Enjoying Teaching

I have been enjoying being a teacher because it gives me joy. I am going to wait a few days before I decide what to do for the student who wants to be tutored in English conversation. 

This morning my swim student told me about her ballroom dancing costume and upcoming dance contest. She sews her own outfits (this one has rhinestones and denim bell bottoms!) I hope I am this adorable when I am 80.

I have spent lots of time hoping (waiting) to help people who are ultimately not interested in growing or learning so when faced with  interested students I feel I have found a home.

I had good results from leaving Romeo in his bed next to Lulu when she was in her crate (and the lights were on so they could see each other). No sign of separation anxiety when I came home from teaching. This is great news! I had a hunch it might work. This takes a load of worry off of me.

I have been walking my dogs at least twice a day to various neighborhoods. I recover with reading naps. Lately my swims have been brief and mainly to loosen my back and shoulder muscles.

Ice dam causing basement flooding. Buckets and mop are out!

 

Not a surprise.
