Text of the page (random words):
etchy areas in search of swims we were meeting friends for a late morning hike 2 weeks ago 8 30 am plans got changed and maizy and i went alone on the mountain trail shortly before 9 it was so blazing hot and the water was in the car we had to negotiate from shade puddle to shade puddle we were both so drained from the heat i was afraid one or both of us wouldn t make it off the mountain you could see my heart beat outside my t shirt even when i was standing still i swear the next shade puddle is right around that bend it was so hot i ve never seen mt simply refuse to keep moving it was scary and i have to never do anything that stupid again the heat just gets to me way more than it did when i was younger but now that my beloved job is over and the reality that i may never have it so good ever again is setting in it s too hard to make myself do anything but rest i m trying to be gentle with myself transitions are hard but getting harder and i have only taken 9 1 2 hours of vacation in a year and 9 months mt and i hope everyone is having a wonderful summer posted by creekhiker hollysfolly at 6 25 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels mabel maizytrue work wednesday june 15 2022 i don t need words canine communication really is a wonderful thing when you spend lots of time with your dog mt and i are together 24 7 every day but mondays when i run errands and see doctors if you have the most basic of observation skills you begin to understand what your pup is saying it s no secret that i ve been frustrated with maizy true s progress using her aac device we do have amazing moments with it i gave her yes no buttons last saturday and was modeling coffee no water yes i got the bright idea to model with her toy i picked it up and was teasing maizy and saying play yes then i laid the toy down and said play no she seemed interested taking it all in i got more animated tickling her with her toy as i pressed play yes then i threw the toy down pressed play no and walked toward the kitchen while my back was turned she pressed hike yes i begged nooooo hike later too hot but she was up and out the door so we took the hottest hike ever and i nearly died all because i wanted to reward her for using a brand new button minutes after getting it the other day i had to call my cable company it s one of those frustrating robo press this press that confirm your account i m sorry i didn t get that situations i seriously think every ceo should have to attempt to reach her company s customer service on a monthly basis as part of her job i usually end up screaming into the phone maizy often moves far away from me as soon as she realizes i m on the phone with a recording she jumped off the sofa i thought she was going to get in her bed but she walked over her board pausing on her bed and with her back foot pressed outside and stood by the door our first back foot press but it was no button press at all that astounded me today we had slept late and it was almost time for her normal breakfast i keep trying to find ways to give her choices in hopes she will interact with me on the board more so i asked maizy eat now or maizy hike now i waited i could see her thinking she turned and walked to the closet where her neighborhood walking tack is stored and looked at the door she was very clearly telling me she wanted to stick with her usual routine of exercise first eat after even if breakfast would be late it s a good reminder to communicate in whatever form it comes in posted by creekhiker hollysfolly at 6 20 pm 4

probably wondering if i ve disappeared again and i admit i have not been great about posting i thought maizy s talking skills would give me oodles to talk about but she s slow learner and not talkative and that s ok but i feel like the bottom has fallen out of my world i ve lost the only job i ever loved i realize most of you probably have no idea what i ve been up to i lost my high school teaching job due to covid they wanted to return all their teacher specialists to the classrooms which no longer existed i worked so much harder during those first months of covid trying desperately to engage the disengaged teenagers it was exhausting still i managed to realize two of my favorite kiddos were suicidal and get them help all while working over zoom and google classroom but when it was over i really didn t care i made feeble attempts at looking for another teaching position but something inside me told me it would not be a safe environment for me not with covid out there i am diabetic and not at my ideal weight i have asthma and i never knew if i would have to dash off to louisiana to see about mom i was terrified of her dying of that crap it didn t help that a sorority sister of mine died from it the second week we were on lock down i ve since lost an older hiking buddy to it as well by late summer i knew i needed a better plan i started thinking about the pandemic and realized contact tracing was an at home job so i started applying and got hired terrified i had to drive to west l a to fill out paperwork in some office but while there they sized me up as leadership material and i found myself a middle management job leading a team of contact tracers in the ever changing world of pandemic driven public health it was a 3 month job i started in september of 2020 i thought by january of 2021 i d take a midyear sub job and return to teaching when covid is over i ll wait while you finish laughing that december my contract was bought out by a company with longer term ties to public health same job