update, getting thru it

My best friend called me a smart a** so I must be back to myself! (c:

I am me again. That was a horrible one. I guess I have to face I need effexor. Thats ok. Am grateful it helps me!

Learned to accept how I felt, took the help offered. Let myself heal as fast as I did.Cried a lot, mourned a lot. Got thru it. Kept hoping I would feel good again.

So I am feeling happy even! Can you believe it? Dogs are always cracking me up. Cling ons I swear. My son said maybe they are afraid they are being adopted out too. ick no way.
Four of them are surrounding me now sharing my lap blanket...

Not sure I shared that my little poodle Happy does not like my Pom too close to me. So he grabs my pom by his fluffiness and pulls him about 10 feet away from me! Those two are always going at it playing. Pop Pop the big shi tzu/poodle just jumps up and down and bats his paws like an idiot. He is NOT very bright!

I still have some fence to get down, but have LOTS piled up. Its a huge job. Uhaul on Sunday! I am so excited I could not sleep last night.Going to get my sons van today to get some wood he has for me. Then come home and put the panels on the top racks. Tomorrow go up unload and hopefully get my fence up or partway.

Be 16 foot panels you hook to t posts. Then I am stringing a hot wire along the top. Mostly to keep people and things out. I can tell ya right now, I will probably be the only one who gets zapped! haha

Direct tv, internet, landline is thirty dollars cheaper than the internet/tv I have now. I cannot believe it. AND it has all the channels plus I want.

Trying to find a nice used laptop I can trust. Thought I did but read it freezes and is slow. But its put together by this great computer place here. Its an older one hp presario? Anyone?

I need to be able to do computer in bed.

So anyway that is where I am at. I sure used all our slogans and more thru this. geez.

I gotta share this little thing about my grandson, Noah Orion. I call him sprout and squirt.

Rain  daughter, and him are on this program at U of O about the changes in her and Sprout since he was a baby.
 
They had her in one room, with a video so she could see him in another. They played all kinds of games with him. He scored over 90%!!
 
One thing was they put a pile of candy in front of him with another smaller pile. The gal told him, she was leaving the room. If he stayed in his chair until she got back, he could choose which pile he wanted. But if he ate some of it he would not get any.

Sprout was just turning five, cute face, curly brown/golden hair, always smiling, always funny.
 
Rain said the gal was gone 10 min! Sprout would lean way over every way in his chair, tap fingers etc. lol Then he layed wayyyy over one way, way over another,  He picked up this sticker he saw on the floor.....and ate it!! lollol
 
The lady came back, He says to her, "I have something to tell you. I ate a piece of paper." lol This kid is a warrior tough little guy, no wus. We were not sure if he could make it in kindergarten! lol
 
I asked him what the paper tasted like? He said NOTHING silly. lol
 
He was telling us jokes in the car about a duck who's feathers all got blown off, he fell on a car, and then hit his head on a sign.....what a goofball. It was fun. How do you fix a broken tomato? tomato paste! on and on.

He is so much fun.

My pig birds with wings are eating me out of house and home. Morning doves, red wing blackbirds, finches, chic a dees, toe hees so many.

So if all goes ok my stuff will be up there Sunday. I will have just enough things here to live till I go up. Still gotta be here for a week or so.

Maybe.....thanks for your support you guys. Another tough time you helped get me thru! love,deb

Hi Deeb

Thanks for the enriching update!!! I have a HP Presario laptop and am very happy with it .  In fact my last tower computer was also an HP Presario and it was wonderful until I fried it by using too many appliances at once.  If you can get a good deal on that laptop you would be wise to think about it.

I reallly appreciate hearing from you and seeing how  you are the alanon program in action.  One of the reading in the courage to change said  "We cannot just pray and expect HP to do all the work"  We must back up our prayers with actions  You have certainly done that and it is so very powerful to see

Thanks for being here and good luck on your next adventure in living

I love your update, Debilyn. Thank you!  Yes, sometimes just getting through it can be such an accomplishment.

The stories you tell of your grandson are precious!  The one with the candy, I believe is a test of emotional intelligence. The official test was the "Marshmallow Theory",  and assessed one's abilty to defer gratification. Supposedly, it is a good indicator of impulse control, which is said to be linked with academic acheivement and success in life.  Yay! for Orian! My youngest son would totally rock that test too!

Sounds like you are working hard and enjoying the good stuff.  I am so glad you are feeling happy again!

 

Blessings,

Lou

Hi Debilyn! I am also back on medication and was really upset that I couldn't do without it, but I realized it is a blessing to me because it makes me feel better! Why wouldn't I want something that takes away the fear and panic and anxiety? Glad you're feeling better!

PS - I also have an HP laptop and it is great...never had any problems with it for 4 years
