Going!

Thursday, September 26, 2024

Yesterday, I worked in Jewelry, and a customer became great fun. She was genuine, enthusiastic, and open. She’s a retiree whose professional career involved teaching piano and mathematics. Long after retiring, she met her now-long-time significant other on Match.com. They’re enthusiastic about bicycling together and frequently have traveled by bicycle in countries worldwide.

She enjoyed hearing about my horses and especially my donkey, Pimmy. As it turned out, she recognized Pimmy. She’s often driven past my place and loves seeing the donkey.

(BTW, “the donkey” is in trouble with me for refusing to take her medications. Starting last night, and from now on, twice a day, she’ll receive meds from a syringe. We both dislike syringe deliveries, but those more insure her continuing health.)

My customer recommended that I explore a program offered by Oregon State University. The program is designed to be a continuing learning experience; it could be done in person or online. She and her significant other have enjoyed it. (I have forgotten its name but know how to look up the program, and will say more in a future blog.)

I’m off from my part-time job today. This evening, I plan to meet with one or more of my coworkers for dinner at a new restaurant.

Dear Friends: Today, I hope to have enough spare time to go horseback riding. Diana
