That Didn’t Go as Planned

One Year… it's been a year since my last post here! I still check-in, but a year since I've written anything… the Squirrels have been busy elsewhere.

So, what happens in a year of NO posting?

I lost touch with the Community here, so please forgive me if I'm out of sync with all the new training pieces and opportunities I have missed.
Checking on Websites was a chore I kept up on, but I wasn't posting there either. NOT SOMETHING I RECOMMEND! Whatever happens, I advise you to keep posting on your websites, if nothing else.

Badged

It came to my attention recently that I received my 4 Year Badge! Has it been that long? Granted, my year hiatus didn't help me much.

Retirement

I retired from Massage Therapy about 18 months ago. At least I thought it was going to be retirement. (I've recently returned to my original profession for many reasons, so I'm back doing Massage Therapy again)! And I love it!

Where have I Been?

Here comes the sad part of my tale.
See, the Pandemic hit at a perfect time for me. This meant that Massage Therapy was in off and on 'shutdown' mode.
Mule (a.k.a. my Husband) became ill and needed my attention. The PLAN was that I would retire and do WA full-time from home. This did not go well. WA took a back burner to life.
His health became priority number one! Running to and from appointments, various hospital stays, and general chaos ensued.
In February 2022, Mule lost his battle with Rheumatoid Arthritis and passed away. Because this fight we had with his RA was a 15-year ordeal, his passing was a blessing for him.
I had 36 good years with him, and I will always be grateful for that!

Where Does This Leave ME?

I decided that retirement didn't fit my life anymore. I had nothing to do, no one to take care of, and I was bored silly! I accidentally bumped into the owner of a Massage Clinic, really misstepped and bumped her, and she offered me a job!! In July 2022, I literally FELL into a contract position doing Massage again!

This has then led the sleeping Squirrels to awaken, and I'm feeling the urge to start up here again as well.
I may not post as much as I once did, but I plan on trying to post again and get my websites back in full working order!

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
