I worked and had some doctor stuff. I did have a good evening playing Uno with family.  I was sick a good portion of the week - I am STILL sick today (Sunday). A friend of mine said their mom had it for 10 days. It's some type of stomach bug and it is definitely hanging on!                   *** The weather in my neck of the woods***    The weather this week looks a little better. We were cold quite a bit of last week and had a lot of rain. It's time for the MAY FLOWERS! (Speaking of - I got some pansies and 2 hanging baskets of impatiens) The balcony oasis has started!  Monday: 74, partly sunny Tuesday...

                                     You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE  *** Past week's pondering*** Oh it's been harsh. Harsh weather, harsh emotions, and a harsh work environment. Spring will hopefully help all three of these things!  For some that have read my blog for the past year(s) you know I've dealt with bad anxiety and depression for a long time. At the end of last week, I was diagnosed with high-functioning bipolar II. My medication was changed and it did NOT go well. The first day I was a literal zombie. I stayed in bed all day and barely moved. The next day was a bit better. Monday I started feeling rage and then Tuesday - oh my goodness. I began to panic, get severely agitated, anxious, and was so bad I had to take a sick day from 10 a.m. I ended up getting into bed, wrapping up in a blanket, and I stayed in the same position for 4 hours.

  You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE          I had such a great vacation & a very busy week back! My sister went Up North with me, and we had an amazing time hiking in several different locations. We spent time with Jeff's family, and his mother got to meet Sarah.   Last week was crazy coming back. We had a gas leak and had the gas company out twice plus a repairman to fix some pipes and both landlords. I was back to work, so I was trying to concentrate with all that going on! It wasn't easy 😂 My hernia is doing better (meaning it isn't sticking out too much, lol) and we hope to keep surgery at bay until 2026. I wouldn't mind continued prayer in this area!  OH! And I bought a car! It's not brand new but it's 'newish' - and #1 It's the only car I've ever purchased on my own that wasn't a junker and #2 it is the most money I've ever spent at one time 😜 I should hopefully be able to share some pictures next week!       ...
