Introducing the Friday Five

-
Every Friday, I have decided to do the Friday Five. Five quick facts about me. I hope others will share with me some about them.

Lately, my life feels like an episode of Grey's Anatomy except my McDreamy is a little cuter. I caught my reflection in a store window today and didn't flinch or cringe. I thought wow that girl looks confident and happy. It has been a longtime since I felt that way about myself. I am so glad I had the opportunity to take this job because I foresee more changes in the future.

And now, the Friday Five

1. Favorite Time of Day--It is at 3 a.m. I love the silence of the world at rest. It is so peaceful.

2. Web obsession-- Hula. I love watching episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They bring back so many good memories.

3. Must have in desk at work: A chocolate Chex mix cereal bar. A delicious snack.

4. I wish I could... play the drums. I think I would have been good.

5. Dream job--Writing for Glamour magazine

    I'm so glad you're feeling so confident and good in your own skin. There's nothing like that feeling!

    I also love Buffy the Vampire Slayer! And I wish I could write for Glamour, too ;)

    You can still learn to play the drums. You should try it; it might be fun!

    'Buffy the Vampire Slayer!' Still one of my fave shows!
    3 a.m - lovely time of the day...or night!

    Maybe you buy a set of Bongos! I know it's not the real thing but it would be a start?!

    Take care SG.

    Friday Five sounds like a good idea! With NaNoWriMo starting in a few days, I'll need all kinds of ideas for writing!

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.
