You Also Know You’re Crazy When… The people at the pharmacy recognize my voice.
I fell off the swimming wagon but now I’m back and miss it every day I don’t go. I’m going to try to go 3x a week but I’ll consider 2x a week a success. Hell, even 1x is a success!
I'm having...side effects with my meds. But I'm on so many I have no idea what is causing what. They aren't continuous, they come and go but always come back. I see my psychiatrist in a month so I'll talk about it then. If they get really severe I'll try to get in earlier, which has a very low probability.
My most used and beloved handbag broke a few weeks ago. I mean, it ruled. There wasn’t a single time in the many years I used it that I didn’t get complimented on it everywhere I took it. RIP. So, I needed a replacement!

ReplyDeleteI was in Target the other day and the lady at the pharmacy counter caught my attention and called me over. She said, "What's your name?" I hesitantly told her and she said, "Do you remember me?" She looked familiar. She said I worked at Fred Meyer Pharmacy in the 80's!!! I did remember after she had told me that. We chatted for a bit & caught up. So, yeah, I know the feeling of everyone knowing your name at the pharmacy and then some! Hope that makes you feel a bit better :-)
On another note, I was watching, "The Chew" today and they were talking about a new cook book one had just completed & it made me think about your list of books for the kids library and I wondered if you had approached, through facebook, celeb chefs to see if they will donate their cook books for the kids library. Just a thought. Good luck.
Oh, that's a really great idea! I might try to make that as a project!
ReplyDeleteI have started picking books to read just off your lists and have been delighted with the results. I would love it if you made a "Heidi's List of Books That Every Woman Should Read". You are certainly the most well read person I know (and I know women with graduate degrees in Literature).
ReplyDeleteI am so flattered!!! It's funny, I can track my depression based on how many books I read. When it's only a few, it means I had a BAD month. I should totally make a list! Do you have a Good Reads account? You can see all the books I've read since 2008(ish)!
