Recharging with Iron Man

-
Last weekend, I had a chance to recharge my batteries. It is amazing how spending 24 hours with a seven-year-old can make life a little more bearable.
He is a dinosaur loving bookworm.
Last week, I took a quick trip home to see JJ. I have work this weekend and he has school so quick trip. It was awesome. We went to see Iron Man 3 in 3D. I  also had a heart attack about the price of the movie but I promised JJ could see it. My new nickname for him is now Iron Man, which he was cool with. I enjoyed watching him watch the movie. We had a blast. 

 Some other first on the visit included:

 I took him for his first visit to Sweet Frog.
He ate so much ice cream that he had to push the cup away.
And he now gets to sat up front with me in the car. It was weird for both of us but we got over it. It was nice to talk with having to yell over my shoulder.
Riding up front with mom.

And we made pizza,  camped out in the living room and watched a movie. Or more like the movie watched us. I love my son. And hopefully, I will be able to spend more time with him this summer. But it was sweet to be able to spend a few hours with him. I am tired this week but it was so worth it to see my boy!
DAILY DOSE
1. Being able to see my Iron Man!

 2. Orange soda can take away most of the bad!

 3. Making memories!!

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.
