LadyShadow It's great to hear that you are having better days. I'm sure you're excited about your approaching baptism. It's so special to have an Easter baptism.
I forgot to write in my earlier post that this morning, I took a bad fall on one of the piles of dirt left from digging the holes. It was still dark, I was fixing to start my walk, was fiddling with my phone, not really looking where I was going. I bruised my left hand under the thumb and into the wrist, have a big bruise on my upper right thigh and a pretty good one forming on my left knee. However, I'm lucky in that I didn't hurt myself too much other than the left hand. I am right handed but am having trouble with tasks that required 2 hands and some force, like I usually pump soap with my left hand, hold my cup of drinking water in my left hand, use both hands to carry the laundry basket, etc. I am nixing my dinner plans of baking chicken in the oven and making mashed potatoes and think I am going to have to go for chicken fajitas instead. I can make that on the stove and won't need to pour out boiling water for the potatoes.
As for me, the housework is done for this week. The company will be back next week one day to do what is apparently called mud-pumping where they pump in mud around the new pipes once the dirt has settled a bit. I just have to be careful not to step in a few places that I usually might for 15 hr while the new concrete is hardening from where they had to break under concrete to get to the pipes and put in the foundation piers.
As the afternoon progressed and things started looking more normal outside (holes filled in, piles of dirt removed, dirt swept from concrete), I started feeling a lot calmer and steadier. Or maybe it's because I took the afternoon 50 mg dose of Seroquel? My concentration reading got better; I've finally nearly finished reading a book I felt I was making no progress on and starting to grasp the plot better and remember minor characters more clearly. I just feel a lot more settled.
