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.

Retroblog Year-End Review 1981(?)


Well, it looks as if I've survived, [an] o.k. year.

I too have survived an o.k. year. Not only survived, but enjoyed one of the better years lately. By cutting back on jobs, learning to say [hell!] no to some things and yes! to others, trying to go places I haven't been before, trying new things, and trying to stretch myself, I've had a really good time.

And what's better? I've actually recorded a lot of it ... and shared it with the blogosphere.

It's taken me almost (*ahem*) years between this journal and this here blog to get a lesson that I should have learned when I was a wee small Nettie.

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
