Wow is it ever dusty in here. The last time I visited was in 2012. That was 14 years ago. I hadn’t planned to stay away so long, really. You can see I didn’t even cover up the furniture with old sheets to keep the dust away, like they do in the movies. But I guess life just happened and time kept marching on and I never came back. Until now.
I don’t know what got in my head to make me visit except someone made a comment that made me suddenly realize, hey, I have a place… And so I decided to stop by and check things out. And it’s still here, dirty and dusty, but not too much worse for the wear I suppose.
An update of sorts. In 2012 Snags was in 4th grade. Honestly, I have trouble remembering that far back. Suffice it to say he passed elementary school, survived middle school, and graduated high school during covid years by walking alone across the stage with a mask on for a photographer to take a photo before we were rushed out of the auditorium for the next family to come in with their graduating senior. He’s spent the years since high school gathering up degrees like candy tossed out at a parade and if this streak continues, he’ll need a separate room to hold them all. Right now he’s in graduate school studying maths. And I know, we live in the United States and I should call it math, but honestly, I thought math ended at calculus until he proved me wrong. There is so much more math out there, most of which I can’t pronounce and have absolutely no clue how to use it or what it’s for or why anyone would ever need it, so I am calling it maths. Like Walt Whitman might have said, the world is large, it contains multitudes of maths. Plural.
As for me and that guy I married over 30 years ago, we’re still together. Retired empty nesters being ruled by a small dog with a huge attitude. I am honestly not sure how that attitude even fits inside a dog this tiny. But more on that later. Maybe.
And now, I think it’s time to go. The dust in here is making me sneeze. I’ll be back with some rags, and maybe a mouse to make using this computer a little easier. Touchpads are annoying. Also, the dog is demanding my attention.
