Lookin’ At You, Kid

Sunday, December 17, 2023

Here’s another short hello, and this time, not because I must work until the store’s almost midnight closing but because today I’m to be there when it opens. We who work in retail will be incredibly happy when this week is history under our belts.

Fortunately, the local weather has facilitated my weird working hours. Generally, it’s been warmish without much rain or snow. My part-time job is ending in a couple of weeks, and then I will take time off to relax, enjoy my pets, read and learn, and renew casual interests.

My donkey, Pimmy, has contracted an equine disease called “Cushing’s.” One side effect is laminitis or extreme hoof tenderness. Pimmy has begun to limp. Kate Beardsley has offered to coach me in treating Pimmy’s laminitis, which she’s certain is controllable. Kate heads a non-profit horse rescue and is an all-around equine expert. She knows the specialness of this gentle and sweet donkey; along with me and others, she loves Pimmy.

Dear Friends: Now, I must get ready for work, and will see you tomorrow. Diana
