I've been wresting with depression, still, where depression may be a type of ADHD mood volatility. (No suicidal ideation, can distract myself more or less.)

This morning i am thankful that the mood seems to have abated somewhat. I remain clear that i should withdraw my membership from my Quaker meeting. I remain clear that my current focii are more or less appropriate.

My sister spoke yesterday about a project on which she is embarking - rescuing her daughter's theater friends from the shut down of the theater company -- and how she is thankful she understands more about how her mind works well so that she can manage her engagement in the project better.

I'm thankful for some sunshine this morning, although the clouds are moving in.

I wanted to take today off for yard work, but feel too overwhelmed to do so; i'm thankful for a mostly meeting free morning in which i can try to get things done.

I ponder the post surgery period in April while i wait for my nose to heal and realize i should probably be getting questions together. I have talked to my coach about movement to do during that period.

I've put off buying old type dahlia bulbs (they are edible!) so i don't have to sort that out in the garden. I do want some edible daylily bulbs. Trees will be arriving today to be planted: two mayhaws and a wild-type Chickasaw plum. Fine, i'd said no more plants, but i am ordering another native plum with eating quality fruits, a selected hazelnut seedling to go with my four wild type hazels, and the Kwanzo daylily to put on the shadier edge of the garden plot as a perennial veg. The daylilies can cope with the shade, where dahlias are going to need a little more care and thought. Maybe dahlia and asparagus and wine cap mushroom planning this fall.

I hope you continue to feel better, and wish you continuing joy with the plants :-)

all of this and we all know better, so do you, there will ALWAYS be more plants, that's half the joy and fun of them =)

Those sound like glorious trees!

May all be successful and impossibly smooth in your operation and your healing.
