Just Now Retired!

It’s a lot of work. You never know whether you are doing good or not. I just try my best and suppose that will be good enough. Sometimes I don’t get around to it and feel guilty.

I went to Goldendale, WA to look at the sky at night. It was good. There were two very dark nights, otherwise cloudy. I did some good hikes too. First trip away since Covid!

I have been busy doing nothing. I think the most important thing that has happened is that a friend of mine has a brain tumor. I got a weird message from somebody saying that their mom was in the hospital for surgery on a brain tumor. At first I didn’t even know who it was. The next day my friend called me, the day after surgery! She sounded not too bad considering. She said the tumor was fist sized. I don’t know how a tumor that big could be in your brain without your knowing it. I really hope the…

My time helping to educate the kid who was behavior challenged is over. She has become a ward of the state and they are moving her to Oregon. It’s a sad thing. Her family rejected her. I could look for another teaching opportunity, which I have started to do. Part of me thinks I should just do less and be happy. It doesn’t make enough money to worry about.

Yesterday I went to a gathering of my husband’s family. It was my first family gathering in more than one year! It was good. My two nieces attended and it was good to see them again. They are young and vibrant, mid twenties. We brought both dogs and they did well. We took some walks and enjoyed life!

The other day Coding with Kids had a meeting. They talked about how many last minute sub requests have been coming up. They showed a list of who did how many sub requests. My name was at the top! I always want to be useful.

I took Romeo to obedience training today. He did super well! I need to be more vocal with him, tell him what I want when healing. I also need to be sharper with my corrections. That way he will think that what I wants deserves immediate attention, not just a fly buzzing. We went for a long walk afterwards at a close by walking spot. Lots of people we passed thought he was a pretty dog. And so, he is.

I got several 5 star reviews recently. One says “Absolutely beautiful! Such a unique fabric and I love the stitching on it as well. It came in no time.” Another says “Sue asked questions about our pet. She customized the carrier with quality features that only a child could appreciate. Love the carrier.” And a third says “Amazing carrier, my gecko loves it!” Sometimes I have to reread these to feel appreciated!

That challenging dog did well at the shows. He got “Best of Winners” and “1st Place” ribbons! I just want to have him neutered and this is a step in that direction.

I have been assigned two classes of my very own. So far the kids are all total beginners. It should be loads of fun!
