Quote From: hiddenheartOh, sweetie, you sound like you're just wore out. :( I'm sorry the new med is affecting you that way. That's got to be hard. Could it just be a temporary thing while your body adjusts to it, or do you think it would always affect you like this if you keep taking it? Do you have to keep taking it until your next Dr. appointment? I'll keep praying for you. I don't know much about electric shock therapy, or how it works. If you and your doctor think it would help, though, then that's your decision, not your brother's.
I don't know why your posts are spaced so strangely. Maybe your computer has something to do with it? I really know very little about computers. :p
I think the idea of a henna booth sounds really cool. What a fun job! I don't know if we have anything like that here in MT. I've never seen any, but maybe they have them in different towns. That would be a cool thing to do at the state fair, or the farmer's market, or something like that where there are a lot of people walking around.
I think I'm going to try to meet my new neighbors today. They just moved into the condo behind ours, and I think they might have kids. That would be cool, not only because then my kids would have someone to play with, but also, maybe we could trade babysitting services, or something. Is it sad the every time I meet someone new, visions of babysitters dance in my head? Like, if I could choose the ideal family to move in next to me, it would be people with kids who love kids, and want to watch my kids. Lol. Of course, if they have kids, then I could watch their kids in return, and I wouldn't feel so guilty about them watching my kids. Does that make sense? If I meet them, I'll let you know how it goes.
Hope your week gets better, Renee'. I'll talk to you more later.

Did you meet your neighbors? That would be so neat if you'd have someone to visit
and have kids in common. They could play, you could visit (& possibly switch out
babysitting!!). I know exactly what you mean!! Once upon a time, I had that when my
kids were small & it sure helps - you (to get away) and the kids (to have playmates).
I went to my doctor yesterday and he wants me to stay on the new meds one more
week. I told him I would against my better judgement and that I truly didn't want to -
because I feel sooooo bad. My brother & sister-in-law were so wanting me to stop it,
even though the doctor said to keep taking it. They said I have gone back at least 9
months in progress. But, if that's the case, then, if I do get to stop it, I should get much
better.
I just feel awful - all over- & I hate it. He said since I stayed in bed all weekend, it was my
choice & how did I know that if I had gotten out and done something, I wouldn't have
felt better? One one hand, I understand what he's trying to say, but on the other hand,
what the heck is he trying to say? I was out and doing (picking out stuff for my house)
running errands, etc. Now, I don't feel like showering, it's pretty clear to me - but,
I've always, always, always done what my doctors wanted me to do. Go up on meds,
go down on meds, add new ones, stop this one ............. See them once a week, twice
a week, every other week. So, I don't want to start rocking the boat now.
You asked about my yard at the house. The community does all of the landscaping &
upkeep on the outside of the houses. They'll plant the trees, bushes, flowers -
water, cut back, etc. I do have an area that is privacy fenced in out the back door, so
I can do something of "my own" there. I am a rose fanatic - I've got to have at least
one rose bush!!!! Back in Arkansas, I had 21 rose bushes (when the deer weren't
eating them!!!). I enjoyed them so much and they smelled soooo good! Once you get
the hang of them, they're not so hard to take care of as you hear.
Keep checking into the henna booth. Do some research on it. I have a friend back in AR
that does the craft show circuit in AR and LA and they make a second income doing it.
But, they custom frame and do iron work, but, they really enjoy it!! You have to look at
available booth sights and what you're next to, size, etc. You go girl!!!
Be sweet - talk to ya later.
