Marrow and Books

Tomorrow morning I’ll have bloodwork done for a bone marrow donation I’m doing next week. This seemed a reasonable thing to do when I first agreed to it about six months ago. Now that the date is closer, I’m nervous. I’ve been relatively assured that the procedure isn’t as painful as it used to be, which isn’t much consolation since I have no previous experience.

What I’m reading, recommended by Gitterman, et al: Another Bullshit Night in Suck City by Nick Flynn. A thoughtful look at homelessness, drug addiction, alcoholism, and family patterns, told, thus far, in present tense as it skips back and forth from year to year, generation to generation. More thoughts on it to come, but do rush out and get it so we can read it together. A fine piece of writing.

Hanging by an Antenna

Driving toward the uptown campus, there was commotion on the side of the road. Claiborne Avenue. I slowed down and discovered an old fisherman, who must have been twelve feet tall, well wrinkled and with a huge smile, standing on the side of the road holding one of the largest shrimp I’ve ever seen by its antenna. After I passed him, there was a barely younger fishing partner with a wonderful floppy fishing hat, standing in the back of a pickup truck, leaning over traffic, also holding a shrimp by its antenna and yelling JUMBO SHRIMP, FIVE DOLLAS A POUND!

Fact: I like to read while using the elliptical machines at the gym. Usual fare: The New York Times Magazine. Tonight’s fare: Issue 32:2 of The New Orleans Review. A particularly good poem: “Selling Out” by Natasha Marin. A few of her lines: “Someone told me, you had / to take off your shoes and walk barefoot / for the Revolution. They said that the Revolution / makes you stop watching TV and start / working on the weekends.”

And on that note, I mention one of my favorite projects at work. I don’t often blog about work, but today I’m linking to the most recent issue of Global Health, of which I am editor, and which won first place in a Press Club of New Orleans competition this summer.

Two and a Half Hours Later

After tossing and turning, I finally got out of bed and made a cup of dreadful Thera-Flu. I’m stuffy, congested, puffy eyed, and monkey-minded. I wanted a cup of Thera-Flu like I wanted the plague, especially since it tastes like a terribly prolonged serving of Robitussin, circa 1978, but after hours of an inability to sleep, it looked like the best solution to this cold/virus/whatever that I have been unable to kick for the past week but am happy to report isn’t strep throat.

What I think about when I can’t sleep:

1. That days that begin at 5:45 a.m. and find calmness around 9:45 p.m. feel much longer when one feels sick, and that the beauty of such long days is that they are packed with fun kids, interesting projects, phone calls from friends, an occasional coffee break, and some nights at the gym, and therefore bring an easy ability to fall asleep by 10 p.m. to start all over again, but that by staying up too late, especially because I don’t feel well, the next day is likelier to feel longer, my head cloudier, all of the activities more difficult.

2. It is already the next day.

3. Does World Literature Today have advertising? And if so, can I remember any locations other than the back cover? No, I decide. When I finally get out of bed, I discover the magazine has advertising on the inside front cover and the inside back cover as well. This is actually very important.

4. I ponder: what is it that I really want to do next? And how come people keep sending me job announcements for jobs that sound terribly interesting? How come I keep digging my feet in deeper in a city that sometimes provides hope and sincere opportunity and sometimes makes me think I am a deluded fool for finding any sense of hope and sincere opportunity? And why do some of the most intelligent, hard-working people I know move away? And how long will they miss their friends who have been murdered here in the recent years?

5. And, for that matter, why do humans treat each other so terribly?

6. And what can we do about this AIDS crisis in Africa?

7. And why can’t I sleep? And why am I so stuffy again?

8. And am I really going to Addis Ababa?

9. And does a small but nice string of awards lately matter?

10. And if I go to Addis Ababa, and if I write about a significant AIDS project, will this help alleviate any sense of midnight stuffy-headed, inability-to-sleep thoughts about #5 and those people who move away from this city because they are tired of being afraid? And tired of unecessary loss?

11. If there is “unnecessary loss,” what the hell is ”necessary loss”?

12. Why wasn’t Amanda Griscom Little’s essay “Not in Whose Backyard?” (this week’s NY Times Magazine) about poverty’s proximity to environmental pollution twenty times longer than it was? And when do we get to read her book on this subject? 

13. And when will I find the time to finish reading The Goat Bridge? And how come when I decide to read more of it right now, it’s no longer on my desk?

I have to be up in less than five hours, and this just doesn’t work. This is ridiculous that I’m still awake. A couple of weeks ago, I was talking with a friend about my schedule, and about how much more productive I’ve been since I’ve had kids, and how parenting required creating a schedule, which has allowed me to be more productive in shorter available spurts – and his response was that it wasn’t *my* schedule I created but that I simply adapted to my children’s schedule and their need for routine. Which reminds me that

14. How come when I stop at my kids’ school to drop off papers after 9 a.m., so many kids are coming in tardy? And how come this is an everyday experience for so many of them? And what universe do you have to live in to think it’s okay for your child to be tardy ten or fifteen or thirty times in a school year? And why do these things happen more in areas with problems like #12 and the collateral social ills?

15. Maybe if I had cable, I would have just turned on the television a couple of hours ago.
