| What is it with cats and boxes? |
Yesterday I started taking Ginseng. Took it again today and remarkably, I don't feel half bad. Aunt Flo is here again and she makes everything suck but all things considered I feel OK. Fortunately, I have chocolate on hand and that keeps her from going postal on everyone. Even after working in the yard for an hour I don't feel like I want to go have a nap. Not going to get too excited though. It could just be a good day.
Just as we came inside it started pouring. The wind is blowing and all my wind chimes are sending out splendid sounds.Oysters on the menu for tonight! Yum!
Good to hear you sounding more chipper -- yay! Amazing how young people are able to do almost everything with eye-rolling. I hear many good things about ginseng, though do be sure to let your doctor know you're taking it -- I believe it does have to taken with caution under certain conditions and when interacting with other meds.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that you had a much better day! Nothing like being outdoors to perk you right up. Hubby and I were outside in the garden doing garden stuff. We got a lot of fresh air and enjoyed it, but came in exhausted. Too much sitting around all winter and some muscles are in sad SAD shape. Eye-rolling teen didn't come outisde. She doesn't do gardening, she says, although removing weeds would be a big help to us. Maybe if I stop her allowance, it might motivate her a little...hm?
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is about cats and boxes, but they love them. Except for mine. My cats take no interest in boxes. Weird.
Snakes???
ReplyDeleteREALLY Birdie????
NO WAY JOSE!!!!
Oh, glad you spent the day outside...
We spent the day with Vivian...
She was as good as gold....again...
You'll figure things out...
You are a smart lady...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Ah -- spring chores with the whole family -- a bonding experience. I think highly of all the natural critters that you mention. I could use a black snake to guard against copperheads. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are feeling better. Several of my friends have found naturopaths and their recommendations very helpful. What is ginseng supposed to help with?
ReplyDeleteSnakes? You can keep them all. I am happy with spiders, but draw the line very firmly at snakes. One of our homes had a red-bellied black snake living under the front steps. I only used the back door for about ten months of the year (snakes are protected).
ReplyDeleteI hope the ginseng has turned the tide...
Glad you are feeling better. Probably getting outside in the fresh air has helped too. We had a good weekend in the UK and it sure does help all round really.
ReplyDeleteYou sound happier. They say that gardening is good for counteracting depression. No idea how - but it has been known to work for me.
ReplyDeleteI find that for a couple of days before Aunt Flo gets to my house, I'm so tired, if I sit still I fall asleep.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see some ivy or even a dandelion. I tell you, if the snow doesn't melt soon, I might be hopping on a plane and getting the hell out of here.
That sounds like a great day with all of that activity, even the eye rolling. Sometimes I find that a really active day helps boost my energy levels. Sometimes of course the opposite. Hope that the ginseng helps.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are doing better, aside from Aunt Flo visiting.
ReplyDeleteWorking out in the yard does a body good. I will be posting pictures I took this morning of all our flowers and potted plants I have that will be transplanted soon.
Stay well my dear.
Birdie love reading about your life because I can related. I mean yard work, ginseng, bad aunts, a rainy day and oysters: we all done it, live it and deal with it!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Sounds like a garden disaster. Not to worry though, you aren't alone in this. We had to fence of the landscape because the dogs just love messing with it.
ReplyDeleteLove the cat box picture.
I said it once, I'll say it again, I am totally envious of your garden, even your ivy.
ReplyDeleteI'm even more envious of your Aunt Flo right about now.
