Busy day

-
This year I will be in charge of lawn care since I am the only one with no allergies. I made sure I ate breakfast--two bowls of cereal and peanut butter and jelly sandwich before I begun. It took a few hours but I did the mowing. A few hours and three water bottles later. I am proud of myself because I did it. I checked out the mower, brought a new gas can, got gas and did mower maintenance by myself. Go girl power!!!!! The yard looks great. I didn't realize how big and cumbersome our lawn was until I started to cut it. Since we live beside a busy highway, I got honked at a lot.

Lunch was some leftover KFC and soup. Best meal ever. It amazing how good food taste when you are tired and hungry.

Afterwards, I met up with the beach bums (my guys). My son had so much to tell me that I thought he would burst. He has a runny nose so I don't know if it's a cold or allergies.

I'll try to post some this weekend but due to the holiday, it will be sporadic since the library will be closed. So Happy Easter and may all have a good holiday.

P.S--Thanks for the comments and advice. We'll see how things go.

    Hi Silly Girl,

    I love how you did all of your mowing, etc by yourself. Myself, I love to mow the grass. I especially like the smell of freshly cut grass. It's one of those smells I'd like to bottle.

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.
