Thankyou so much for your welcome, and yes Bubble is a cutie. Loves to try and help me study (not really helpful getting in the way all the time lol) but he thinks he is helping, it's the thought that counts. It's his pic in my profile.Welcome to the SDC community, @icaniwillendofstory ! So lovely to have you here with us
So a little more about myself. I was a vampire (phlebotomist) for nearly 20 years and had to retire due to carpal tunnel syndrome. I had bilateral surgeries for this condition and I still have issues with my hands so with that, I no longer trust myself to perform those duties any longer as I don't want to hurt the patients, and don't particularly want to drop a live needle on my feet, given the potential of it being infectious. I decide all this knowledge and experience was going to waste, so decided I would like to teach it (pay it forward) so others may benefit. Stay tuned for the next instalment. 
Hehe I find if I don't think before I speak it gets me in all sorts of mischief.

WELCOME TO SDC
Thanks so much for sharing more about yourself, @icaniwillendofstory! Twenty years as a phlebotomist is no small feat — that’s an incredible contribution, and your decision to pass on that knowledge through teaching is truly admirable. You’ve clearly got such a caring heart, and it's lovely to see how you're finding new ways to keep giving back. Also, Bubble trying to “help” you study gave me a chuckle — what a sweet little sidekick you’ve got there!
Yes Bubble tries to help(hinder) lol.
He just loves to spend time with mummy regardless of what I am doing.
The only time he doesn't offer assistance is when the vacumn cleaner comes out, really doesn't like that.
He goes and trashes the bed when that comes out hiding under the doona until it is put away hehe
