Gorgeous weather for walking. Outside! That was fun.
Yum yum yummy fish and chips.
Dinner with the Duncans and the girls.
Sweet birthday gathering for Tom and Jeni with the fam.
Coupons for free tulips from the grocery store. Yes.
Current version of seriously-happy.com. More changes on the way. Meanwhile, UNICORN!
Me, doing my version of being a grownup. It involves lots of legos.
Sunshine, thunder, snow, wind. March is so funny!
341. Walk with the kids. Bird tree!
342. Nice visit and walk with Jeff.
343. The amazing symmetry of this flower. More amazing nature… just how did this whirlybird seed get impaled on the spiky plant? Wow!
344. Amazing trees in my neighborhood… faces and Easter Island heads!
345. Super fun and delicious dinner with the Delaneys. Body art by Ruby. 😉 
346. Good night’s sleep. Productive day.
347. Surprise coffee with Cina who showed up this morning and said, “Hey, it’s mom coffee date day.” Sweet!
348. Thundery morning. Helpful appointment with Melinda.
349. Good check in appt with my heart doc. Staying the course, no bad effects from meds. Plus, Amy is sweet and so fun to talk with. I like having a good health team.
350. Surprise visit from Katie and Cina — they even brought me coffee! Nice visit with my brothers as we drove down to Rochester. Good to see Debb, Tim, Beth and Blair — even if it was in the hospital waiting room. Glad Dennis is improving!!
351. Multi-colored flower. Beautiful weather.
The fatigue from low BP, meds, health issues has hit me pretty hard this past few weeks. Most days I just didn’t have the energy to do much of anything. I’m happy to report that I’ve had a couple better days this week. Woohoo! So here’s a week or so worth of what’s been good… 😀
333. Nice little chat with Debb. I so appreciate people patiently reaching out to me — especially since I’m not doing much reaching out / replying / responding these days. Midweek day off from work. Okay, with the fatigue I didn’t have much of a choice, but I am so lucky I have a boss who’s so understanding… 😉 Gorgeous full moon.
334. My wonderfully supportive and helpful therapist who’s helping me traverse this depression. 
My wonderfully supportive and helpful family who love me even when I am less than sparkly. My wonderful and supportive friends who also seem to love me even when I’m not so sparkly.
335. Coffee! Toby in a box, er, bin. Really fun time hanging out with the kids.
336. Air conditioning. Holy moly, I have appreciated that so much this week! My idea for a lemonade-mobile where I drive around the city on really hot days and pass out cold lemonade and water to anyone who has to work or be outside on those days. Oh, and a cocoa/coffee-mobile for cold winter days. Wouldn’t that be a fun thing to do!? Maybe someday I’ll do it! Mckenzie, who’s helped me with all manner of projects this week – none of which I could have done on my own.
337.Wonderful, thunderful morning lazing on the couch with the windows open. Lovely. Cina — for finishing up her EMT classes and giving the kids and me a reason to a) plot and scheme secretly b) build things with legos c) spend time with a bunch of really nice people at a surprise party! Really good garlicky hummus.
338. Walking up to the farmer’s market with only a little bit of dizziness. Yay! Cuddly cat couch time. Early bedtime!
339. Waking up with some energy! After more than a week of waking up feeling exhausted, it was such a relief to feel like doing something — and so nice to be able to accomplish a little Skynote work, a little cleaning, a little work on the basement. Pretty flowers and weeds from my yard. 🙂 Hanging out with the kids in the newly, more inviting living room. I didn’t think another couch upstairs would work, but it really does!
340. Nice visit with Mom and Dad this morning… including the satisfying task of helping them organize their front closet! 🙂 3-nap days. The new living room arrangement makes those naps even more comfy. Farmer’s market rainbow carrots. Yummy!

Beautiful weather. I love the cooler temps!
My excellent health team. I like my doctors so much. They are really wonderful.
Insurance. I am so grateful to have good insurance. The past few years would have been a nightmare without it. Today it saved me over $600 in prescriptions. Yikes.

Morning walk with Katie. So many pretty gardens in the neighborhood!
Delightful errands…including hearing a busker singing at the co-op. What a fun and unexpected treat!
Evening walk and bunny sighting. 🙂 The weather these past few evenings has made for such pleasant walks.
Lovely impromptu visit with Jeff and Maura who were out on their porch as I was returning from my walk. Fun!
Lilies. Beautiful!
The perfect weather & temperature for a walk today. Sweet.
Still finding glitter on my face and clothes from Pride. Hahaha. The glitter that never ends. 😉
306. Hawkins Automotive. They always do such a great job and are friendly and fast, too! Fun and productive meeting with Sara. Playing Bananagrams with the kids during the thunderstorm. Minneapolis skyline at night. Theo Wirth Pkwy.
307. Trees with faces. Perfect weather for a walk. Summer purples and yellows and whites, oh my.
308. Being the Minneapolis hub for Katie and Cina! I love the lunchtime visits with Cina and the before- or after-meeting/rehearsal visits with Katie. So sweet to see my girls so often! 😀 # happymama
Starting to see some relief from the depression. How fortunate I am to have a solid support network of awesome friends and family — and meds to help when the non-pharmaceutical methods aren’t quite enough. #onedayatatime
The promise of thunderstorms. I love stormy weather!
253. Magically reappearing things…. like my Fitbit, which fell out of its little sleeve thing some time between 7:30 am -10:30 am in one of the 3 rooms I’d been in, and which then disappeared for the day. (Srsly – we shook out bedding, checked behind and under everything, looked everywhere.) It magically reappeared ON TOP of the quilt on top of me after a nap… a quilt which had been shaken out and moved several times. Pretty nifty. 😉
Pushing through lethargy to get something I wanted done done.
Peppermint oil for helping with sinus issues since I can’t take Sudafed for it while I’m on this new med. Not quite as effective, but better than nothing!
254. Sunshine! Oh, how I love sunshine. Especially after so many days of gray. Hello, beautiful!
Really lovely walk with Sarah and Ida. So great to spend time with these darlings and in such nice weather. We walked up to the Rose Gardens and it was so amazing to be outside and to go for a long walk. Made me feel practically human again. 😉
So many nice puppies and puppy owners on our walk! Two beautiful German Shepherd-Malamute sweeties and a humongous and friendly Golden Doodle. I love being able to play a little with dogs…who are not my responsibility! 😀
Flowering things!
Another nice walk with my walker, Mckenzie. 😉
Super cool book that arrived in the mail from Pam. Thank you, sweet friend!!
(today!) Waking up in my own bed. Such luxury!
Sitting on the couch watching birds flit from branch to branch on the tree outside the window. Listening to bird songs and looking out at a beautiful and sunny day.
Katie and Cina, for staying with me for a few days while I get back on my feet. Literally… 😛
Pretty flowers and plants and cards, oh my! Thank you Laura & Jeff, Sarah, Ruby, and my wonderful Cheezeball friends!
Nap nap nap nappity-naps. How funny to be waking and sleeping in this off-kilter way.
My mom & dad for dropping off a shower chair this morning.
Taking. A. Shower!!!!!!!!!!!!! Srsly. So good. 😀
Stunning, sunny warm-but-not-hot weather. Mmmmmmm. 😀
Fun work session with Alison and Amy. I love mixing friend time with good productive work time!!
Late lunch catching up with Alison. It had been way too long!
Walking through a forest of sunflowers — 6 or 7 feet high on either side of the sidewalk. Magic!
