I'M TRENDING!!!

. . . . . . or AM I?

A while back I thought. . . You know what I should do now that I'm 51? I should build an online presence and "brand" before I'm dead. Largely because, according to my horrible children, nothing on the internet ever truly dies. And. . . since high school teachers have a miniscule shot at an observable "legacy," the internet seemed my only route toward lasting renown considering my general lack of conventionally "fame-worthy" talents/skills.

So far, things are chugging along at a tectonic pace which. . . I suppose. . . is to be expected since I have:

• No real "base"

• No niche

• No time to develop the above

• (Perhaps) No ambition to do so

• No actual plan to make any of this happn

BUT. . . what I DO have is about 9ish regular readers and I am super grateful for you!! Thanks so much!!

Have a cheerful light-up rainbow as a token of my gratitude.

I really do wonder though how folks go about doing a one-thing-focus blog/vlog/tiktok/or whatever the hell. . . .

I don't even know which of my copious half-baked hobbies I'd focus on.

• Knitting?

• Planning?

• Baking Sourdough?

• Reading?

• Coloring?

• Writing really bad poetry?

• Curmudgeonly snark?

• Screaming into the void?

• (Not so) Funny teacher stories?

I feel like these have all been done most adequately. I wouldn't be adding anything interesting to the discourse. I asked my horrible middle child how I could add interest to this, particular post and he didn't even know what to tell me.

Clearly. . . my dreams of internet fame are doomed. Whomp. Whomp.
