The Southwest (Chapter 2)
I continue to work night shifts at a pace that I have not done in years. The continuous flip-flop back and forth between days and nights, along with the challenge of a leadership role, and initiating positive change in this environment has got me feeling slightly disoriented. I have moments of unexplained vertigo and full…

New England (Chapter 8)
It is hard to believe that I am winding down this assignment. Time seems to pass quicker when you don’t want something to end. That is how it is right now. I don’t know that I will miss the location, but I will certainly miss my coworkers. Time also passes quickly when you are trying…

New England (Chapter 7)
It is a tradition here to have a “camp”. These camps are cabins that are located in remote areas and do not usually have electricity or running water. They can vary in their primitive nature and are usually located on a body of water. Some of them have been in the families for generations. If…

New England (Chapter 4)
I can’t believe I have now been here for a month! Time is flying by. We are settling in. I located a groomer for Wookie. He will have his first haircut here tomorrow. We made a few exploratory visits this past week via scenic road trips. The weather has been difficult, but we have persevered.…

The Gulf Coast (Week 1)
This is the view from my camper. I find myself living at the ocean! Okay, it’s not really the ocean, it is considered a bay. BUT, it is waterfront, the water is salty, and there are waves lapping at the shore. I am content, and Pearl is overjoyed (she LOVES swimming and this was her…

The High Desert (Week 7)
I met my husband in Pagosa Springs this past weekend. It is somewhat of a half-way point for us and we had never been before. We were able to stay in a pet-friendly cabin so that Wookie and Pearl could play (that was the best part). I stepped out of the cabin on the first…

Week 10 (Somewhere in the mountains)
Oh, the excessive secretions! With the nasal, tracheal, and bronchial mucus, I feel like I am drowning. It has sleeted and snowed this week so it is incredibly difficult to imagine it is related to allergies, but I get pollen alerts every day. I need to evaluate it further to see exactly what the trigger…
