BYC Café

Good morning, Cafe. Coffee is on.
Cool and rainy here today.

I'll take a cup of that if I may DL.
Good afternoon Cafe.
It's blowing a gale here. Stuff flying about that doesn't have wings!
Really dangerous at work. Lots of gravity and wind driven branches ripped off trees.
Now the sun has warmed the air the winds are backing off. The usually course of events is a bit of rain after such winds.

Yay I just got off my antidepressant, I have been on for much too long and at too high a dose - just because my doctor passed away from pancreatic cancer and his partner died from side effects of his treatment for lymphoma. I ended up seeing a once a month doctor at the Medical clinic and he had doubled my dose even though I was feeling fine.

Finally got my brains working and decided to stop it. I tapered off to one every other day, then half a pill ever other day and now NONE. So I am free to be ME again. Hopefully that means less brazen, less pushy, and more of me, if I can remember what I was.

I've been on this med since the mid-90's. Kind of the same thing happened with my older sister. She had been on a different drug longer than I. She got a new doctor and she told my sister she should have been taken off it many years ago. Duh, doctors just keep prescribing the same crap because they are so used to doing it. And don't want to waste face to face time to consider "enough is enough."

Hope I will be a new and improved diva, with sense of humor intact. Will have to see how this plays out.

Good morning Cafe

Thanks for the coffee, Tonya!

Another cold morning here, 41°....I know, I know, not to you guys in the North! Unusual sunrise this morning with a huge fog bank. Might get close to 70° today.

Everyone make it a great day!

Good luck DD. I hope you feel more like yourself!

It's national elections in the UK today. I'm tempted to wait up for the early results but I don't want to go to sleep depressed.
This election is of particular importance to me because if the current incumbents get back in with a majority the UK will most likely leave the EU. This would not be good news for me. I can stay in Spain legally because I'm a UK subject and the UK is in the EU.

Do you have a Plan B in case you can't stay?

Fort Cluck, "didn't miss anyone important" guess that means I don't get a present

Morning! I am a no soap, just hot water- sparingly to get the pan scraped and season with bacon once and awhile. I had a friend that would never wash her pan, no water at all, just heat and use salt and scrape and then wipe it clean. It seemed to work just fine.
It is snowing. We have to go get the truck out of the shop and have fun like that!
I hope you all have a great day!

Do you have a Plan B in case you can't stay?

Nope. I don't have many options for a plan B.
Nobody seems to know what will happen regarding the thousands of people like myself who have settled in the EU but still have British Nationality.
If my pension can still be paid abroad then I'll manage. If it can't be paid abroad I'll have to leave. There will be some interim period.
Without explaining in great detail why the referendum vote was initiated and a bit about British society and politics it's difficult to explain why I am spitting teeth in anger at the whole sorry business.
