Too damn much has been going on. Have been camping out in the house since the first toilet, 4th of July, when my host's house was full of her relatives; living here full time since the first shower functional, Labor Day, ditto. Getting used to things: new dishwasher, no more pre-scrubbing every single thing! new stove & microwave: wish I could turn off the clock displays, so they wouldn't reset with every power outage (of course there were no more outages after my mother set them 7 minutes apart, but eventually my brother visited & made them ship-shape).
I wish I'd kept up with all of you; I hoped that un-friending everyone who I dreaded reading for any reason would help, but it didn't much. Lately I've been getting friended by complete strangers... buzz off, why don't you. Or not.
