Better Living Thru Chemistry...

OK here's the short story.  I break my foot first week of march, that's three weeks after i got laid off but four days after my Kaiser health insurance kicked in.  So i'm hobbling around with a plastic walker cast on my right foot and that puts my whole body out of whack.  May i go see the doctor who diagnoses fibromyalgia because i hurt all over, but then the last thing she says to me is that a little lighgt daily excersize might be helpful.  four days later i get called back to work and i'm on tens six days aweek twisting pipe and humping 50 pound hubscrubs and drive motors.  by the time i go to my fibromyalgia class i no longer have any of the symptoms and except for my foot still hurting i'm back to normal.

I was so strung out from pain and the worry of being out of work that i switched from effexor back to prozac in may.  Prozac does damp down the panic and the depression but it also makes me extreamly with drawn and it became impossible to write or call or hang out with anyone outside of the cats and ronni.  Drinking 4 shots of vodka as soon as i got off work every day didn't help much either. 

much as i love being drunk it really had lost its appeal and i stopped drinking beginning of november.  Then I went back on effexor monday last and suddenly i've become much more the extroverted social butterfly i imagine myself to be.   it is absolute fact that a week ago i could not sit down and blog, even the thot of writing or calling anybody tied my stomach in knots.   things are so different today (i hear every mother say) and they're even yellow pills too.

Things Change...but not enough.

I have no idea what the title of this post refers to.  I did an hour ago but it has gone the way of 'Spit on a Griddle'.   I've been away so long i didn't know that there was a new editor and have been frothing and fizzing because everything i tried to post  wasn't co-operating.  ronni clued me in and now you can see how well i'm doing.

There's a there there after all!!!

                            maybe this will work let's see...

WHOA !!!  i've been away so long there's a new editor and i can make it do stuff! cHeCk this out!!!

Rain chain pixs again.  (once they're thawed i'm going to polish and lacquer the outsides so they won't tarnish so much.   I've another one in process that is made of a number of cheap (thrift store) glass bottomed pewter-esque mugs.  The plan is for the water to pour from mug to mug all the way down to the ground.) 

I'm sure I was here just a moment ago!

I really don't think I should have to apologize or explain my absense, I agree with the Duke of Wellington on that. All I can really say is to quote a very wise man who once said "what a long strangs trip it's been." That describes my entire life, even tho I have never thot of myself as more that "an ordinary average guy." So here's something new...

I have no idea why, but i have suddenly been fascinated with rain chains. (Actually I do know why, I don't want to fix the down spouts) Anyway spurred on by the purchase of a bunch of brass cones (I bought them because they were to cool to bypass and I was sure that I could find a use for them) here's pix of the rain-chain I made.

This compose post thing is more like COM-POST. I cannot figure out what I'm doing!!!
