Leaving for Oregon

I'm pulling out tomorrow morning after three months hosting at a Washington State Park. It's hard to leave. Been such a great experience. My official day was over the 30th but I stayed to help train a young lady who never done this before. She is doing well, so I'm leaving for Oregon to make my week's worth of appointments and visiting. It's real hard to leave while grieving. I lost my 15 1/2 year-old kitty yesterday. She became ill again this time had to make the decision. She is being cremated and will be given to me in a hand carved rosewood box with a paw print in clay and a tuff of her hair. She will be ready when I return. I have hosting assignments booked up for the next year into next September. Only March is free right now (except my time in OR.) Have a good weekend. I'll touch basis soon.

@grenery8 Thank you. They are our babies so we will always have those moments of sadness and crying. I still expect her to get in bed with me at night.

@jstory07 Most the time. Right now, it's been super windy, raining a lot and I get so cold now. I've been off work a couple days but back at it tomorrow, even in rain.

@noni1959 Yes for sure rain and wind is moving in now. I hope you will be safe as you navigate the roads. I don't drive the freeway much now due to not liking to handle the rain with semi trucks near by.

I miss a house. Moving around is hard especially with the constant rain and wind. I'll be at this park two more weeks and then going to take off Dec. I still have to move around though.

@noni1959 You will be busy, and I know that does help somewhat. It's just so hard when they are part of our family for so long.
