A reasonably decent day, all in all. I took Jiali for a nice walk in the park and then went to WG and saw Frances. She really likes Jiali. He really likes her. I think I'll let the dog do all the work. I came back and She asked me about the walk and I started to tell Her and She cut me off. I went to silent. This is my new tactic to being cut off in conversations. It's elementary dog training; if the dog barks, ignore it for five minutes and leave the area. If I'm cut off in mid-sentence, I'm silent for five minutes and leave the area. Her favourite medium and weapon is words, but you cannot reason with Her. Words do not work to explain the problems I have with hearing loss and how hard it is to converse. Maybe simple dog training methods will work.
