Weekly Round-Up

Weekly Round-Up is where I collect all of my personal posts and favorite snippets from various web sites like Facebook and Twitter.  If you follow me on other sites, this may be redundant. 

This week's posts:
9/29- My sweet olive trees are blooming and they smell sooo good!! You can smell them from a block away (really). I have my windows open to let the scent inside.
9/28- Insomnia again, so I'm cooking tomorrow's dinner now.
-We had to put a tarp on my gazebo today. The stupid earth rotated, and now it's completely in the sun all afternoon. lol At least we can have some shade for the rest of the fall & winter now.
- Geaux Tigers! They're awesome even when they lose. 
9/26- Glory, Hallelujah!  The local news says we’ll probably be getting a cold front next weekend!

It’s waaay past time.  90 degrees in autumn is just wrong.

9/23- Today was very hard, but now I get to rest. Tonight= nice weather,chicken fajitas in the crock-pot,& craftiness & Netflix waiting.*exhales*

-Adventure Time toys=most overpriced toys ever

This was my Sunday night:

I discovered something wonderful.  This table fits over my recliner!  It’s big enough to hold all my necessities.

Also, Alex Kingston is in this episode of Law & Order….and her name is POND! (Doctor Who reference ;-))

Other interesting things from around the WWW:

We made S'mores dip.
It's good, but very sweet and rich.

You can find the recipe here.

I really like this leaf tutorial from Lucy at
Attic24. I might try to make a string of them
in fall colors.

*I didn't write the following, but I think it's important, so I'm posting it here*

what i mean when i say “i can’t do that” - the depression/anxiety edition

• i am unable to do that 
• i don’t have the energy to do that
• i cannot wrap my head around what you’re asking me to do
• there is too much in my head right now
• i can not do that 

what people hear: 

• i am unwilling to do that
• i am being stubborn for no reason
• i am being dramatic
• i am lazy
• i need you to repeat that only louder
• i need a push
• i don’t want to do that 

THIS!

Also because:

*I am feeling fragile and having to do just one more thing just may send me over the edge (into depression, panic attack, etc.)

* I am feeling anxious, over stimulated, and am unable to clear my mind enough to even consider doing what you’re asking.

* My mind just isn’t working correctly right now.

Until Next Time...
