DAY 1: Clearing the clothes clutter

-

 

 I have too many clothes. There I said it. For this month, I will be decluttering my three closets. Hopefully, when this is over, I will have more space and a ton of stuff to donate. And yes, I have three closets in my one-bedroom apartment.

DAY 1
•Signature Jacket
•Style and Co. denim pants
•Black sweater
•Black boots from Target

This project started when I realized I had items in my closets that I have not even tried to wear. Some items have immediately gone into the donation box. If I look in the mirror and do not feel good about it or if I am not comfortable while wearing it, then into the box it goes. 

For Day 1, I went a little bold. I have had this Signature jacket for years. I think I brought it at the Goodwill in Goldsboro, N.C. I love the pattern on it. It will probably remain in my closet. The Style and Co. denim pants fit perfectly. The black sweater is one of many I have. The black boots from Target have become a staple in my wardrobe this winter. I love boots. These black ones are the right height and keep my feet warm.

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.

Today has been the most awesome day. I was named the employee of the year for my newspaper. I am shocked. I am speechless. Me and my award Once I got the news, the plaque and the congratulations, I picked up the phone. I wanted to call my mom. Even though, she's not here. She knows. And I think she is very proud of me.  This is why recovery is so important to me.  2010Actually, yesterday was the most awesome day. I was named the employee of the year for my newspaper. I am still shocked and just amazed. For the last few months, I feel like I have been struggling. I had D take a picture of me with the plaque today. The plaque is nice and shiny. Once I got the news, the plaque and the congratulations, I picked up the phone. I wanted to call my mom. Even though she's not here, I think she is very proud of me.  This is why recovery is so important to me.  I can't do this job at half capacity. I have always felt I was send to RR for a reason. For the first time in a lo
