Blather:
- You have to walk up three flights of stairs to get to my townhouse. I am regaining some muscle.
- Lots of change in this move back to Tennessee.
- Dreading the DMV.
- Church shopping is interesting. I have to keep perspective that I will never replace St. Paul's on the Green.
- Dora gets her stitches (deer kick) out this morning. She is excited, but she doesn't know why.
- I get cable and Internet tomorrow. I am excited, and I do know why.
- The local farmers' market here in Franklin is amazing.
- I think I may be allergic to my sisal rug.
- My favorite vitamin is D3.
- New food obsession these days: vidalia onions. I work them into every meal. Yes, breakfast was egg whites, vidalia and broccoli.
- Did I mention that I get cable tomorrow? I love listening to NPR, but I want to watch the olympics instead of listening to them. gah
- Have a great Monday. What are you doing?
Settling in...
- I am loving my new digs in Tennessee.
- Annie was so awesome to come for the drive and help me organize.
- Sweet Dora is getting adjusted to being a southern hound dog now.
- I am discovering how much I have missed the food here.
- I need to step up my cardio. A lot.
- Pimento cheese and barbecue are my momentary obsessions. So, yeah, cardio.
- I like change, but sometimes you need to just stop the busywork and take it all in.
- Today I shall organize my desk. After the appropriate
procrastination planning.
- I am also going to tackle my shoes. And resolve to stay away from the shoe store.
- It's coming together:
- After going to meet my furniture in Tennessee, I am back in Connecticut until Saturday.
- On Sunday, our beloved dog Dora was kicked by a deer and seriously hurt. She underwent surgery, and has a jagged gash on her right side. She also has a drain that will come out tomorrow. The stitches will remain for two weeks. The good news is that she doesn't have any broken ribs or any internal damage. She will be okay. But it sure scared all of us. She will be well enough for the car trip to Tennessee on Saturday.
- My new place is smaller than I remembered it being, but I love it. And my storage unit is very full! My sister-in-law has declared the new place "quaint." I have to agree.
- I desperately need to get my hair done.
- I had over 300 emails in my spam folder this morning.
- I am obsessed with Instagram.
- I am also very, very tired.
What a ride...
- The moving truck left yesterday for Tennessee.
- I leave in a few hours to meet it.
- Then I'm back up here on Monday for the final wave of my "Goodbye Tour."
- I am emotionally and physically exhausted.
- I am also excited for what lies ahead.
- My babies are going to be 21 one week from today.
- Did I tell you how tired I am?
- But I also need to add how blessed I am to have such a support network in my life.
- Because I am so very blessed.
- And so very tired.
- Has anyone ever tried to root a cutting off a mother-in-law tongue plant? How long does it take?
- I detest white shoes.
- Did you ever eat those light green clovers? The kind of bitter tasting ones? I see them everywhere and just want to sit down and have a taste.
- I also want to make a blade of grass whistle.
- I think my move home to Tennessee is making me nostalgic.
- I am using waves of nostalgia as a procrastination tool.
- Tonight is my last bridge group here. I wonder if my new, unsuspecting Tennessee bridge friends
who have yet to know me will be as tolerant of my table chatter.
- I am not allowing myself to get in the car and go anywhere until I have filled all my boxes and I need to go to Home Depot for more.
- I have a new paper shredder, and I love it. Dora hates it.
- When I was a little girl, my soles had black dots all over them from running barefoot all over the bubbly, hot tar roads in the summer.
- I think we should run around barefoot more often. More nostalgia?
- That new Good Afternoon America show is painful to watch. Maybe I should turn off the TV and pack.
