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: Tyme to Reade

In a weird numerological phenomenon ... there are 43 days until my 43rd birthday. Just for kicks, I'm going to make a list of 43 random things that may or may not be appreciated for this natal milestone. 43 is a random one, so why not? No expectations. None. Just a way to make some notes and ease back into blogging. 


This year that I turned forty 3
I think I feel now much more free
The threshold of forty was just so great
enriching my life, to so much
I could relate
But adding 3, has further added color to my tapestry
Looking forward to many more years
colors and hues to life's veneers 
yet to darn 
there will be no tears
