I cannot believe we are already in April. I blink, and it is already the 8th of April. Time feels like it is beginning to snowball, and pick up speed on a hill that seems to just get steeper and steeper.
The latest update on Nicholas. He has moved facilities in Virginia. He is still in the same organization, The Pines, but he has moved from Portsmouth to Norfolk. Across the water. He is at a place they call Kempsville. I like his new therapist. This new facility is clearly Psychiatric. Apparently, in the easiest way to describe, Crawford was for “Thugs”. Which Nicholas is not, he just has anger and violence problems.
This week, the honeymoon appeared to be over. He went from being happy to be in the new facility to upset. He feels neglected and has been voicing this over several times. I cannot blame him. He has been out of the house for over a year. Nick's goal is to get home. The positive. He has not hit anyone in over a year. The negative, he still loses it and gets very angry. For about 10 minutes, you have a very angry man, that vehemently voices he doesn't care what any consequences could be. Then he calms down. But, during this ten minute period, Nick is belligerent, and has a tendency to throw things like chairs etc. The positive, he never throws the things at people. The negative, he loses it...and picks up things to throw.
Well, nevertheless, he is not hitting anyone anymore. Anger management and self control are next. We are planning a trip to see him soon. It is very hard. I do not travel well and get very sick.
God is good. A small stupid note. I have finally committed to memory the order of the books in the bible. Stupid, and I am not sure if it is late or early in my Christian life to do this or if it has any relevance whatsoever. I have a relationship with the Holy Spirit and it prompted me to do this. The benefit, I seem to remember the contents of the books better.
Bowling. We are struggling. We could end up the 2003 Yanks. But, as a team, we are very tenacious and can turn around any game in the 9th and 10th frames. That is when we are very dangerous to bowl against. I give my team mates a lot of credit. I have personally put us in this position with some really bad bowling. It would be nice to win the league two years in a row.
Health. Bah being HIV with an AIDS diagnosis. I am suffering from the pollen just like everyone else now. Sinus headaches have been a dime a dozen lately.
Peace All
