Dear Readers,

I guess I was wrong in thinking I had one reader. There are at least five of you. Hi Mary Jo! Hi Sarah! Hi Amy! Hi Blaire! Hi Lauren! Your words were very kind - thank you.

Dear Reader,

Hi! I’m sorry I haven’t written in a while. I actually thought of not renewing my blog, but TJ said he didn’t think I should shut it down yet.

I haven’t been writing much, but I’ve been thinking plenty. And I’ve been soaking in poetry. Today I was feeling low for no particular reason, and I took some time outside to sit and think.

We had a puppy. A very cute puppy named Bo. Now TJ’s parents have a very cute puppy named Bo. We rehomed Bo to them a few weeks ago and I am 100x happier without a dog. I am not a dog person and we are not a dog family. Story is definitely a dog girl. So that was the challenge we faced: How do we say “we can’t have a dog” to the one who loves the dog the most?

Question 7: What do you keep lists of?

Question 7 (Grammatically correct version): Of what do you keep lists?

I saw five deer on my run this morning so when I got home, I wrote it down. I also wrote down my running splits from this morning. Earlier in the week, I marked in my planner that I went to Tandem with which friend (Natalie) and what I ate (Dark Chocolate Banana Waffle). I hope tomorrow to write down that I skied.
