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.

Retroblogging 1980: June 24, 1980


June 24, 1980

Today I went school and at school we did the square dance we did yesterday. Tomorrow Valerie if she can is coming to my house. Rodyn babysat us today.

When school was out I came ? practiced my piano then we had lunch, Jed when for a nap and ? washed the dishes and then I worked in my math and spelling books. Mom went visiting teaching so Robyn babysat.

then jed woke up and mom was home. Today is sunny.

Even when I was little my writing couldn't keep up with the thoughts running through my head. Can you see the pattern of writers block (the stilted repetitive entries) versus the times I actually had something to say and I couldn't quite get it on paper the way I wanted? No technology for me as an 8 year old. Paper and pencil was how I had to spit it out. Now days I could have had an iPad or something to peck at.
