It must be. I think I forgot and took 2 Lexapro last night. I now know the word "buzz" firsthand as it relates to being over-medicated. I woke up in the middle of the night, and I felt like my nerve-endings were all buzzing. I realized that feeling that good was probably illegal, LOL. I know what you're probably thinking, but it was unintentional.
And I'm excited that it's payday tomorrow, because I think we have about $8 left in our account -- just glad not to be in the negative numbers. Oh, the joys of poverty! And I'm not really kidding, because the difference between payday and the days before payday can often provide a wonderful contrast that makes buying anything pretty darn exciting and wonderful. ;) But I do have good perspective on the situation. I do. I would rather do without a lot of things and be home with my kids than have better/more stuff. And I could really rant about this if I got started, but I'll spare any readers out there -- for today at least.
I was in the car for many hours yesterday because I was driving my daughter around to appointments and on errands. She and Mark are moving to their own apartment on Sunday! I'm so happy for them. ;) I love my daughter and son-in-law, but I know it will be good for them and for us when they have their own place. They have been really great since they've been here, but 8 people in our house is a little crowded, and groceries don't go very far at all. For several character-building days, we've had to eat boring stuff such as rice crispies or oatmeal for breakfast, or we've actually had to COOK THINGS. But I'm not complaining, because we still had plenty of food, even though the kids didn't like most of it.
I've been doing a lot of crocheting lately. My mom always picks up yarn for me whenever she can, and then Cassandra brought a whole bunch of it for me from Texas that her MIL didn't want. I have 3 large baskets full of yarn now. I can't just let it go and give it to the thrift shop like most things because I know I could help people with it -- but I'm about to get overrun with the stuff. I made 1 1/2 winter hats yesterday for humanitarian aid while I was waiting in the car and listening to Rush. If I can work just a little every day on a charity project, I may reduce the mountain of yarn. ;)
Oh yeah, I didn't mention that I got to go to yet another funeral -- actually a memorial service Tuesday night. I didn't know the guy -- I knew his wife -- sorta (as in I've seen her around, and she teaches Jason's Sunday school class). Anyway, I went to do the genealogy library, and I had to close it early for the memorial service. I was going to just go home, but Scott's Suburban broke down (just the heater hose) and he was in his suit because he was playing the organ for the service. So I was stuck because he needed to ride home with me. It's a real bummer to go to too many funerals. This guy was only 29 and died of congestive heart failure. He was a really large guy from what I gather. Oooo, but there were some very interesting people there. One guy really intrigued me. He had shaved his head completely bald, and had the bridge on his nose pierced. Plus, he had big round earrings in both ears -- not dangly, but the kind with posts. Sorta looked like women's earrings from the 80's. Anyway, this guy was either old, or had a rough life. He looked scary. And his ?wife had dyed her long hair jet black and she had a scary look about her too.
