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.

Grateful List 02/9 - 2/20/09

So many things to be thankful for the last few weeks ...
It all rushed by in a blur, so I don't want to forget to thank people.

I am most grateful to Birthday Fairies, girl friends, and family for letting me make out like a bandit for my 10th birthday/birthmonth. I'm not kidding. Check out the L-o-o-t!

Forget diamonds, chocolate is a girl's best friend.

When I was growing up, I didn't have a lot of "barbies dolls."
Now I have a half dozen action figures!

Um Mom? Don't freak out, but I got a tattoo.

Now I really have to keep my resolution to not be scared to try new things.
I have 1,000 places to see as a Wild Woman, with my lunch pail in hand, Devil Ducky may care.

These are just some of the visits from old friends and new, cookies, applecake, goodies, gift cards, checks, birthday, voice messages, and e-mails that made the day/month great.

Thanks too, to Jane ... (sorry honey, I had to.)

who agreed to take me here

so I could have a "Sloppy Juanita" for lunch.
(It seemed appropriate somehow.)

You must must MUST have the Nutella and Cream Cheese Empanada
(on the left) or the Apple and Dulce de Leche (on the right).

(I'm salivating just looking at the photo. They were good!)

Read more about the restaurant here.

If this keeps up, my phobia of the next big birthday may be JUST
overcome in time to celebrate it with the other 4(ahem)-year-olds.
Thanks all. I am most grateful.
