Hi Everybody

How is everyone? How is everyone's week going? Mine is ok. Hubby is a completely different person since Lexapro. I guess I am going with it pretty well. He is kind and loving and sweet and he is just like he was. Me, I am cranky and irritable and almost 4 months pregnant. We have been enjoying our time together and doing things together and it is nice. I wish I was a bit more loving, but you know, the hormones and all. I've had more energy lately, I don't know if my depression has lifted a bit, or the second trimester has a hand in that - whatever the case, it works...Its much easier to get housework accomplished. I hope everyone is doing well.

My hubby did great on Lexapro for many years, it was like he was a different person. Unfortunately it didn't work long term for him. Just take care of yourself and that little one!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
