Space is limited

I went home for a long weekend with my guys. I miss them and they miss me but we are all adjusting just fine. They have settled into a routine. It was nice being at home but it made me realize what I already know. I have never fitted in there. The area is my hubby's terrority and I have always felt out of place. But here in RR, I feel right at home. It is hard to explain but RR feels so right. I have made the right decision.

I didn't realized that I have so many shoes. I brought back some of my things back and all of my clothes. After unpacking my car, I watched the Sex and the City movie as I hung my clothes up and organized my shoes. I have only seen one episode of the show but the movie was okay. But it was a nice way to prepare for the upcoming week. I am getting the hang of working at a daily newspaper. However thank goodness, for the paper being a Tuesday through Friday and Sunday paper. It is hard but so worth all the work and stress.

Daily Dose

1. The Sunday newspaper

2. Watching Bob the Builder

    I'm so glad to hear that you're managing to balance your family life with work. It's great that you feel at home where you are. And you can still enjoy time with your guys :) Sounds like the best of both worlds to me!

    Hi Silly Girl,

    It's been a little while since I visited. Wow! Lots of changes. Not only does your blog have a new "home", but so do you. And...you got the job! Congratulations!

    I caught up on your old posts. I love your princess photos - from your wedding. I can understand why you son loves those - his mommy is a real beauty.

    See you again soon

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.
