His ears are clear, his gums are healed and Ollie’s back in a good season of life. When we go for walks he keeps up the pace with little effort. We’re up to three blocks, whereas in the spring he…

Friday 5: “Nine times? Nine times.”
Hoo boy what a week. It wasn’t bad, just seemed long. And I’m grumpy because the ceiling upholstery in my car (called a headliner) is drooping and touching my head when I drive. I’m either going to have to staple…
Murphy: A pet of his own
Not long ago I was in the yard doing crossword puzzles when I saw Murphy standing in the ivy, head in a bush, tail wagging. *wagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwag* NOT a good sign. I crossed the yard. “Hey Murph! What’cha got there?” He…
Middle-aged life goals
This is Paula Abdul. She is 56 years old. It’s the 30th anniversary of her breakthrough album Forever Your Girl and … wow. And no she’s not actually singing but that’s a-okay. h/t Design Mom
Friday 5: Stay and Let Me Look at You
Happy Friday from Lexington, Kentucky! I’m here for work. I exhibited on behalf of TNP at a Hospital Medicine Conference for the last few days. The hotel is lovely, but set on a highway which is unwalkable. That combined with…

Show us your books: September 2018
I can’t believe it’s this day again. Show Us Your Books Day! And yes, it’s also 9/11. Seventeen years ago I was an adult and watched the horror on one of the TVs at the Courier-Post while it happened. (And…
Friday 5: The Whole Trial Is Out of Order!
Happy Friday 5 on a Saturday! This is a day late because … wait for it … I went out again last night. This time was happy hour with my mom and my aunt who is recently back from a…
The Lady at 46: Walking the Walk
Today is my 46th birthday. It’s weird to consider that I’m on the downward slope to 50 when I feel like I just got used to being in my 40s. I spent the day at the shore, possibly for the…
Friday 5: Just Wing It
Happy Sunday! To wind up “Operation Use a Bunch of my PTO this Summer” I don’t go back until work until Thursday. I actually went OUT Friday night. Out. Past 11. I went to Atlantic City with Mom and my…
