Garden

Here are some pictures of my little garden. Mom, the "tea tree" is in the middle of the back row:

Here's a closeup of the strawberry jar, which contains the herbs that I bought:

It's great to see them when I leave in the morning or come home at night.

Symptoms

I haven't been keeping track of all my symptoms, and I should have been. Last week has been horrendous in terms of memory lapses; I don't know if they're because I wasn't feeling well or not. I got lost on the way home from Erik's and also almost lost control of my car on an on-ramp. I've been temporarily forgetting facts, such as my zip code, or what I've been doing. I got into a minor disagreement with a co-worker because she said that I forgot something that she said (via e-mail), and I haven't had a chance to check what was said. Etc. I had some problems with voices when the weather turned summery again, but they went away. Not a fun week.

I might start making entries such as this friends-only from now on, even if I don't have time to shut down my journal. (Mom, are you logged in?) They really are no one else's business but mine. I don't care who reads the cats-and-plants entries.

Under pressure....

There was an earthquake about a half-hour ago, just as I was getting home. I was getting my mail when it hit. I don't think that I've ever been outside during an earthquake before; it seems just wrong for asphalt to undulate.

I automatically moved away from the mailboxes and looked up to see if there was anything that could fall on me. Guess I've been here a little while-;)

The California kitties seem unfazed.
