    • About Me

      I live with my daughter, grandson, 5 dogs, 3 cats, and an assortment of hermit crabs. In September 2004 I suffered both an aneurysm and a stroke in my brain stem. I've had bad bouts of depression all of my life and have had times of prescription drug abuse!

    • Hug

      From NaomiJane Tuesday

      Yah I was kidnapped but not to Hawaii. I was kidnapped my Mother Nature, freezing my a-- off trying to get the yard wood done. I pulled one of my work in the dark tricks tonight. Get this. I pulled my truck up to the garden and turned on the lights and emptied 32 leaf and lawn bags of leaves and spread them. Then I backed it up and shined it on the shed so I could clean the shed. At least cleaning the garage was easy, it has it's own lights. Thought of you when I was doing the garden. Hubby at a hockey game of course or he would not let me do that. WELL DO IT YOURSELF IN THE DAYLIGHT!!!! Oh yah you asked about the Lamictal about 10 times...Sor. I did get the brand name. I was taking 300 mgs, and she upped me to 400 mgs 2 weeks ago and not gradual just added 100 mgs. Can't say that I feel much different. I would say a little manic...gardening in the dark...ya think. Not to worry when I am gone, I am not far away. Naomi xo
