Not sleeping great, still/yet. Even if I am tiired, my mood is better. At times, I do feel on the edge of depression. I want to avoid depression, mine are do severe and last so long!

So far, i've been brought out of depression by Mirapex. I have had to observe myself and make quick med adjustments with Mirapex. I also must watch for any obsessive-compulsive behaviors.


These behaviors may be just fine, depending upon the effects upon one's life. I'd like to become an obsessive housekeeper! Lol!

I have company coming over the holiday. I need to get some things done/ready/etc. I have a guy coming this morning to shampoo the (white) carpeting in the front staircase and related hallways.

I will have more done with carpeting after the holidays.


I have found a "handyman!" He seems like a very nice guy! A little expensive, but it is the going rate around here.


"Just say NO!" Many of you may recall how strung out I was over the holidays. You might recall I was doing a lot of work without help from any of the 28-32 guests. I was feeding. I was fed up long ago; yet, had kept doing it for my mother. My mother has never gotten an invite from her other children on a holiday.. Many know my mom turned 80 y.o. this year. She also has some additional health issues. this year. I have put my foot down and have finally said I am done doing this for everyone. I have had a rough year myself, on top of assisting my mom.. I have compromised so my mom will get to see her grandchildren, I hope. People are invited to stop in for dessert and fun and games after 2 PM.


If you plan to stop in, just let me know 5 days ahead, if possible. I must give Bird Dancer a count so she will have some idea as to how many deserts to make.


I remain hopeful for a Happy Thanksgiving!
