oh, so...
I did get credit for finance last quarter. No feedback or actual indication of the quality of my work. But, I do feel like I learned *something* and that I didn't waste money on this journey.
While I don't want to make a career of it, I do feel like I've been a good caregiver for Jess over break. She's got a Jar Of Good Things for adding things that she's happy about...now, comes the challenge of remembering to draw from it when she's having a bad day, and then the added challenge of that part having any effect on her bad days. We also did our annual Wish Box ritual. It kind of backfired, or at least it felt like a backfire that day. Someone else pointed out that it's all good work, and that it just didn't have the exact effect that I had planned. TIme will tell.
I managed to hook Jess up with a new massage source. Her mom and I worked out an agreement so that I'll start getting paid for any visits over 2 hours long (which...they all are, so far).
Been taking care of vet trips and keeping the Shire going. The rabies shots went fine. The Lysine treats are helping W (and now I know of a cheap resource for helping F). Hospital visit went well with S. B has been super snuggly and bonding with me lately...maybe she feels left out of the hospital visits?
The Garnet Tower feels less dramatic and draining on me, now. We'll see if it stays that way. One rental agreement is signed (new tenant moving from South Korea), and I'm on the way to getting the second one worked out (new potential tenant moving from New Zealand). Both are Americans. No bites on the top floor space, so far.
Lots on my plate for errands tomorrow: picking up paint to start repainting The Garnet Tower, food bank run, picking up J for either hospital visit or help with Shire repairs, checking in with D on his training plan. There might be more, but that's what's on my mind for now.
Hoping to make a little headway on coursework tonight so that it's not a big weight hanging on me for next week. Sucks that I had technological problems getting onto an ooVoo call with my Learning Circle last night. By the time I'd worked out the bug in my connection, I had no desire to actually connect with them. Sigh. I know that I am the biggest barrier to feeling connected to them on an emotional level. Wish I knew how to break myself of whatever I'm doing.
Also noted what other classmates are doing with their LinkedIn profiles (in terms of listing their own businesses). I can reframe my perspective of the work I've been doing over the past months so that I have something to show for my gaps.
