Hello my name is Sue (not super photogenic but I look okay in person…..😸I’m 52 I know that sounds old but I’m pretty young at heart and I have a young person’s type of job …..I am a progressive type politically so I’m sometimes listening to political podcasts quietly on my phone so maybe that part of my perspective is that of an older person, cause of all the bad news, but I work with all ages of people at OHSU from 18 year olds to 80 year olds I imagine some of the surgeons and

doctors are that old. I’m kind of like a CNA… on the surgical unit i clean up after surgery and bring them medical trays and supplies and set up the surgical room with equipment and the surgical bed or robot or whatever. I work full time 40 hours a week four 10-hour shifts I have sat sun mon off. I ride my bike to work go to the gym and I work in the community garden at a plot. I visit my mom on Sundays we play music I play violin she plays harp. I don’t practice at home maybe very rarely like twice a year for some special reason like a song I need extra work on or something. in that case I would only practice if I thought I wasn’t disturbing anyone and I do have a heavy practice mute. I just play with my mom at her house on sundays. and then we do gigs at these care facilities in our spare time once a month. and so I’m usually gone all day Sunday at my mom’s, Saturday I’m usually gone about half the day and then Monday depends, a little food shopping, and I do relax in my room. I get food prepared a lot from my mom so I don’t cook a lot but I do sometimes prepare some food nothing elaborate though I don’t like to make a lot of dishes to clean up. I have no pets. no recreational drug use for me, a beer on Friday out with a friend, I don’t care what other people do as long as they are not too wildly loud acting insane in the home 😺 I am a quiet go to bed get up early person during the work week I watch Netflix, read, I was doing a comedy class Monday evenings but am done with that for now. I don’t have a boyfriend or partner by choice. 2 plus years single and came out of a 16 year hetero living together with a child of their previous marriage, so I’m good with that. I am pretty boring 😂 I do have a small car it is a Honda fit. I use the shower at work and gym. I have lived where I’m at 2 years and have never bathed at home, but I’m flexible and would bathe at home I just don’t need to cause I live so close to work and the gym. I am pretty happy where I live, but always looking for a slightly better place if possible, where I live there is no yard access the street traffic is pretty loud and the landlords live downstairs. I get along well with them and they would write an excellent reference, but the walls and floors are thin no insulation so we are not able to use the living room, that’s probably the only drawback, not a huge deal though we all use our rooms for relaxing etc.

my renting history is only shared housing…. I’ve only ever shared rooms and a house sometimes I’ve shared a room with other people as small as a dorm type of situation. I could write and interesting book on the roommates of my life. so I’m pretty used to living with other people and although I am older which I realize puts me in a category of scrutiny by some, who knows, (you know it’s true as people age maybe they have more concrete or rigid ideas of how things should be.) I would just say that I expect people in these types of situations to remember that the shared common areas should be respected as such, I don’t really leave much in the bathroom, kitchen or laundry area because there are other people using the bathroom kitchen and laundry. I clean up after I do anything ( not to a point of crazyness, just try to keep a tidy trail) and I really try to work around other people and if somebody’s using the kitchen at a certain time each day I make a point to stay out of their way because it’s just easier. unless there’s a real back and forth flow with roommates and there’s a total casual feel, in that case then we can cook and share space and chit chat or not that’s great too. my current roommates however are a little less social, they are more comfortable being alone in their rooms playing games on their computers. so I tend to give them their space. I don’t want to make anybody feel uncomfortable rushed or anxious while they are cooking in the kitchen with headphones on or what have you. but it really does depend on the situation and it depends on the individuals so I guess you could say that makes me a go with the flow kinda gal…

I don’t know if I’d fit in your household but if so that’s great if not thank you for reading. sincerely sue 🏵️🏵️🏵️🏵️.
