What I’m doing now (June––almost July! 2025)
The summer is going fast!
My oldest is working, taking a summer course, and going on little trips with friends as she’s able. She will be moving out in the middle of August!
​
My youngest graduated high school! He did not get a summer job (boo) but did get involved in a Political Science lab at the University for the summer. Also, my parents are lending him money so he can live in the dorms!
​
Thus … I will have both kids out of the house in August! I know I will sure miss seeing them everyday, but I don’t anticipate having a hard time adjusting ; )
​
I’m fostering a dog. It’s been over three months now. She’s super sweet, but I just haven’t bonded with her. I may be a little resentful because she has stolen what little art time I had carved out for myself.
​
When I become alone in this house, I’d like to a) get my art habit back, b) clear out the basement in preparation for selling this house when the time is right, and c) give this website a new look! (among a thousand other things …)
​
My hectic job as Case Manager in Supportive Housing has gotten more intense. My organization has implemented layoffs, and others have quit. There’s turmoil amongst the executives––the board of directors has made some of them disappear. The rest of us are left with uncertainty, and a lot more work.
​
Then there is, of course, the political climate. I’ve been going to protests and writing to representatives as I’m able.
​
Please drop me a line, just for fun,
