We’re finally catching up and watching the episodes we’ve recorded off Sci-fi. So last night, we saw Carter, at the end of the episode, finally passing his weapons test with his deputy, naming the guns as he adds them back to the gun rack. “BMFG. . .” some number that I couldn’t catch because I was laughing so hard. Clever writers, to get that past the censors. Yeah, guys, it’s pretty obvious that stood for “Big Mother F***ing Gun”! Ha!
But between the Paxil withdrawal (heart palpitations, serious sleep deprivation over the last several weeks) and the allergies (congestion, sneezing, burning eyes and face, headache for two days now), plus the fact that I’m sticking to Weight Watchers very carefully and even added exercise with no evidence of weight loss, I’m feeling pretty all-around awful. Hating my life right now, feeling very sorry for myself, not seeing relief in my future. It’s bad, very bad. One of the wondrous things Paxil can do for you is induce suicidal thoughts, and I’d say that’s probably what’s happening. Pretty much ruins your whole day. I would never, ever, ever kill myself, but it sure would be a lot easier to ignore the stupid thoughts if I’d been getting more than 4-6 hours interrupted sleep a night for the last month and a half. I think I’m priming myself to join that class action suit against Glaxo-SmithKline.
The vegetable garden has pretty much been a bust, first garden here, horrible weather, not much dedication to gardening on my part, but we’ve had a few interesting sights.
This was supposed to be zucchini. As soon as it started to grow like a cucumber vine instead of a zucchini bush, I knew we had something not-zucchini. They’re long squash, and quite tasty except for the tough skin:
The tomatoes have also been largely unproductive, unless you’re a chipmunk or a pill bug, but this big ugly brute was right tasty:
Now, back in Bloomfield, where I had a busy, thriving garden, I begged for one of these guys to feast on the veggie parasites – even paid for egg cases that never hatched. Here’s our visitor doing a Superman impersonation:
There you have it – the sum total of the excitement in the vegetable garden all season long.
