2016 continues to suck

David Bowie, Prince, Alan Rickman, Merle Haggard, George Michael and now Carrie Fisher.  This really hurts, Ma.

Time

We think we figured it out. Mom did think she had a little more time. The doctor said she had probably a month, maybe two if she didn't have the chemo. We don't believe she knew she had days.  The speed surprised all of us, including her. We had a good visit with Chris but also a little difficult. There isn't a whole lot to do in our town in the winter after the holiday season.  We went to Stone Mountain yesterday and that was okay. Some of the things we wanted to see were closed.

Overall assessment: depression (of course), PTSD that isn't in acute stage, alcoholism that's in remission (for decades now) and social anxiety disorder which is probably where my psych and I will work on - the flare up of the depression and the social anxiety.  Fun times. Positive stuff: things are blooming and the grass is quickly growing. We've had a lot of rain lately and they say another 5 days at least.  The weather is also turning warm.  As much as I hate the heat I'm glad for spring.  People are stepping up to help each other in the virus crisis. I've lo...
