$86.00 To The Good

 I donated 6 paintings to the “We All Need A Rescue K9 Rescue” online auction to help raise money for a dog rescue.   After two weeks of bidding, they helped make $86.00!  So, a bag or two of kibble!  ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Back In The Saddle



Well, I am working again!   I am 3 1/2 weeks into my Fall contract of LLI tutoring at Pleasant Hill.  And I’m loving it.  I work with 3 Grade 3 students (Sebastian, Braxton and Amber) for 3 50-minute, one-on-one periods a week.  This was exactly what I needed.  It gives structure to my days/weeks, a nice sense of purpose and some extra cash in my pocket....hopefully to be used next winter for travel.   I have even decided to do it again in January and found out yesterday that I am able to.  Originally I was only hired for the Fall, as I’d hoped to be away this winter, but it looks like, once again, it would be most prudent to stay put, so I will do this instead.  Which is fine.  Far from ideal, but fine.   Which is how most things are these days.  ๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿฅด
