There is something about that show!

-



I have become a huge fan of the show, Hoarders on A&E. There is something about it. Or it could be with enough time, I could be some of the people on that show. My room here at the Brookwood could give me a entry for the show. So I used the last two days to start the cleaning process. Plus, I don't want the manager to say something to me. It is more of things than being dirty. I keep my dirty clothes in the laundry basket under the bathroom sink in the bathroom.

I took some pictures to show the before. It will be awhile before the after pictures are posted because it will take awhile to go through the containers. But I am working at it.

My mom meets with the orthopedic surgeon Monday to discuss her arm. I feel guilty for not being able to be there for her. And she understands. Once a date for her surgery is decided, I'll figure out how much time I spend with her after the surgery.

I am watching the Super Bowl. Honestly, it's more for the commercials than the games. Football is a foreign language for me. I know who Peyton Manning and Reggie Bush are but I have not a clue what's goes on on the field.

I cleaned a lot yesterday. Today, I went to Hell on earth or as others call it Wal-Mart. I went to the Dollar Tree and found H&M underwear for a $1 a piece. I found three pairs. Cool undies for $3.

Daily Dose

1. Chips, queso dip and a Sunday newspaper.

2. Find H&M underwear at the Dollar Tree.

3. Spending most of Sunday watching a Hoarders Marathon. After a looooong week, it's nice to just veg.

    Wow, look at all that stuff. If you're anything like me, it's totally organized in your mind, even if it appears messy ;)
    I'm not even watching the Super Bowl commercials! Ha! I'm a bad American.
    I agree that Wal-Mart is Hell on Earth!!
    Hope your mom's ok!

    My wife watches Hoarders, and I sometimes see the episodes, too, but I don't like it. It bothers me because my wife doesn't understand the attachment that we have with our possessions, and her comments are upsetting. Also, the so-called therapists are impatient and combative, which is the wrong approach to dealing with hoarders.

    Good luck with the room makeovers. And thanks for commenting on my cat photo!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting! Your blog looks great! I'm so glad to see that you've chosen to commit to recovery! From someone who has been there (I was diagnosed 7 years ago and can honestly say I'm fully recovered) and recovery is totally worth it!

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.
