DH was wondering why I haven't blogged in a while.  I guess I just don't feel very talkative.  He said that was true in real life too. 

Still making mistakes at work but not as many.  I'm just so forgetful.  People who aren't forgetful tell me to write notes.  They don't understand that it just won't help.  I'd have a notebook of things to read every few minutes.

Part of the problem is that my doctor is messing with my antidepressants.  We went down to one pill a day which is most certainly not enough and then on Friday she's going to decide whether to go back to 2 of these or add in a little of something else.  We're trying to keep my anxiety symptoms under control along with the depression.  Right now I do ok as long as everything is going well, but I don't have a lot of reserves for when something goes wrong.  I'm reminding myself that my meds are too low right now and that helps.  I will be glad when I get a little more help though.  I don't like the constant fight.

The garden is growing.  I have been spending huge amounts of time out there weeding and dividing and repotting and rearranging.  It is really nice.  Except when I'm sore during the first part of the week from digging all weekend.  We bought a rose bush and some coreopsis and a wallflower to add color between the daffodils and the summer stuff.  Pansies are good for that but I'd like to have color during the transition time without planting each year.  I really want to get a white spirea and some dianthus but I haven't yet.

I suppose that's all for now.  Just don't have much to say.  Sorry.

Oh. Right. I have a blog.

Yeah...  been busy, tired, lazy, pick one.

I've been at my new job for a month now, so that means I'm at the part of the learning curve where I screw up everything I touch.  Yay!  I hope I pass this phase quickly.  M and I have talked about some ways I can get all the stuff in my head faster.  Hopefully that'll help.

Still doing really cool stuff.  I got to go to a rock quarry, a transmission rebuilder, and an air traffic control tower.  Yesterday and today I'm sampling at one of the local hospitals. 

Tuvok and I attended the Bark For Life last weekend.  It is a fundraising event for the American Cancer Society, put on by Relay For Life.  Tuvok got lots of comments and compliments and won tallest dog.  He did so well with all the other dogs and people and I even took off the gentle leader after the first few minutes.  The gentle leader prevents the dog from pulling but they hate to wear it.  He didn't even need it once he got over his initial excitement of seeing his friends Lulu, Abby, and Jersey...and GRANDMA!!  He loves my mom so much!

She came to visit the weekend before and she was making turtle toys for the Bark.  Tuvok loved the turtle and he even fetched it for Mom.  He has literally NEVER played fetch before.  Never saw the point I guess.  But he played with Grandma!  He carried the turtle around in his mouth most of the day.  It was hilarious.  And then, when she left, he had no more interest in it.  He's a weird dog.

Bones slept on Grandma all night and Lilly loved and rubbed all over her while I brushed her.  Everyone had special Grandma time!

It has been unseasonably warm all Spring.  All the plants are confused.

Last year the redbud had 4 flower clusters.  Look at it now!

The cat shelves were a hit.
