I like to plant flowers and trees. Vegetables, not so much. I don’t usually plant trees anymore, though, because it breaks my heart to have to move away from them, as I inevitably do. My favorite tree is the hawthorn because it doesn’t get too gigantic, it flowers, and it has berries for birds to
Procrastination, part deux

At a loss for how to put off even the things you like to do? How about some of my recent favorites: ♦ Get hooked on early seasons of The Closer and stay up until 3 a.m. every night to watch reruns. To stay awake, eat cookies and drink Coke. ♦ When the reruns are not going

Crazy? Once I was crazy. They locked me in a room to die. Die? I don’t want to die. All the mice will get me. Mice? I hate mice. They drive me crazy. Crazy? Once I was crazy. They locked me in a room… Unknown, from http://coolquotescollection.com/Black/16

Let me count the ways…that I have been putting off posting my next entry. First, like all great procrastinators, let me make an excuse in a whiny voice: I’m so tired! Part of that is physical—I am anemic, overweight, low on vitamin D and thyroid-functioning, and the pain in my so-called “good” knee (the un-replaced

What? When the going gets tough, the tough get going, right? That certainly seems to have been my motto. Any time things seemed to be swirling around and down the drain yet again, I laid low, made my plan (my favorite part), and got going! Where? Go where, you may ask? Anywhere—I always thought I

Hi–Did you watch the Oscars for over 3 1/2 hours like I did? Wow, that was a long one–the singing and dancing was good, but why drag out so many oldies-but-goodies? Barbra? Come on…. (Charlize Theron is a great dancer–who knew?) I thought Seth MacFarlane looked a little like a deer in the headlights–but he

In a recent post—Bipolar or Bipedal? Unsure if you have bipolar disorder?—I said that I had had one very good psychiatrist, but other psychiatrists (pdocs) too.
