April Anxiety

They gave me medicine for my anxiety in March and it's been doing a good job until the last couple of days and now I'm feeling the anxiety again in the afternoon. I don't know why, but I'll just have to see how things go and take it easy as our vacation begins and we get ready to head south to Georgia for my son's wedding. I absolutely hate feeling this way. I hate my stomach which seems to roil just a little bit. Should I take more of those little reddish pills? Take an extra white one? Maybe I'll have to call and ask next week. I'd call tomorrow but I don't know if Kathy is working tomorrow since it's Monday. We'll see.

Russell and I are great. We had a good week-end. Met Ed and Jen for lunch yesterday. Went to Border's and bought four books, 3 for me and one for him. I have so many new books right now that I want to read. Wish I had more time. Wish I had a pool to sit next to and read and work on my tan. I miss that a lot and will probably never do it again. I'm old now. lol

I look forward to seeing my sisters and brother at the wedding. Of seeing Chatty and Kerry. It will be interesting, I hope. And fun.

Enough for now. . . much feel better. Please, God.

I am a Simple Woman

I've decided a simple life is the best kind of life to have. Stacy's description of deer and the singing of birds in the morning while she's feeding the newest love of her life is a perfect example of this. I want things to be simple. Not necessarily "easy" but enjoyable and relaxing.

Can you tell this medicine I'm on is working well? It is. I'm not having the brain farts (did I tell you I went to the neurologist?) and am functioning the way I was in the past. I'm living my life the way I find it to be comfortable and fulfilling. Little things do that for me - wearing blue jeans to work when I feel like it, having a cookie when I want a cookie, snuggling my husband, buying a book, planning our trip to Georgia. . .

I think we should all do everything we can to simplify our lives so when those things do occur (broken bridges, cars, floods, illnesses) we can cope with them without having the rest of our life interferring with a solution until we get back to whatever feels normal for us.

And life goes on. . .
