Another day, another day

-

I am feeling much better than yesterday. I still have my good and bad days. There are fewer bad days. I was so tempted to take to the bed yesterday. Instead, after some homemade quesadillas and tomato soup, I went through the task of separating my clothes. Putting up the winter clothes, taking out the summer clothes and preparing the donation pile. I hit shuffle on computer for my music. I had a nice time. I am quite the clothes horse. My closet is now organized and if I get the new job, it will be easier to pack.

I am looking forward to this weekend. Even though, it has been awhile since I was around people on a constant basis. I am working on not being so isolated so I am taking toddler steps. This weekend is a big step. I found out yesterday that my mother-in-law has pneumonia and my father-in-law had heart monitor put on. They are really great people. My sister-in-law will take care of my son while i am away.

I can't wait until we know for certain about my son's medical condition. My husband is being so cautious now that I waiting for him to wrap JJ in bubble wrap. I am ready to take him to the park, go to storytime and visit folks. I am being patient until after the second opinion. Still no word on the job front. My father-in-law suggested I go work for McDonald's. I have no problem with working at a fast food place. But both my therapists and nutritionist agreed that it is not what I need now. So I have 15 weeks to find a job. Trying not to stress but take it one day at at time and one job search at a time. So all in all, I doing okay.

Daily dose
1. My mother-in-law rocks!!! I hit the jackpot in in-laws.
2. Gossip Girl is one the best guilty pleasures.
Bonus--Hilbert the cat.

    Glad to hear you're feeling better today :) I really wish you luck with the job search. I know how hard that is...
    Is "Gossip Girl" really good? I've never seen it, but I can't say I'm unaware of the hype!

Stopping a downward spiral

-
In the past, my birthday has always been a trigger for me to relapse or get anxious. But for the past two years, my birthday has been my birthday. A day to celebrate my birth.  Around Thanksgiving, I started feeling different. December was just a month of misery. I now realize that my meds had stopped working. So here I stand at a crossroad--I can increase the dosage and continue on my merry way or not. Remeron not only stabilizes my mood but gives me an appetite.  I haven't had one since Thanksgiving. I eat based on time. If it is 7:15 a.m., it is breakfast. By noon, I must eat lunch and dinner between 6 and 7 p.m. If I increased the dosage, the appetite comes back for awhile  but I will gain more weight. This is why I was taking Seroquel to help with anxiety.  I don't think there is a enough Seroquel in the world to deal with my anxiety. And while my therapist is being helpful, he admitted this is beyond him. So we are looking for a therapist outside of the area who can he

BOOK REVIEW: The Other Emily by Dean Koontz

  It is hard to write about "The Other Emily" by Dean Koontz. It is not because it is a bad book. I was pretty pleased with and enjoyed it. But how do you write about a book without giving away key plot points? The synopsis is simple. Emily Carlino vanished 10 years ago after her car broke down on a California highway. She was presumed to be one of serial killer Ronny Lee Jessup’s victims. Her remains were never found. Emily was the love of writer David Thorne’s life. He hasn’t recovered from losing her or from the guilt of not being there to save her. Since then,   Thorne has sought closure any way he can. He visits with Jessup regularly in prison, desperate for answers about Emily’s final hours so he may finally lay her body to rest. Then Thorne meets Maddison Sutton. Everything about Maddison from her face to her kisses is just like Emily.   Is she Emily? Or an irresistible dead ringer? Either way, the ultimate question is the same: What game is she playing? What

COVID is the worst

-
It has been almost two weeks since my son was diagnosed with COVID-19. COVID is the worst because there are very few ways to treat it. And you can't be near your loved one. So I am calling a few times a day and praying. I visited him on Saturday. He stood at his window and waved at me standing outside of it.   There are 608,946 people in South Carolina who have or had COVID. My son is one of those people.  He isn't just a number. He is a 15-year-old wise-ass who loves to play video games, read anime, and sing. He is not sure what he wants to do with his life but I want him to be able to have a life.
