to meet a djolly word like this..
just from a poem.
I'm djollydjolan. I found squalorsurvivors for my mom several years ago. It made a huge difference in both our lives. My mom got hit by a truck and died almost six months ago now and I'm left with all her stuff as well as my own depression induced filth. I didn't have the worst time with squalor before, I'm a neatfreak. I really really really have issues with things being dirty.
but gosh golly i like stuff. shiny stuff. colourful stuff. stuff to play with. so. I have alot of stuff. And then I spend a few days not really getting out of bed much. and wowsa the place gets nasty.
Because I also have a menagerie. Did I mention I like living things? I think I'm starting a japanese maple forest on my balcony. Really. I live in an apartment and I have 6 trees. SMALL trees. But how many people in apartments have trees? That's not counting the very small citrus trees that are inside. They really are SMALL trees though. The banana plant. that's not so sad. but it fits so nicely with the tropical citrus.. You see how this goes.. right?
Nice to meet people.

hi djollydjolan;
I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. Wow, that is really heavy to then be left with all of your mom's stuff. No wonder you're depressed. Depression takes a toll on environment for sure.
I love the idea of your tiny forest! I love living plant beings too, and of course shiny pretty things. It's the not getting out of bed or letting things go from depression that gets things out of control in no time. I can relate to your intro. i live in the pacific northwest too! of course we love trees!
Very nice to meet you, and I look forward to knowing more about you. So glad you made it here to the new group; we hadn't met in SS, mainly 'cause I use WITs to try to get something, anything done, so I may have missed your posts.

Hey creative chaos,
you social butterfly you. yeah, gotta love the trees if you're from around here. hmm i have a hard time with the wits post because i don't naturally do things in groups of 3s so it doesn't work too well, eh.
look forward to seeing you around, take care fellow PNWer

Hi DJ,
I remember your first post on SS what now seems like a long time ago...I think I had joined not long before you so your post stuck in my mind. It's lovely to see you here. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. I hope you continue to find support here on this new board. I used to be Ruby's Angel or RA but am starting afresh with a new name.
You made me smile when I read about the japanese Maples...I will have to keep DH away from you as he only has 4 in his collection so far but he always heads off for that area when we go to the plant nursery.

hey onandup... thank you for writing.. missing mom terribly. there's a huge gap in my life. i've lost loved ones before but i've never felt like curling up and dying like this before. missing mom terribly.
hey moineau, I remember you from SS. I wish I'd had my camera yesterday or i would have taken a pic of something i saw. there was this house out in the country but their entire drive way was landscaped with huge rocks with ferns peeking around them and seriously. maybe 2 dozen tiny tiny tiny japanese maples. there were a few smaller ones in the yard closer to the house. it was adorable as is. but i can't imagine how great it will look if they aren't disturbed in the years to come and get to grow up... ahh people after my own heart.
