Preparing the move

-
I am starting to get excited about the move!
A month from now, I will be living in a three-bedroom house with a cool yard and a library.
 
Boxes and more boxes!
Right now, most of my life is packed away in plastic totes or liquor store boxes.
I have been to area liquor stores so much that the clerks know me on a first name basis.
I am going to miss my second floor apartment especially being able to sit by the window and watch the world go by. 

But being able to move into a three bedroom house with a pantry and living space is super AWESOME!!! And my rent will be the same as I pay for the apartment.

I feel so blessed. And I will be able to create the library of my dreams. May is going to be a crazy busy month with packing, moving and cleaning along with covering festivals and Relay for Life. These are busy times but I am looking forward to it.
 
My bedroom is filled with totes of clothes and shoes!

The living room looks like crazy hoarder lady lives there.

It took four trips and probably more than 50 boxes to pack all of my books. The library book sale is this afternoon but I am not attending it because it will more stuff to pack. 

Back in August, a close friend of mine died and this was his house. I will take good care of it. I am just so excited about this new chapter of my life. I can't wait until JJ comes to visit this summer. He will have his own permanent room. I  must say that 2016 has been a pretty good year for me so far!

DAILY DOSE
1. Drinking good coffee! It starts the day right!
2. Chicken bites!
3. Tomorrow is the annual Pet Friends Yard Sale! I'll find bargains in the morning and head to the Pickle Festival in the afternoon!

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

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.

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
