It is squirrel season at our place. We have a lovely green park area behind and between the other homes where we let our dog Harry out to exercise. Usually it is a fun game of chuck-it with a tennis ball. But, not now, it’s Squirrel Season! They must let off a catch me if you can odor or something. Harry is all distracted, I throw the ball and he starts after it, but something turns his nose, and he is off in another direction after a clucking-screeching squirrel with fluffy tail! It reminds me of myself at times. I will admit that I do have a short attention span. I start on something with a gusto, then nothing, or just start on something else. Luckily, I don’t do this while driving! I have started a new job recently. It is different than the previous jobs I have held at hospitals. It involves teaching as a clinical instructor. Something I never thought I would be good at. You need to be an extrovert to do it. My second daughter is a lot like me. Today at lunch together we were talking about being introverts. She said, “you know mom, I think we are outgoing introverts”. I think she is right. I do love people and like to be around others more than not. But, I am not the first person to have an answer at the ready. I have to think about something for a few hours, then come up with a great answer.
Not sure why I went into that from squirrels, but somehow it must go together. Short attention span, dogs, squirrels, introverted and outgoing.