different employer of record that contact was for a few months then a year then 10 more months it was supposed to end in october but with the surge we are in now and the one predicted this winter with our superintendent of schools not requiring vaccines for children until next fall with monkey pox aids hepatitis flares and every health agency i meet with saying that contact tracing needs to be a permanent part of public health i fully expected the contract to be extended again and again but three weeks ago i woke up in a panic attack i was freaking out about finding a new job in a new career at my age i just assumed i was thinking of october in truth my pisces spidey senses were being triggered a week ago as our work week started there was suddenly a company wide meeting and i knew my employees tried to stay so positive it was announced a 50 work force reduction was coming i met with my team and told them any of us could go it could be me they scoffed i fill in for my boss when she s out they thought that somehow made me immune the next day when the letters were to come out i was headed to oral surgery my boss sent me lovely text something she s never done in the three previous oral surgeries i ve had since working there and i knew for certain i was on the list i had my letter right after surgery was over every one in my position in my division was cut all but one of contact tracers was cut this is all happening due to the loss of federal funding the repulican ts won t pass the covid bill sigh it s weird i ve never met these people but i love them and i love my job that s something i ve never said in 44 years of work i have felt valued and appreciated i know my team has saved lives it s been such a great ride and here i am starting over again and no idea where to go posted by creekhiker hollysfolly at 8 11 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels challenges covid maizytrue theycantalk work thursday may 19 2022 and three steps back from the time i added new words coffee help and hike maizy has seemed a bit overwhelmed and i wonder if she ll ever get it as a teacher i know that learning is never linear just some upward line that line has a lot of peaks and valleys but i swear we have more valleys than peaks if you are following online on my data keeping you probably wonder if i remember to write it all down or just skip days truth be told i do not she has days on end with no words it s so frustrating i know maizy is smart she s almost mabel smart hey mabel could triangulate math she takes to things so quickly and i guess that makes this journey all the more frustrating i m sticking to the advice of waiting a week or so before adding new buttons even if she is not interacting with them keep modeling i m so freaking tired of announcing my exits and dining habits keep target training i thought i had an original idea the other night maizy loves to watch tv i ve never had a dog give a flip about television the bad part is there cannot be a dog on tv maizy barks her freaking head off jeez she s loud for a little dog but i put bunny bastian stella videos google those names with talking dog if you want to be amazed on tv while i was getting ready for bed after one of our videos played on accident maizy was scream barking at herself i was kinda dreading what was next to my surprise she watched intently the next day we had a record breaking five button presses turns out watching other dogs interact with their buttons is a recommended training technique i m not so smart after all since that day we ve had one a day and none today and yes we got new buttons yesterday we are up to 12 now so i guess today s regression is expected but is sure is disheartening to deal with posted by creekhiker hollysfolly at 12 38 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels challenges mabel maizytrue talkingdog theycantalk wednesday may 04 2022 the sweetest request eight days after giving maizy her buttons she floored me with a request first a little backstory my knee is a hot mess worker s comp issue from teaching emotional disturbance it really slows us down on our morning neighborhood walks we used to get home early enough for both of us to have a leisurely breakfast and time left over for me to drink coffee on the back porch maizy true loves to sit next to me as i drink coffee she s hoping for the dregs of my cup and the scritches make it all the better but with my knee acting up most days for the last few months i ve walked the door and had to start work immediately i don t have time for coffee much less food and mt has to wait until i can take a quick break for her breakfast but we had gotten an early start that saturday about 10 days ago i fed maizy and decided i had time to put my leg up while i drank coffee i was standing by the sofa cup in hand trying to make sure i wasn t about to sit on the remote maizy had been finishing her breakfast and i wasn t really paying attention to where she was she pressed her water button i looked at her bowls she had water it slowly started to dawn on me that you drink water and you drink coffee could maizy be generalizing no sooner did i decide she was making some reference to my coffee she pressed outside and looked out the door was maizy asking for coffee on the porch i pressed water and outside and headed out the door followed by a very happy maizy true i was so excited she was not only engaging with the buttons she was applying meaning and naturally i had to mess it all up posted by creekhiker hollysfolly at 5 34 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels maizytrue
