With them were about the yummiest strawberries we've ever had in our lives, from her garden.

I got my husband out of bed early since his friend did stay over last night, despite having a flat/apartment rental. They're now taking a walk around the area of our house. Later they'll go somewhere further afield. I'll be very happy to have some time to myself.

Lately I've had a mild physical malaise. My eating has been poor and excessive. My moods have been in a state of struggle to remain on the edges of acceptable stability. I do think the Seroquel IR that was added to the previous XR is causing side effects. Oddly, I have not had any excess sedation other than a handful of times when I was ultra sleepy early at night. But then I wake up a few times in the middle of the night and am almost ready to start the day at 5 am. Really, the eating issue is noted. I'm also sweating a lot (a particularly odorous kind). My clothes are all tight. The strudel is almost gone, but I dread the leftovers of that chocolate ganache sheet cake. Our friend hasn't wanted even one piece to help get rid of it. I feel overwhelmed and pushed to my limits.

I'm glad the weather is mild. Today's high will only be around 66 F (19 C).

Lovely weather!

Hmmm...what you've described sure sounds like typical Seroquel side effects. Not good, not healthy. You probably won't see this for a while, but as cruel as it sounds I'd force myself to throw out the ganache. There's nothing about it that will help you feel good.
