One week from today I will end my career as a 

public school teacher. I'll be able to do all the things

 I never have time for - in fact I already have a long 

list going! My top ten things include finding an

 agility or other training class for Toby and moving 

our therapy dog gig to daytime. And no question,

 I'm looking forward to taking a morning walk on 

the spring days that are just about here!

Toby, what are you going to think when I'm no 

longer gone for 9 hours a day?

"Well, since you asked...

You could start a new career as a doorman,

and you could be my own personal playtime companion - 

or maybe you could join me outside if it's sunny-

-exactly like this...

and we can visit the hospital more often-

 and maybe even let kids read to me at the library!

Hmm, yes that does sound nice...

Let's go!"

Yes, I'm ready to start the next

 adventure!

And I'll be able to post to this blog

 more regularly again...
