Katie, you have never done anything at a relaxed pace. So happy you are making waves with those people. Rocking the boat is always a good thing. I have been rocking boats since I as a kid. "If you do not conform, you will never succeed". I was told that many times during my youth. I was not a bad kid, just did not like stupid rules and I knew the difference. One time someone burned the Homemaking books. (Remember those). We all had to write the constitution all day for several day until someone would fess up or tattle. i was a junior in high school and finally on the 3rd afternoon, I stood up, said I did not do this, I did not know who did this and I was not going to do this anymore. And I got up and walked out. About half of the auditorium followed me. What were they going to do, expel half of the school.

I worked in my landscape for the majority of the week. No appointments this week. Side effects of Effexor XR withdrawal are dwindling. That was a shocker. And I was a total bitch. My poor DH had a look on his face of "Where did my sweet wife go". High high anxiety but I killed that with garden work. Nauseous has finally relented. And I no longer have muscle pain at night and I am finally back to loving to go to bed to go to sleep.

So my spring flowers are mostly gone because of the early arrival of heat. But as soon as the flowers fried, the heat cooled down. We have had rain and cloudy days and that has been wonderful.

My back landscape is finally close to my liking.

I lurk everyday and wish you all great things and minimal pain daily.

I have had Emily (statue) for over 20 years. My mother and I came across her at a small lovely garden shop in Santa Barbara. Emily as my mother's middle name. This is the view out of my kitchen sink window.
