so. i've resolved to keep clear of the news (no newpapers, online sites, tv -NOTHING). i do not want to know what is going on anymore for the next 4 years.

i'm at another branch. one year at the last one was absolute hell - suffice it to say - i was safety transferred. patrons and staff were terrible.

but i am convinced that the same people are at every work location - they just wear a different face and have a different name but they are all the same. hopefully, this new place is survivable. sad to say this at my age. i'm at the last year before 60. i can not believe it.

it is tough...i'm second youngest of eight and my siblings are truly battling the assault of time. it's a little heartbreaking. this month is filled with doc appts - routine checkups etc. my healthcare team are mostly all from the same medical facility - a major nyc hospital. my benefits are very good so i really don't want to go in search of another position where the healtcare benefits may be different.

of course, miss cat also needs a checkup. she will be 10 this august. she is currently hanging in the new amazon box. the bed goes unused.

i miss the four i've lost. i hope there is an afterflfe for them- pure goodness - most times - better than humans.

onward, forward...
