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.

Drew Spotted

I imagine the conversation as something like this:
You know, Dad? When I told you about Crazy Hair Day at school, I thought I was going to end up with a fauxhawk or something. Having you go crazy with the green hair dye wasn't part of the plan.You did so well with the homemade stencil, except for that one drip that's trickling down my neck.You're sure this looks CRAZY and not like I have a weird hair rash or something, right? You know what? I look cute no matter how crazy my hair is!

My suggestions for Drew's hair included: a buzz of the Boston Red Sox logo, wild Kool-Aid stripes, or a total buzz and fun with temporary tattoos. I'm just the aunt though, so no one took me seriously.

Why don't they have crazy hair day for grown-ups? Maybe some people would actually make an effort from time to time?

I may have to try out the Kool-Aid Stripes on my streak. I'm thinking Fruit Punch for a nice pink highlight.
