General update and foolishness

Well, things in the garden are coming to an end. I have managed to grow one beautiful pumpkin for Samhain, and I can actually see a few others trying to start, but I doubt they will be ready in time. I had one larger gourd, but it seems to have disappeared! I am very confused about that; do racoons eat pumpkins? I've bought abou 10-12 bales of hay, and I need to get started trampling down dead plants, and getting the hay laid down. I need to put 6-8 inches of hay all over the garden, and then the remaining bales will be placed on the grass by the edge of the garden to naturally extend the size of the garden.

A couple of Sundays ago, I went through some real stupidity on my part...you'd think I'd have learned by now that stopping my meds is bad, but nooooo... Anyway, long story short, I had to spend a night in the hospital, and then I was under "house arrest" at my Mom's for a week and a half. I'm rather embarrassed about the whole thing which is why I'm really not going into much detail about it. I'd rather just learn from it, and get on with life. Oooh, but the worst part was that I ended up getting a "talking to" from a really good friend in Vermont. This is someone I've known all my life, and he doesn't mince words. He said some very important things to me, and laid out the truth before me without dancing around the issues, so it actually was a good thing. I really love and respect him, and am grateful to him. So, Mr. Polar Bear, if you read this, thank you, and I love you, and I'm glad to have you as a friend.
