Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

Zoning out

8 Comments

This afternoon Katie and I went out to hunt for chipmunks.  Well, she went out to hunt for chipmunks; I was just enjoying the pretty day.  We stopped for a sit underneath the red bud tree.  I noticed the heart shaped leaves against the blue sky.  Katie noticed the chipmunk under the deck.

I dozed a bit, thinking about stuff; my employment situation, the housing market, what to have for supper.  You know – important stuff.   Katie did not doze.  When I came around she was sitting at attention exactly where she was before.  I’d like to think she was guarding me as I napped.  But I think she was just waiting for that chipmunk to venture out from under the deck.

Silly girl.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

  3. My girls are certain chipmunks were made for them to chase. I am quite certain that zoning out is what my front deck was meant for. A good use of time, for the girls and for me.
