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.

43 Ideas for Birthday 43: Vacuums that Suck

Literally. 

Sometime in the last 10-12 years I bought a vacuum, that has served me and my mother. At some point last week, the burning rubber smell became impossible to ignore. It may be sucking, but it's more sucking, than sucking... if you know what I mean. 

I need to eventually get a real vacuum (or two, a mini one would also be helpful), but for now I'm making due with a Swifter and a carpet sweeper.
POSTSCRIPT: As of August 2015, I am all set for a vacuum. I actually have 2 now. Thanks.
