I haven't been writing much because I've been visiting with my daughter and her family. I'm with her to help her through her last semester of school for a degree in social work. There is a genuine need for these services in FL and I think she'll be very good at this kind of work. I'll be leaving on Feb 4th and returning sometime near the end of March. I'm sort of a nanny for the kids. I take them to the school bus stop, pick them up, start dinner, do laundry and light housekeeping, but still I'm exhausted. I also feed and play with the animals: a cat, a bunny, a finch and 5 or 6 geckos. The bunny and cat are my favorites. There is also a stray or abandoned cat that arrived at her home just a few weeks before I arrived. She's a large black and white domestic short hair and very friendly and gentle and a little timid. I like her very much and am considering bringing her home with me after my last visit. I already have 3 cats so what's one more? I must be a little crazy. But it is obvious that she is a family cat and trusts and likes people. How she was separated from her family will most likely remain a secret for her lifetime and mine. Unless someone claims her sometime. She has no microchip or collar, but we did advertise on the message board in their development, but so far no takers.
Next time I'll tell you about my awful computer virus. Stay tuned.
Musings of a retired nurse, mother of one and grandmother of 3. Doing some part time work editing papers and writing stories. I Worked 34 years mostly in L&D and newborn special care, taught childbirth education classes, and worked with the VNA and did home fetal monitoring for high risk patients. I feel privileged to have shared such wonderful and private moments with so many families. I do miss the work that I did, but not the stress I experienced so often.
