Yesterday was one of the strangest days of my new life. I spent the weekend vegetating and felt like I needed to start making up for it. I finished going through my mail and identified all of the “adulting” things I needed to do; did the one thing of highest priority and after having a few conversations with friends decided to explore some new things. I found a bartending course I could take in Nashville and found a couple of hands on courses I could take to become a bicycle mechanic. I got the updated cost estimate for my kitchen renovation which I desperately want to get completed so I can finish getting settled in my home. I went over to my son’s to talk through all that was going on in my head and felt better grounded.
Over the weekend I got presented with an opportunity to join some friends for a week or so in St. Remy in southern France in September. I am trying to say yes to all interesting opportunities. It would be a beautiful place to cycle. I would think France’s new vaccination requirements should make it even safer in 2 months – probably safer than here.
Today I had a conversation with an individual who identifies consultant roles for Pharma companies and this may provide an opportunity to support my fun, use my brain and provide some structure to my life while things continue to reveal themselves.
Tomorrow we are going to meet two dogs and I may adopt one of them. This is a family meeting – my son, daughter-in-law and their two dogs. We are all excited. I miss having a dog to walk and don’t enjoy walking myself very much.


The Wednesday night group bike ride I was hoping to do last week didn’t work because of rain. It is not supposed to rain tomorrow. I am desperate to meet some cyclists here. I drove some street routes yesterday suggested on Google Maps and didn’t think any of them seemed very safe. I need some inside information!!!
