PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Things that make Wednesday bearable

This e-mail:

Dear All,
Stop those lunch plans! We’ve had a snafu and will have to cancel (at the last minute) a scheduled Lunch. Consequently, we will have lots of food delivered at around 12:30. .... Help yourself!


Cheers!

HOT DAMN. This and free breakfast biscottis! Now, if I could just make 5:00 p.m. come faster, and figure out how to get a free dinner, my day would be MADE.

(Please don't think I'm cheap. I'm merely my parents' child and being economically responsible. Plus, if I don't eat it, the food will just go to waste. Can't have that, now can we?)

Makes sense. Why waste perfectly good (and free!) food?

ps - Loving the use of Hot Damn. It's such a brilliant and all-purpose phrase. If you don't mind, I shall steal this phrase and make it mine forever and ever.

I'm pleased to say that I "rescued" some leftovers for dinner, so I'm all set for today.

DAMN SKIPPY. Today is good.

Yo Anonymous -- go ahead ahead and co-op Hot Damn. I'll be trying to integrate DAMN SKIPPY into all of my conversations henceforth. (Thanks Lula!)

Damn Skippy indeed. I loves me my free foodstuffs.
