Day 73 since I started bupropion at 150mg.
Day 20 since bupropion was increased to 300mg.
Day 4 since I started escitalopram at 5mg.

Still meowing.

Congratulations Kittyman! Keep purring along!

That's quite something to be proud of, Mark. I'm delighted that you are getting closer to a place you want to be and should be in. You're certainly earning it!

Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive!

I agree. Very good progress!

Many +1s!!

Yay, Mark!!! We're all cheering for you!!!

Well.........
Thank you very much, Dr Who Fan, Iona, Gordon, Chris, Jimbocous, and Angela.
Words of encouragement sometimes can help one along as much as the meds.
And even a kitty cheerleader! LOL. Very cute.

Meow meow meow!

May I add a plus one to Angela's post? :)

Hang in there Mark :)

With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

Thanks, Annie and Mike.

And today was my 17th anniversary of crunching Seti.

Other than that, all quiet on the kitty front.
Back to work tomorrow after this nice week of vacation.
We'll see how that goes with the new meds.

Meow.

Mark is Obamacare paying for that? I doubt it, you probably have employer provided insurance tax free.

I have coverage through my employer. My share of that coverage I pay for out of every paycheck.
I also cover the co-pay on the meds out of pocket.

Just wondering how your newly planted trees are doing.

Just wondering how your newly planted trees are doing.

Very well, thank you.
The 4 Austrian pines I planted first have almost 8-10" candles on them. They are very happy trees.
The Orange Rocket Barberry bush has finally shown some signs of life and has some 2-3" new growth.
The Cathedral Elm I planted in the back yard has been slowly sprouting new leaves.
The Colorado Blue Spruce I planted next to the stump after the storms blew down my 60' pine is not showing much in the way of new growth. But, it's not dropping it's needles either, so I am hoping it perks up in the next few weeks.
The 14 hosta plants I scattered around the edges of the back yard don't seem to be doing much. Not sure they get enough sunlight through the mature trees. But at least the rabbits haven't eaten them yet.......RabbitScram seems to be working.
And the 4 Ligularia Rocket plants I put in last week were dormant root divisions. I'll be hoping to see them start to sprout maybe late this week.

And that's the kittyman gardening report.

The kitties want to know if you planted any of this:

Actually, I did. Forgot to mention the catnip. I planted 6 seedlings in early spring, because last year's batch did not come back. I think it gets a bit too wet for them during the spring thaw and rains.
But this year's crop is doing well, and presently they have tiny white flowers on them. Hoping they are strong enough to come back next year without replanting. I give the kitties a bit to play with once in a while. Will have to dry some and see if they like it as much as the catnip oil spray that I get for their toys.
Don't have too many ferals around here, but there are a few neighborhood cats that are allowed to wander. I have seen one or two back there perusing the goods.....LOL.

Meowsniffsniffmeoooooooooooooooooooow.

It's hot as heck here, and we need rain. Are you watering your new friends?

Started watering a few things. So far this year, the rain has been mostly enough.
Starting to get a bit dry now.
Some storms passing to my south right now, but every time the radar shows something coming my way, it seems to fizzle out just before it reaches here. So far, nothing but a few sprinkles.
Watering is on the list for tomorrow if the rain does not help out.

Meow.

But, odd though.

That was a GREAT cover! The most powerful performance and video of that song I have ever heard. wow.

I haven't been following your writing all over the message areas. But I think you have a POV that should continue to be here. I hope this will NOT be your "last thread".

Your kitties would miss you on here.
