The building SOLD ! I am so grateful that we did not have to "eat" this sum of money and that someone was able to buy it that really needed it. She is paying a huge sum of money each month to store her household of furniture until she can get in her own home and now can move her things to the building and save the monthly fee. Then when she moved into her own house she plans to turn the building into a little house for her 18 year old son to have his own space. Yay...Yay...Yay
And another bit of news is that I went to my doctor yesterday and he put me on an anti-depressant called LEXAPRO. I do not have a history of depression and did not know I was depressed and he is not totally sure ( you know I could just be plain NUTS) but he thinks the problems I am having with my memory,confusion, lack of motivation and making decisions that are out of character for me may stem from depression. So he said this drug is quick acting and that I should begin to start seeing a difference in a few days even.
Well Punkin is in the woods again this weekend and all my chicks (yes, I know they are full grown hens) are at the state fair. It's just me, Toby, Lou (the louder than loud Conure) and the new pup, Tootie who cannot hold her pee and is an neurotic as can be are here by our lonesome. Toby had a bad seizure last night and he is sleeping in this morning and I have Tootie out on the back porch so she won't bother him. Also she has my house smelling to high heaven. So I will have to make a Fabreeze run today.
I had lots of activities planned for this weekend, but since I did a very silly thing and went a couple of weeks ago and got my new short haircut cut off even more until I feel like a boy...............Now when it gets time to do what I planned, I back out because I just don't want to get out of the house for anything other than church or the necessary shopping. I just feel almost what feels like "shame". I know that sounds irrational but it is what it is and I likely won't go places until my hair grows more which will be another month at least.
Happy Halloween, Trick or Treating and Happy Fall and Happy Weekend, Happy Saturday and just be HAPPY. Be Safe and you do know don't you that Jesus loves you?
Honey, I'm on Lexapro also. My daughter participated in a study at Stanford University with it and told me about it. I LOOOOVE it. And yes, it does make a difference.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you sold the building and are perking up finally. Tough road you've had for a while.

So glad that building sold!! I think that it is a great idea to try the Lexapro! Depression is a sneaky thing and really you have so many reasons to be depressed that this should help. The hair, gosh we have all done these crazy things. it will grow.
ReplyDeletehugs,linda
I'm also so happy the building sold. And I have seen what a difference a med for depression can make. I applaud you for be willing to try it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Praise the Lord that the building sold! I know that was a LOAD OFF as you put it! I hope that the medicine will make you feel better. Sometimes we just need a little help and I agree with Doris, way to go for trying it!
ReplyDeleteNOW, the hair? Girl, I have been there but mine was with color! MANY years ago, I decided to try to color my own hair... it was PURPLE, yes PURPLE! I was so embarassed and only went out when I had to. Well, I went with the kids to a local fair and heard someone ask my daughter "what did your Mom do to her hair"? I almost cried, but got over it pretty quick:) If you use Pantene, it makes your hair grow... so I've been told!
Big HUGS and I laughed out loud at your comment about the picture of us at Church last Sunday! If you want to frame it, I'll help you with the names:)
Have a blessed Saturday!
I glad you sold it. With all you have gone through this year you maybe having some depression. My doctor also says grief and depression are hard to tell a part. May God wrap His loving arms around you. God Bless You.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo, so happy that the building sold sweetie. Praying the new medicine will help you. I love you, enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteI AM HUGGING YOU MOLLYE IN LOVE AND PRAYER.EVERY SYMPTOM YOU HAVE HAD, I AND EVEN MY HUSBAND HAS HAD. I AM ON 3 ANTIDEPRESSANTS SINCE AMY WENT HOME.
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE STILL IN THE STUNNED STAGE. JAKE'S GOING HOME WAS JUST A SHORT TIME AGO. I THINK YOU HAVE BEEN VERY BRAVE AND AN INSPIRATION TO ALL OF THE BLOGGERS.
AMY WAS ON LEXAPRO. IT MADE HER FEEL FUNNY AT FIRST AND A FRIEND WHO ALSO WAS ON IT, TOLD HER TO TAKE IT AT NIGHT AND IN 3 WEEKS IT WOULD BE FINE...IT WORKED AND SHE ALWAYS TOOK IT AT NIGHT BEFORE SHE WENT TO SLEEP. I MAY DISCUSS IT WITH MY DR. I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DO MY ART AND SOLITUDE WITH THE LORD.
WE BOTH KNOW THAT GRIEF IS A DIFFICULT THING...I USE TO WORK WITH BURN VICTIMS AND HOW THEY SCREAM DURING DEBRIDEMENT....I HAVE FELT PAIN AS IF PIECES OF MY HEART ARE BEING TORN AWAY BUT YOU CAN'T SUPPRESS IT OR HIDE FROM IT...YOU HAVE TO WALK THROUGH THE FIRE. MY HAIR IS STILL FALLING OUT...I THINK YOUR NEW HAIRCUT LOOKS SOOO VERY BEAUTIFUL ON YOU...THAT IS MY VERY FAVORITE PICTURE OF YOU.
I PRAISE GOD YOUR HOUSE SOLD...PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW.
LOVE YOU MOLLYE
I THINK JAKE AND AMY ARE DANCING IN HEAVEN...HE IS TENDING THE FLOWERS AND SHE HAS HER EASEL OUT PAINTING HIS FLOWERBEDS...THAT THOUGHT MAKES ME HAPPY. IT TAKES ME TO A PLACE OF TOTAL HAPPINESS...MAYBE IT IS ESCAPING FROM THE PAIN BUT I BELIEVE THAT SHE IS PAINTING HIS CREATIONS IN THE FLOWER BEDS OF HEAVEN.
JESUS'S SWEET PEACE TO YOUR FAMILY MOLLYE
HUGS AND LOVE
SIMPLY DEBBIE
So glad to hear the building sold. Hoping you have a good weekend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteGlad you sold the building!
ReplyDeleteLexapro was the med I used to be on. She changed me to Zoloft a year or so ago. I have clinical depression. Those little pills work wonders!
Take care of yourself!
I am glad the deal with the building worked out. Do not feel guilty about being on pills for depression.. Since my husband died I have lost my motavation and I too hate to get our. Depression just sneks in the back door without us knowing it. I have been taking a pill for my depression and anixety..
ReplyDeleteGod Bless and take care
