Spring

We have been busy painting Mom's house. Jim left yesterday, after doing much work here with it! We enjoyed his company, although the poor guy did nothing but work and eat while here :)
Yesterday while putting second coat on front, I noticed 2 quail, 1 robin, 2 ducks, and a squirrel in our yard. Nature!
Mom's house looks great-with the colour you notice her house now, with that yucky brown, it just disappeared.
We have to put a 2nd coat on the siding, and I would like to get primer on the patio bricks.
I have posted a few pictures of our spring here :)
Work has been super busy, doing training for our move to the new building. One more week of that to go, then perhaps a reprieve? I am probably being optimistic. Though stressful, doing all this move stuff is quite interesting.
I am finished my class-my essay was on ethically analyzing dialectical behaviour therapy as a treatment for borderline personality disorder. I found it interesting to do.
My next class is the ethics and politics of health care.
I am irritated with my union. Not unusual. I find this black and white thinking about stuff irritating, and I also find it irritating to be manipulated by it as they try to build support for action. Really, now you offer an information session on job action with pizza and pop? Also interesting is that from my small little sphere, it seems that the people most interested in union activity are the people with 1) worst communication skills 2) poorest job performance 3) poor sense of personal responsibility.
In other news, looking forward to our trip to Las Vegas-shark tank! People watching! Pool! Hotel with many lights!
