I'm ok, you're ok

I thought I should post an update to let ya'll know how things are going with me, my medication, and Benjamin. Basically, things are wonderful, and I include a "Thank You for modern medicine" in my prayers almost every day. I feel like myself again, which also means that I feel happy and content for no particular reason, other than that I have a fabulous blessed life, instead of feeling despairing and fearful for no particular reason, in spite of the fact that I have a fabulous blessed life. :o)

I actually want to cook and bake and organize and clean and make my house beautiful again, which is another way that I know that I'm feeling like myself. As a matter of fact my parents were here for Memorial Day weekend, and I not only cooked real meals almost every day, including some gourmet citrus sea scallops and fabulous bruschetta (my mom helped a lot, of course), but I baked a cake with chocolate ganache filling. SO YUMMY!!! We washed the porch, and did a whole bunch of yard work, including putting down red mulch, planting flowers, trimming bushes, and pruning trees. We also (well, mostly my dad) tore out an old bush that was half dead, and replaced it with 3 small gardenia bushes, so that now our front door is flanked by gardenias on either side. Can you say curb appeal? I will post some pictures of how cute the house looks as soon as I can.

It's just so great to be me again, I can't even tell you. Also, Benjamin has gotten over his colic, amazingly enough. It's like he turned 3 months old, and a switch was flipped, or something. Now he is an incredibly wonderful happy baby, smiling all the time, who eats like a champ. As a matter of fact, he just woke up from his nap, so I need to go. But things are great!!! Finally!!! :o)
