I have taken on full time employment at our nursing home. 12 hour shifts go remarkably fast. I really do love it, and because time flies! In no time at all, my seven shifts are complete, and I have a nice pay cheque!
On my days off, I sleep. And when I don't need to sleep, I paint....and I dream of retirement...and traveling...and painting.
I am taking lessons from one of the best oil painting artists that I know of. I don't know how to attach a link from the site, but Google "Suzanne Berry artist". I am sure you will find her work magnificent!
Our pellet stove is on every day now. It throws off a wonderful heat AND a lot of dust! It costs 6 dollars a day to heat this home. We don't have to run it every day yet.
I'm sorry that I have been so tardy in posting but I do read your blogs and am enjoying all of your adventures. I promise to do better.
This fellow continues to visit often. I wonder where he goes in the winter?
Off to work now!
The heron is so very handsome.Good shot!

I can't get my head around 12 hour shifts. I do like your goals.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your full-time employment! Nursing is one of the most important careers I know. I'm not sure how you do the shift work, I would last about 2 hours, but it's great that you can do it...and love it! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuzanne does beautiful work. I thought the bowl of eggs was a real photo! You must feel very fortunate to be taking lessons from her.
I'd love to take painting lessons some day, now is just too busy.
ReplyDeleteNursing is a very noble profession.12 hour shifts is quite demanding.
Have a nice weekend, hope you can rest.
