I have no protein defrosted for dinner so we’ll probably go out, and there are a few restaurants in the shopping center where Barnes and noble is. So that sounds good. B&N is having a sale on hardcover books so I should be able to find something. I ordered “a man called ove” because I’m intrigued by the description and previews of the movie that’s based on the book (a man called Ollie).

The paranoid thoughts are mostly gone, just a slight misstep this morning but those are bound to happy even on medication. Since I’m improving just on 1mg of haldol I might be able to stay on that. The side effects are definitely much less noticeable on that low of a dose, hardly any really. So, it is what it is. I tried, it didn’t work, it’s a bummer but not the end of the world.

We have to figure out what to do on Sunday, CR convinced his grandma to take him to the arcade haha. So me and RS have the day to ourselves. I have to help my mom clean out my old room for a bit this weekend, not sure which day. I have to convince her to keep the plans if she tries to cancel. We need to get moving on emptying that house so she can move. The house is no longer safe.

A Man Called Ove is fantastic, both the book and the movie. I watched the one that had subtitles, I forget what language it was in but it was something other than English, it was great, I hope you enjoy it

I'm glad you're starting to feel better
