I've been talking about it intermittently for the last few months and decided there was no time like the present for doing it.
There's been no new emergencies; no one is stalking me and I haven't been upset or offended. It was just time... there are things to say and stories to write for which my prior blog wasn't the right venue and, quite frankly, I spend (more than) enough time online as is, so I couldn't be arsed trying to keep two blogs going. I'll miss Randomosity in some ways, but in others I won't. It changed over the last year or so as I tried to protect someone who is, understandably, quite fragile just now from the... hmmm... less happy happy, joy joy parts of myself. I find I need the shadow as much as the light to be whole and balanced; it's where much of my strength and passion comes from.
I'm still Jacqueline, but also the Cranky... although that name may change over the next few days, lol.
It was also time to clear out the blogs I follow, many of which are now dead or with whom I seldom interact... it may be that I got carried away; if so, my apologies.
There will be more in coming days, until then I shall continue helping with the bathroom, which has grown into a bigger job than we realised
(the centre bit is the old flooring)
and cooking.
(Pork with mixed mushrooms over noodles.)

I look forward to reading what this new incarnation has to say.
ReplyDeleteThanks Colette; most will be quite similar, but occasionally something a bit different may pop out.
DeleteFunnily, I immediately thought "The Cranky" was you simply from the recent comment on my blog. No other person has precisely your sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteYay! Good to see you Mitchell!
DeleteFresh starts are always good. Sounds like you're keeping busy.
ReplyDeleteA bit busy, yes. =)
DeleteI came right over here to see what the heck you're up to, now. I had to copy and paste to follow you, in case you're thinking of widigiting up your side bar.
ReplyDeleteThat problem has been resolved now, Joanne.
DeleteIs this you, Jack@? If so, I'm with Joanne above.
ReplyDelete'Tis me indeed. It's taken care of now.
DeleteI don't think this is JACQUELINE @ HOME.
DeleteNope, an entirely different Jacqueline. =)
DeleteOh it's you! I was wondering who my new reader was. I didn't know you were closing Randomosity, but I'm glad you decided to stay under a new name instead of disappearing altogether.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking/talking about it for a while River... this seemed to be an appropriate time.
DeleteI am so glad that you didn't just walk away. You have become very dear to me. Very, very dear.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are dear to me EC; more than you know. I did promise I wouldn't just walk away.
DeleteI hate OSB but in a bathroom, as sub floor, what the hell? I hope you yank that crap all out and maybe sacrifice it in some way to the gods of stupidity and laziness.I do love demolition.
ReplyDeleteOh we are, Strayer. I like a little thrill every now and again, but falling through to the basement because I wanted a bath is most definitely not on my 'Fun' list.
DeleteI too wondered who Cranky was. I endorse wot EC said.
ReplyDeleteAnd ditto to you Andrew... as I said to her: I promised I wouldn't just disappear.
Deletewell Miss Cranky I too was a bit flummoxed as to who you are/were!! That cat photo though........oh dear me.....
ReplyDeleteI'd apologise for leaving you flummoxed but a girl has to have some fun in life, hehe.
DeleteWell Miss Cranky as Gill calls you. I am so happy to see changes in people and I did clear up my blog too. I did however not changed my name;). Looking forward to the real new you . HUGS B
ReplyDeleteOh it was always the real me, just not all the real me. Thank you for stopping by Miss Buttons. *hugs*
DeleteI love that you are going to be publicly cranky! It's one of my favorite moods.
ReplyDeleteI can tell that we shall get along splendidly!
DeleteHmmm, I was surprised too, but totally understand how a blog evolves over the years. Very happy to hear from The Cranky and I love the profile photo! Will be following. :-))
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have you here; I shall endeavour to ensure you don't regret having followed me. =)
DeleteI wondered what had happened...am glad you are not stopping...
ReplyDeleteI'd miss you, all of you, too much if I just stopped.
DeleteI wish you all the best in this new adventure! I look forward to reading what you write.

ReplyDeleteElephant's Child redirected me to your new site. Congratulations on this new venture - and good luck with the remodel!
ReplyDeleteI've been so preoccupied with changing my job that I'm just noticing that I was no longer seeing your blog in my feed. I hadn't realized you'd shifted over here! Light or dark, I like your spunk for life. Keep being you
