A baby!! :) :) :) :) Congratulations and blessings on your whole family. (I must smile one more time! :))
The dramas... I assume you're referring to my youngest and the vaccines and all that? Well, surprised me but one day out of the blue she started dropping hints that she'd stopped believing all the propaganda, "red pilled" as they say... and since then she seems to have shaken herself awake, dropped out of school and is figuring out what's next and is completely not buying the propaganda about anything any more.
I'm encouraging her to follow her little dream of selling artwork at an impromptu "makers" fair thing that happens in the next town over. In spite of two injections, she's not shown any signs of adverse anything (thank goodness). And we both snicker over the fact that at the point when she was "up to date" was when she gave me covid, and that my husband didn't get it from either of us (also uninjected).
Haha, if that wasn't the drama you meant, sorry for the info dump!
As for the mimeographs... mostly it's the tech - my plan is to do what I can to revive it (maybe hybridized to some degree), which is a huge goal because most supplies are/were the product of some industrial processes that are either kaput or petering out. My little daydream is to make low-tech printing available to stave off the dark ages! When you're bored enough but not totally sick of the internet, you can see what I've done so far: https://www.mimeographrevival.com.
As for the printing - the things I want to duplicate are things that I'd like to see in wider circulation (hence the public-domain browsing). My first offering will be up soon (for free because it's literally an offering and because it's got lots of beginner's "oopses" ... and I'll announce it on MM and on my blog) - and though I know you've read it, it may still be of interest for the novelty of it being mimeographed.
Labors of love and all that (kinda like the winemaking... which reminds me, I never did the Rumtopf post!! Now I've gotta find the recipe again, but instead of a post, I think I'll just send it to you by pm :) )
Anyway... I haven't found your blog boring - just sometimes (uh. let's try frequently) the writings are way beyond me and I don't have much to add to any conversation.
That's ok. I'm still here and always enjoy coming across your comments in the ecosophia-sphere.
