What have I been up to? Life, unconcentrated.

Posted by melodieshouse on June 21, 2008

I have been sooo busy since my last post – we moved April 17, it took us a few weeks to get settled in, I’ve pretty much been SAHM and had no time to be WAHM until the last month, which I kicked off with an 11-day migraine episode and agreeing to take on a web development project for one of my husband’s IT clients so my Ebay and Internet marketing endeavors are still on the back burner. Since I’m also dealing with anxiety/depression, I’m not handling all this very well. I’ve learned I’m not the multi-tasker I would like to be and feel I really need to be. When I’m not productive in the way I feel I should be, I’m not a nice person to be around, because my emotional health takes a serious nosedive. Please pray for me that I get over the hump and get back on track still in possession of my mind.

That all being said, I’m so glad we moved, I really like the nice big house we’re in, I like the neighborhood, and I like the location (centrally located, close to interstate). We’re still renting not buying because my husband is still working on getting financing, but the rent is not bad for the size house we’re in.

Today I’m going to get some tomato plants from someone’s yard (thanks to Freecycle). We weren’t going to do any gardening this year because we were so busy, but after the salmonella tomato scare I think we’re now officially done with commercially-grown, mass-produced tomatoes (and pretty much any other produce of that kind for that matter) and I think it’s better late than never to get in on growing our own. So I’m heading out shortly to check out some books on square foot gardening, get the ‘mater plants, and make the time to get started growing. I’m also going to study up on composting and organics b/c I’ve always been interested in safe, chemical-free methods of growing and nourishing ourselves, my why has just never gotten so big as it has very recently, and you’ll start to see where I’m going with all this in upcoming posts.
