We Might Have A Noise Phobia Solution For Harper
I want to thank everyone for the suggestions after last week’s blog about our sleepless nights due to Harper’s anxiety issues over noises. I was hoping leaving the tv and music on would help, but when that failed I researched the Color Noise Sound Machine suggestion and immediately ordered one. I had no idea prior…

It Was Wonderful To Have A Few Hours Of Sunshine
It was as shocking to have some sunshine yesterday as it is to realize Monday is the end of college football and it’s the final weekend of the NFL regular season. I’m never at a loss for finding some sports game to watch all year, but nothing compares to my love of football season. I…

Don’t Disturb Me, I’m Exhausted
I’ve lost track of how much sleep I’ve lost lately thanks to Harper, but at least she’s recovering with many power naps. Harper has always been an anxious dog and we’ve always adapted to new issues while never understanding old issues like how can you be afraid of a tiny fly and chase thirty turkeys…

Thankfully I have already watched many of my favorite Christmas movies as the new limited series Archie about the life of Cary Grant has led me to rewatching favorite Cary Grant movies. It’s been years since I’ve had a good Cary Grant binge and it’s been wonderful watching him again. Hopefully I will have time…

According to everything I’m seeing on tv and in the store, I should be saying it’s time for the holidays, but somehow I mentally made a decision to not leave October. I’m shocked the holidays are here and that I actually heard someone already talking about New Year’s resolutions. I’m also shocked that I haven’t…

iPhone Journey – Day 64
I’ve lost track of the number of important topics I would like to rant about, but there has been some serious muttering I can share this week. In the midst of not being able to accept aging some days, I read an article about The Golden Bachelor tv show in The New York Times that…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The phrase up shit creek without a paddle. One of those phrases I’ve heard throughout my lifetime, but not one I liked or wanted to use until this week. While my mother is still improving and recovering, my husband now has vertigo and while I don’t need a paddle for the creek, I am about…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The cure for a week with too many appointments along with fog, rain, thunder, heat, humidity, severe storms, power outages, air quality alerts and foggy smoky haze. After much thought, I believe a dose of Idris Elba in Hijack, a prescription of Jack Ryan, a daily fix of the Tour de France, the book remedy…

I’ve Been Pondering…
The gift of a good walk. Recently I enjoyed the New York Times article “Whatever The Problem, It’s Probably Solved By Walking” by Andrew McCarthy, who has now walked the Camino de Santiago twice. While I’ve always dreamed of walking that pilgrimage route, I still discover any walk to be a gift. I’m happy while…
