I'm not sure if Iain picked this up in kindergarten, or from one of his beloved Nick Jr. shows, but until recently he'd been referring to string cheese (one of his favorite snacks) as "cheese like a round."
Now it's "cheese like a cylinder."
I love my kids, I really do...

We are having so much fun! My fiance was finally able to get his storage things bought down from Maine, and we now have his mother's china cabinet, dining room set, and bookcases, as well as other things that he grew up with. Our house is really shaping up now, with the combination of his things and mine. I also got to meet my brother-in-law to be, who had to come to the states (from Scotland where he lives and teaches). He drove the moving van down to FL and stayed overnight. I am so tired now!

Definitely feeling creaky here. I had a tiny hernia, although as I think about it I don't know what the sizes of hernias are, and I had a short surgery and a long pain. I'm still hobbling about five days later.
Everything is blooming so beautifully outside.

Ah, I hate surgery! I hope you recover your equilibrium soon, lelia!

Thank you all. I am feeling better. No pain meds today so far. I was able to plant almost all the little guys waiting to get in the ground. I think I can finish tomorrow. I pulled up one of last year's cabbage with hundreds of pure yellow flowers and gave it to the chickens to have fun with.

Okay, some stubborn malware has fracked my ability to Google anything, so I turn to my friendly neighborhood hive-mind.
What can cause one to experience all the physiological symptoms of anxiety (rapid, shallow breathing, head "buzz", minor tremors, irritability, etc), while not actually being anxious about anything? If I had a specific incident causing me anxiety, I could deal with it logically - but it's hard to reason away an emotional state with no apparent cause.

That has happened to me too. what I found to cause it: 1. low blood sugar (often, I don't feel hungry when I am)
2.caffeine in excess (started when I past um, 40 something) 3.lack of sleep or interrupted sleep, 4. fighting off a virus while not actually being ill. |

Those are generally panic attacks. I used to get them at midnight in my bed once a month, exactly ten days before menses. Menopause took care of that, but I don't think that's an option for you.
