.It was written and recorded by Elmore James in 1959

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. –
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.


I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills
back
on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,
since I’m going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the
can of Pepsi I’d been drinking.

I’m going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the Pepsi aside
so that I don’t accidentally knock it over.

The Pepsi is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye–they need water.

I put the Pepsi on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I’ve been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I’m going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I’ll be looking for the remote,
but I won’t remember that it’s on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I’ll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day:
the car isn’t washed
the bills aren’t paid
there is a warm can of
Pepsi sitting on the counter
the flowers don’t have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can’t find the remote,
I can’t find my glasses,
and I don’t remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I’m really baffled because I know I was busy all the damn day,
and I’m really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,
and I’ll try to get some help for it,
but first I’ll check my e-mail….

Do me a favor.
Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I don’t remember who the hell I’ve sent it to.

Don’t laugh — if this isn’t you yet, your day is coming!!
I know I definitely have my moments!

Good morning. I feel unusually happy today. I decided to give up on worry for a while, that and well, go to an AA meeting. My absentia has not been doing me well. As the husband and I were arguing about something, I was like, "Wait a sec, I was not this stressed out during other periods of change in my life and etc.," and decided I'd better get right with my HP along with handouts, yoga, etc. I mean, there's no point freaking out (even about money) it's not as if it would do me one WHIT of good.

things are better today.

Mermaids and Dolphins in the Gowanus Canal

Dear Diary:

When the world is too much upon us,
And evil is merely banal,
Let’s you and I cruise the Gowanus,
The Gowanus, Gowanus Canal.

Shall we ride on a fiberglass kayak,
Or a rowboat, a sloop or canoe?
And though neither Venice nor Nyack,
Brooklyn will just have to do.

You will see how the water will shimmer,
And shine with a luminous glow.
You won’t even have a small glimmer,
Of what’s going on down below.

Where the sewage and sludge have colluded,
To bring down good people’s morale.
It’s putrid and poison, polluted —
That cesspool they call a canal.

But we can pretend that the bubbles,
From the chemical cocktails that seethe,
Are not any woes, any troubles,
Only mermaids and dolphins who breathe.

Ah, well.

When the world is too much upon us,
Be my friend, be my lover, my pal.
And let’s you and I cruise the Gowanus,
The Gowanus, Gowanus Canal.

— Lou Craft
