What job would I do for free?
I think this question might mean “what job do I love so much, I’d still do it even if I wasn’t paid to?” But, the first thing it made me think was: you mean “volunteer?” For the latter, anything the benefits those in my life or my community who need it. I’ve picked up trash, I’ve taken care of my mom after she had a big surgery, I’ve helped animals, made food, childcare…that kind of payless work.
For the former, two things came to mind: animal care and teaching. I deeply love both. I’d do them for free. Not that I get paid for animal care, but I’ve certainly been paid to teach before, and yes, I would do it for free. I am so grateful for the teachers in my life. So grateful. I am in their debt, and I think the only way to get out of it is to pass along their wisdom to someone else.

I’m actually writing this entry before I’m really going to bed because Cooper really wanted normal nighttime routine. So, we did potty, pills, eyedrops, and treats, and now he’s all curled up next to me on the bed like a cinnamon roll. Another good day for my boy. No incidents. Acting his normal self. Very grateful for that. Joy is currently out in the living room, probably up to no good—it’s far to quiet right now—where I will be shortly to watch at least some of the Japanese GP.
Night night.
