More Prednisone

I have been up since 4 am today and have already cleaned out the debris under the shrubs in my back yard. Where does this manic energy come from and when will I just drop in my tracks! This is not a typical pattern of behavior for me.
Which gets me back to an earlier question - what is "me?" The me on prednisone? Effexor? On will power?
I keep morphing into other versions of Pattee - so which one is Pattee? All of them? This is too circular for so early in the day!

A hot hot day - already 91 with more humidity than my shower. I have lived here in the Baltimore area for 16 years and have not acclimated to this climate. I do love the growing season. Long and showy. I remember trying to garden in Syracuse and it was always a struggle to get lush and extravagant blooms, thick stands of flowers. And spring was always a crap shoot. So I did not do much with bulbs. Here my spring is a riot of color, solid blooms like a rainbow. Every day is like Christmas, going outside to see what has come up today. What a gift!

It is a bad ozone day again. So indoors for the rest of the day for me. I am trying to get used to checking air quality daily now. Something I completely took for granted - breathing - has become a focus now. I find that my lungs start to strain if I am out too long, I get the deep pain as I inhale. Hard not to notice. But a month ago I was recovering from a lung biopsy and struggling to breathe. Today I am out weeding, raking, lifting and lugging - enormous changes.
