Beginning

I have no idea why I chose today to begin... I've been thinking of blogging for several years. It's a gorgeous day and I'm just enjoying the back porch, listening to the sounds of birds, squirrels and occasionally Edison running around. Edison is our dog...

I was watching youtube videos on how to clip your dog. Poor Edison, we bought clippers and they arrived Thursday so, today is the day! Hope he still loves me in the end. He's a cairn terrier/poodle/silky. Happy day he doesn't usually shed but his winter coat is shedding so we'll see. I might attempt to post pictures! He's mostly black right now, he started life almost all black, the hair is growing out gray like his father so once he's clipped there will be a huge change. He is a pup of the second litter our daughter, Lani's family dogs had after doing "the cha-cha" as Gavin (the youngest grandson) said. We love Miller (the dad) and so we ended up with Edison. I'm delighted by him most days. He loves with such enthusiasm! It's amazing. I want to be like that when I grow up! By and by I'll post a video of his greeting when I get home! I am loved.

Central Florida is gorgeous this time of year. Highs in the mid 80s today, lows a wonderful mid 50s. Perfect!
Perfect for sleeping in today after working from 1am to 8am more or less. I work as the Wellness Director at a 126 bed assisted living facility. I love my work there, most days! The residents are wonderful... 80 of them right now! Dang, it's the hardest job I've ever had! What was I thinking??? I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm sure you'll hear all about that too by and by. Once a month our cycle of medicine comes in from the pharmacy and poof! all at once needs to be in place for use, so, once a month I work overnight with the med tech to make it happen. Gives me a 2.5 day weekend this time because it landed on a Friday night. Sleep before and after... and tonight!

Again, I started this not knowing where it will go. I don't know if anyone will ever read this... do I care, I'm not sure but, tata for now!
