A recent Tuesday:
Taking Molly the dog to a park for her morning walk
Watching Molly interact with another dog whose owner does not believe the leash rule applies to her
Hoping Molly doesn’t lash out at the unleashed dog
Trying to conduct business on a smart phone while untangling Molly from her leash in her latest Houdini impression
Trying unsuccessfully to persuade Molly to drink from a water fountain specifically for dogs
Wondering if the other dogs distracted Molly from using the bathroom at the park and if this means the house will later serve as a toilet
Trying to drive safely while leaving a long voice mail for someone who wants to know how to grab the public’s attention about an issue
Stopping by the dermatologist’s office
Wondering if standing barefoot in the dermatologist’s office is healthy
Enjoying a microwave lunch
Leaving a voice mail for a national magazine editor, curious why I haven’t heard from her in a couple of days
Helping my mom on the phone navigate Facebook so she can tell me if my mobile post actually appeared
Learning a potential client has postponed a possible project for later in the year
Rescheduling a dinner appointment
Back at the park in the afternoon, watching the phone’s battery go bye bye with no outlet in sight
