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.

Happy Birthday J!

So, it's my kid brother's birthday!

He calls himself "sleepygoat" - 
we're a cranky, sleep-deprived family.
He's got that baleful stare down pat, especially when annoying older sisters visit and stick cameras in his face.
But it's more than that;
he's a son:
an uncle:
meeting the twins in early 2013, silly faces, which scared Sarah
 a hands-on papa:
Amber's baptism, February 2014
Tickling Elle
Fishing with Nathan
Star Wars Storey-time
Family Field-trip
Let's get some "air" aka run off some energy.
But despite his work responsibilities:
and ever growing family:
he's still that mischievous,
 hilarious,
 
 tech-obsessed,
 dude who is keeping an eye on you.

 Happy Birthday Bro.

Don't give me that look. 
I'm your sister. I can get away with this.
Just think of allllllllllllllllllllllllllll the other ways
 I COULD be embarrassing you.
