Started my new job last week. I had forgotten just how physically taxing grooming can be. Wiggly dogs, happy dogs, lazy dogs, ticklish dogs, and worst...biting dogs. I work in a "no-restraint" facility, so I am having to learn to groom a new way. It's a great job though. If a dog is too hard, we don't complete the groom for the safety of the dog and the groomer. There is a full time bathing staff, so I never have to bathe a dog, either. I just cut the hair, and trim the nails. The best part is the flexibility. I must be at work at 7, but I can leave whenever all my dogs are finished. Usually, that's between 12 and 2 and never past 3. My job is less than 5 minutes from the house - WEEEHOOO!!
School starts again today. Multivariate Stats using SPSS and Testing, Assessments, and Measurements - this term. Not so excited about the stats...really glad to be taking the testing session. Last semester was a 4.0 hoping for another one this semester.
Don't think I mentioned that Amy won her custody battle. For the next 45 days - the temporary order has been reversed, and Amy has Gage full time and Royce gets weekend visitation. After the 45 days expires, they go for the final hearing and Amy is awarded domiciliary custody, and child support, and Royce will have standard - non-domiciliary - custody visitation and privileges. Gage lives here full-time, now. He's a joy and a job. Very conversive...very repetitive. It's been a long row to hoe for her...I am glad she's getting what she wanted. Gage needs her and she definitely needs him.
Aside from the constant din of voices, crying, banging, animal chasing, and question after question...things are smooth sailing.
