I am a woman on the down slope of my 40s, aw hell, I've almost got my big toe in my 50s. After 30 some odd years of living in the big, bad city and contending with the accompanying nonsense, we moved into a small town to raise our 3 urchins.
I have the bad habit of becoming interested in many things. Hence I'm a Jack-of-all-trades and a master of none...photography, weaving, beading, paper mache, basketry, mosaics, gardening, welding, cement work...we'll see what presents itself next week.
I also teach special education at the 7th grade level. My students are learning disabled, emotionally impaired, or high-functioning cognitively impaired. It's a good job and I seem to be appreciated. (The kids never appreciate my work until they leave, then they come back to wistfully talk about the good-old-days.)
