I really lucked out with Carli – she is the most loving dog and quite entertaining. However, as she was 4 years old when I got her, she had instincts and preferences from her previous life that were not known to me. I was particularly vexed by her unwillingness to consistently respond to commands toContinue reading “The long awaited consultation with Dog Behavioral Professional”

Part of the reason I did not go to the Bans Off Our Bodies Rally last Saturday was that I had volunteered to do Voter Registration for the Davidson County Democratic Party that morning. This time the weather was beautiful and the venue was a street festival celebrating the centennial of Hillsboro Village. I decidedContinue reading “Volunteering”

I wrote this blog a week ago and intended to post it last Saturday – the day of the Bans off our Bodies Rally. I got distracted and because it was raining at the time of the rally in Nashville I ended up not attending with some degree of regret…. I just signed up forContinue reading ““Pussy hat” arthritis”

To the degree that I ever thought about getting to the point of “not working” it was an empty canvas until the fall of 2018 when I had the opportunity to do a 9 day bike ride on the Natchez Trace from Nashville TN to Natchez MS. The ride was to celebrate the 80th birthdayContinue reading “Transitioning to a new life”

I learned to knit and crochet when I was about 8. I was taught by an aunt who remained my “go to” resource throughout my life. She gave me a pattern for afghans in the late 90s that I have used ever since . I have made between 30-40 baby and adult afghans using theContinue reading ““Lost”in crocheting”

I have often lamented about Carli’s lack of enthusiasm for going on walks with me. I thought I was starting to make some progress this week but I think I may have set her back a bit today. I had a beautiful 15 mile bike ride today with this group of women I returned homeContinue reading “Carli can run!!! – when she is scared”

Yesterday I went to a law office on the 28th floor of a building in downtown Nashville. I had just rewatched the first episode of Boston Legal over the weekend and the offices total reminded of that show – although with far fewer people running around in the hallways. Walking into the lobby of theContinue reading “Nashville Legal”

Over the past several weeks, I have written several posts in my head but did not get out the computer for about 2 weeks. Partly it was because Carli made it impossible. If I sat at a table or desk she jumped in my lap. I would accommodate her and start to type and sheContinue reading “Bullied by a 10# dog”

NOTE: I wrote this on August 17th and then got distracted and didn’t post it and apparently have not felt like blogging for a month…. I decided to post the old one and will do a catch up blog. I am alive and well. I woke up early today with a desire to write. YesterdayContinue reading ““A False” Awakening….”

I keep thinking I am going to feel ready to move forward in some direction but not yet. Another hot and humid week which does not make leaving air conditioning enticing. I did work out with my trainer 3 times this week and my quest for muscular shoulders is starting to be visible – soContinue reading “A wasted week – or not?”
