Happy Pills are no!

Note to readers (my lovely Baggees): For the avoidance of any doubt - every character in this blog is me!!! No Baggy was harmed in its writing.

Baggy's daily state!
Depression (Black = really bad/Grey = not great/Blue = okay/Yellow = sunny day): Grey.
Anxiety (From 1 = barely any to 10 = gibbering wreck standard): 6. 
Tears: Just assume there have been lots on a daily basis.

Right-ho lovely Baggees, Clever Bird has decided that it's high time to take hold of Hormonal Hannah once more. She has been getting rather too stroppy/teary/snappy and anxious for Freda Fretter and Pepper Pooch's liking - probably number one furry's too, but he's way too supportive to say as much. Clever Bird considered putting Hannah back on the original happy pills she was on (as she has some left), but she decided against it. Most of the gang would rather that Baggy was happy pill free, especially now they've realised that the pills a) stopped most of their feelings - including the excessively happy ones and the empathetic ones and b) that they were destroying her stomach lining!

As a happy pill alternative is therefore necessary, Clever Bird revisited her 'Stress Management' course:

• Get up early and make the bed - okay, admittedly a total fail there.
• Get out and about - fail two, as Hannah is too dominant at present: she stopped Grotty Groom from seeing her boys yesterday and today she even stopped Furry Mama from leaving the house.
• Get some exercise and enjoy nature - yay! Gloria Gardener took charge, she couldn't leave the house, but she could get out into the garden. Win, win: Fresh air, exercise, positive happy whatsits from the soil, garden improved a tiny bit and Furry Mama could play with the pooch at the same time.

As it's (kind of) autumn, and it certainly feels like it is, Clever Bird decided on some major tidying. Now there is a distinct possibility that this was not wise, under the circumstances, however, Clever Bird lit a bonfire.

Yep, she took her eyes off it to speak to the neighbour, and it kind of leapt out of the burner-thingy - more of a towering inferno, than a bonfire, but a couple of hours later....

Nearly all the bits burnt!

• Eat regularly and healthily - nice lunch. But then Baggy got so tired she went to sleep for nearly four hours.
• Stay busy and occupy your mind - Creative Clara is blogging, adding exclusive bits to The Baggees' Forum (group) on Facebook (please do join, every Baggee from everywhere is very welcome - if English is not your first language - no problem, Clever Bird will figure out how to use translator :) ), and making stuff.

•  Relax - well, she's trying..........
