As I’m writing this blog post, I’m encountering glitches.
As I’m uploading my original songs to various platforms, I’m running into glitches.
When I tried to conduct an individual therapy session online yesterday, we ran into glitches.
Here’s a glitch-y definition:

There are so many glitches, everywhere!
After we resolved the technical glitches in that remote therapy session yesterday, we talked about the stages of grief. I shared my thoughts about a different stage of grief that I’d like to add to the already documented stages of Shock/Disbelief, Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Guilt, Depression, and Acceptance. The undocumented stage I’ve noticed is Hyper-Awareness of Mortality, which I see in my clients and in myself. I would try to add that grief stage to the literature but I anticipate glitches if I try to do so.
Do you see any glitches in my other images for today?

Like the Daily Bitch, I sometimes deal with glitches by inviting someone to help me with it.
I’m encountering many glitches as I try to upload my original songs on sharing platforms, which can be triggers for me.

What are your thoughts and feelings about glitches?
Thanks to all who help me deal with life’s glitches, including YOU!
I think your addition of hyper awareness of mortality to the stages of grief is insightful. It might be a permanent stage for some.
Thank you for your insights, Maureen.
I had a long-anticipated meeting with a Seattle friend yesterday, who was on a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings here in Madison. I was to pick a place to have dinner. However, I don’t know Madison dining out spots very well, and decided on Culvers, as I had heard it was a Wisconsin original. I expected some sort of Wisconsiny Applebees. I did not expect a fast food joint. I might as well have taken her to McDonalds. Aargh. However, she was game and we had a great conversation over our fast food.
While I was at it, I discovered something about my Garmin. I used it to get to the FLW building to meet her, and then put in the address of the “restaurant,” telling it to add this address to the route. Which Garmin thought meant to take me to where I already was, first, so all the way down the part of the route I already knew, it was trying to get me to go back. Since I was driving, I couldn’t reprogram it.
Somehow we found all we needed and it was a great visit after all. Glitches and all.
I am glad to know this, Barbara.
Awareness of mortality drives Gilgamesh, who also went through the other stages of grief, but since it’s midsummer I’m focused on another character who said, “Lord, what fools these mortals be.”
Absolutely, Chris.
