Returning home after Spring Break

-



I have returned to RR after spending a week with my son. It was the best vacation I have had in a long time. We didn't really do anything but spend time together. 

 I have become an expert in Ninja fighting and comic book heroes. I needed to get away and just chill. I did that. Now I am ready to take on the world.

Being on vacation has taught me a few things. The first is that all work and no play makes for a cranky Jackie. Warm weather is coming so I plan to spend more with JJ outside.

My son is a smart little cookie. He wants to be a scientist when he grows up. It was fun watching him with his microscope looking at specimens. 

 I have decided to really work on improving my skill set. I want to move closer to JJ. I want to be able to have lunch with him or go to his school activities. I feel like I am missing out on so much. I now know what I have to do.

 DAILY DOSE

 1. Enjoying the beautiful Spring Day.

 2. Looking at my Spring Break photos of JJ.

 3. Vegging on the couch!

    So glad you enjoyed your vacation with JJ. He is getting so big! Which reminds me that I've been reading your blog for quite a while. I hope you can make a way to move closer. It will be more then worth it for those precious moments that you don't want to miss.

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
