January 2021

     I was a bit shocked to discover that I hadn't posted anything in this blog since 2015, so I figured it was about time to say something...ANYTHING!!!

     To bring everything up to date would take too long, so here's a summary.  MiniBoo's 13 now. I survived breast cancer in 2018 and I haven't worked since March of 2020, due to Covid.  Finally, McHusband is still at the same job he's held since we moved to Utah 10 years ago. 

     Thanks to worries about Covid-19, we decided that I would stay out of the classroom for an extended period.  This has been good and bad.  I've managed to clear out and complete many long unfinished projects over the past year.  And I've discovered that social media is more of a bane than blessing.  I have two dedicated hobby pages on a platform, but the amount of work to maintain them has convinced me to move more of those posts back here, consolidated onto one page.  I might not get near as many acknowledgements from people here, but I'm writing these posts mostly for my own records and benefit anyway.

     I've also discovered that I feel happier when I'm really "present" for people.  If I'm distracted by a screen, the quality of personal interaction diminishes greatly.  I'll still have some screen time to keep in touch with my peoples, both near and far.  I'll just be focusing on interacting more "in real life" and with "real life".
