The folder with my short name on it is fine.  outside of that folder though 
there is a folder litterally named home. it is empty.

• Very interesting indeed.  When pressing cmd+shift+h, the MacOs will
take you to your home directory.  The parent folder of this directory
will be named whatever shortname you gave your account when setting up
your Mac.  Within that home folder you'll find folders for Documents,
Music, Pictures and much more as well as your personal Library folder
which contains needed Preferences and such.  If your Home folder
appears empty, that's rather odd.

Later...
