Google, which owns Blogger, removed the Subscribe by Email service last year, which is why you may get gobbledy-goop (or is it gobbledy-gook?) instead of a link. I swear, it has nothing to do with Thanksgiving gobble-gobblers. If this happens, it may be due to spam. Now I'm getting hungry.
SO, please set up a Bookmark on your phone or computer to https://barbaracrowley.blogspot.com/p/about_20.html for up- dates, and I can share posts to Facebook.
I'm switching up my social media. Getting rid of my Twitter account; I had few followers anyway.
In the next day or two, I'll launch my Instagram account:
https://www.instagram.com/authorbarbaracrowley
It will feature my book, Liberty's Scrapbook, my current feline roommate, Spooky, and maybe some infrequent product recommendations to save the planet (which are all unsolicited).
Ever since September's "breakdown" (for lack of a better word), my relationship with a calendar is IFFY. 😯
I print a Google calendar each month and I try to write in add-ons from a miniature calendar I keep in my purse. It seems that neither they nor I are in synch.
💻 + 📅 = DOES NOT COMPUTE
Today, Tuesday, I realized that I had a Library Board Meeting last night while I was enjoying Jeopardy. That's embarrassing because: (1) I had pulled the library board file over the weekend so I wouldn't miss it, ( 2) I live so close to the library, (3) this is not the first time I've missed the LBM.
I used to be a proud, extremely busy volunteer for adult literacy. After more than ten years with them, I quit (coinciding with my meltdown). Their first attempt at the annual Scrabble Event was supposed to be 9/30, but was canceled due to bad weather. The following week, at 6:30, a colleague called me to ask if I was coming. I said hell no, and wondered to myself why it was being held on a Sunday? Duh - it was a Friday. Mind you, the time change hadn't kicked in yet, so I can't blame that.
Yes, I am confusing days. Showed up to the podiatrist a week early. Totally missed my appointment with a different doctor last month. I could have sworn I went! One good thing was that my therapist canceled today's session, so I have more time to get my act together.
So, dear friends and colleagues...if you make plans with me and I don't show up, please understand that my brain is still not up to par. It's not you; it's definitely ME.
