I think I may now be not fixing the mower just so I can say it is still broken and I may never mow the lawn again.
It is why my yard is a community project. All my friends like to mess about in the dirt and plant things - so my yard gets tended because of how upset they get about it. I don't notice it myself.

The other is doing better than predicted with treatment. It is not a super long prognosis, but better than they talked about this spring and she has some quality of life back.

No story. I'm just putting on weight and making mistakes.

I like mowing the lawn...I still remember mowing an ex's lawn as a surprise when he was out-of-town. My father was trying to help me with the lawnmower over the phone (I was in my early 20s at the time and knew nothing about lawnmowers) and was almost in tears because it looked nothing like what he was describing. Finally I was like (sob), "It has a cord!!" Yeah, well, it was electric, ha. So it was kinda like vacuuming outside.

And mosquitos suck (no pun intended). I have to give my indoor cats heartguard because it seems like a whole swarm comes inside every time I bring the groceries in.

someone, you realise that this linguist is rather curious about what language it is (no, I'm not asking, I do respect your privacy... but I'm just sayin'!)

neutrino, I think you should talk to your professor. Your situation is beyond sinple nervousness, and it sounds reasonable that you need more than just getting some extra practice beforehand. And you don't need to be ashamed or feel that you are being a bother, I'm sure.
Thanks for this!

Found 2 out-of-date (like 18 months) seroquel last night. I stopped taking them because I seem to be sensitive to them. But I had a better restful sleep last night still only 4 hours but I'm feeling ?better.

It's strange I also thought of SD as a gardener.
CE I know that fat and stupid feeling but mine is related to lithium. The things I put with to appear normal.
Thanks for this!

I also think of Mast as a gardener, though I get the impression she doesn't have a garden. Maybe they both have gardening minds or gardens of the mind. I am talking **** now and shall try to contain my brain.

This is how I feel today


All my life I've searched upon the reasons for us being here
The universe and all that it contains
Well I tried to find the secrets of the brain

Twenty years I've labored trying to find who my creator was
But now at last the pieces fall in place
It's funny and it shows upon my face

And the music goes 'round my head
And I can't hear a thing you said
And my life echoes through my brain
It's so comical I'm insane

Now the people herald me as being the genius beyond compare
They're clamoring to hear what I will say
It's funny and they carry me away

And the music goes 'round my head
And I can't hear a thing you said
And my life echoes through my brain
It's so comical I'm insane
All right

All my life I've searched upon the reasons for us being here
The universe and all that it contains
I tried to solve the secrets of the brain

And now the music goes 'round my head
And I can't hear a thing you've said
Thanks for this!

I feel like baking when I get home from work. Maybe kaiser rolls or something. Yum!! I'd really like to make bagels but that's too time consuming for after work. Hmmm....

You mowed your ex's lawn? That was generous. I would have mowed his flower beds!

Oops, I phrased that wrong....now an ex, he was my boyfriend at the time I mowed it!! He wasn't very happy I did it, tho...he just assumed that no one could do things as well as he could and he was upset when I told him about it over the phone, before he got back b/c he thought I probably messed it up. (I didn't, go figure.) Charming guy!

I'm liking your T more and more.. But seriously what did you do? If my T said that about my mom, I think I would have giggled just from being surprised...

I have had the therapists say those sorts of things. I usually ask what the purpose is - are they trying to get me to respond with A, B or C?

Wish my T would say stuff like that regarding my mother.... The only thing she said is "just because you have abandoned your mother doesn't mean your kids will do the same to you."

Nothing like taking the guilt knife and giving it a couple of turns.....

It's okay. The T was responding to a comment about hanging on till my younger one is done college.... She didn't say it as a direct comment....more of a backhanded insult.

No matter what she says about me or my mother... I won't get sucked back in. I have 5 other siblings... And 4 of them have no issues with the past so they can deal with my parents....

Today is the day. The day when we're going to start going through the result of the assessment. I'm nervous.

Yes, I probably should. I just don't really know what to say and I'm worried he'd treat me differently afterwards. I'd like to tell him what my psychologist said about it but then I'd have to tell him some personal information, which I don't think he wants to hear. But yeah, I probably should talk to him. Yesterday I tried to write the paper on the subject for two hours and I'm serious when I said I only managed to write one sentence in those two hours. The rest of the time I freaked out because I don't really understand the subject, which means I won't be able to give a good presentation (which is awful since I'm already freaked out about giving the presentation in the first place).
