A snow storm is a brewing

-
I will not be able to go home this weekend due to a pending snow storm here and at home. I am not happy about this because I was looking forward to seeing my son and my mom. But it is better to be safe and warm than stranded and cold. Since I going to be around, I volunteered to work to help a co-worker out.

I got paid today and noticed on my check that my health and dental had been deducted. I have insurance. My cards went to my other address but I finally have insurance. I can't wait to start seeing a therapist and getting back on my meds. I am not restricting but my eating could be a whole lot better with meds and a therapist.

Overall, I am in a pretty decent mood. I am tired. So tired that I am not watching Grey's Anatomy and planning to go to bed when I am done downloading my photos for tomorrow's paper. I have a hot date with my two pillows later tonight. And I can't wait.

Daily Dose

1. I only had to pay for breakfast today. Lunch and dinner were free courtesy of the school system.

2. Even though I will still have to work, I want it to snow.

3. I am tired beyond belief but I still love the fact that I get paid to tell people stories.

    Oh, I'm so glad you have insurance! That's great! I think it's very wise to reach out to stay on track with your health, especially with so many stressful things going on. I'm sure your son and mom will miss you, but it's best to stay safe (and warm)! Hope the storm isn't too bad! Sleep well :)

BOOK REVIEW: The Other Emily by Dean Koontz

-
Image
  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.

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
