hey red........

what do i do for a living.. well for the past 11 years i have

worked at the same property.. i live and work at a big apartment complex,

townhouses,,etc...i clean the apartments and make ready for move in..its

not the best job...i really get some nasty things to do and clean...and

i also work in the office from time to time and lease apartments if they

need help.. but basically i clean apartments that people leave messy.. i

really want to quit someday soon as i am getting at the point in my

life 53...that i want to exhale and do things i really enjoy...like

cooking.,, sketching....writting poetry.....but right now doesnt look

that way unless we win the lottery... my husband makes enough money and

all.. but we want to save for a house...anyways.. i am rambling....its

really hot out today suppose to hit 108 degrees.. love that arizona

summer... i want the ocean NOW.... haha...i am out in the heat all day

too, so by the time i get home i am really tired.....what do u do

red???

gotta finish my lunch...

libby.. (mary)

Sounds like a great weekend! Dh and I did some planting, shopping, and fixed an old flower bed...took out the plastic edging and put in bricks...looks great! My ds and his dgf came for steak supper on Sunday, and Monday dh and I took our bikes(non- motorized...lol) and biked on Monday in a pretty part of town....It was nice!

Enjoy the graduation and sounds like you have a busy week ahead!

Hugs

What do I do? LOL! Good question!

Well, I worked for 13 years at a local health department as an administrative assistant, and that was enough! Enough of people taking credit for my good ideas and enough of arranging for meeting rooms and sandwiches.

When my girls left home (seemingly) stable, I decided to go back to school. Luckily, I have a wonderful SO that is willing to help me out, so I only have to work part time. And I go to school full time. I will graduate in March of next year. In September I start an internship with the Red Cross here in my area. They cover 9 counties.

In the meantime, over the summer, I am having a pesky hip replaced, and will do practically nothing aside from recuperating from that except maybe tend to my long-neglected book list!

Thanks for responding to my question. It's fun to find out what the newbies do in their "spare" time. LOL!
