Take ‘em to the train station; A Yellowstone season 5 part 2 Review


It’s been awhile since a tv show captivated me. I have missed a few, I loved Parenthood, This is Us and A Million Little Things to name a few, but Yellowstone is on a whole other level for me. After almost a 2 year hiatus, this show finally returned. I wondered after being off the air for so long, if people lost interest, but then I read that this show had the biggest premiere night audience ever with 16.4 million viewers. Many woman tune in because of the attraction to the characters Rip & Kasey, I personally don’t find Rip that attractive, Kasey is more handsome in my opinion but physical appearances aside, I love the characters they play. 

I like many, am so disappointed that Kevin Costner is no longer playing the role of John Dutton but holy crap, Taylor Sheridan as Beth Dutton played her role magnificently. I as well as my husband, cried from the first scene of the premiere this week to the scene of her screaming in the field and then when she was able to collapse into Rip’s arms, shattering her bad ass image and showing vulnerability. Her acting skills are top notch. Her scream and pain you felt in your soul. Here it is 5 days after the second part of season 5 premiere and I’m still thinking about it and looking forward to the next episode on Sunday. Another actress I need to mention is Jennifer Landon who plays Teeter. Of course I had to watch her close as soon as her character joined the show because any one who knows me, knows my undying crush on her late father Michael Landon. Physically, Jennifer is a beautiful combination of both of her parents but the show makes her butchy and kind of scummy with the make up. Her acting skills are very convincing as her accent and speech can drive a person crazy. She sounds like she is chewing marbles. I am sure if her dad was here, he would be extremely proud. 

There are many other actors/characters that are note worthy but the fore mentioned are the ones who stand out to me.

If you are part of the minority that doesn’t watch Yellowstone, do yourself a favor and binge watch the 4 previous seasons, from the beginning. Season 5 sadly is the last, I’m already bummed about that, but at the same time, so excited about what will happen in the next 12 episodes.

When Caring Becomes Too Much: Recognizing and Coping With Caregiver Burnout

Image
  I am writing about this topic because writing helps me reduce my stress. I know although I feel alone in this journey sometimes, I am not, so I’m hoping by writing about it, I will help others to feel understood and validated. I have written a blog post in the past about living with someone with chronic illness, this post will be similar to that, but more on the feelings of burn out. I think like me, many care takers don’t vent or talk about their feelings as much as they probably should. I can only speak for myself but I suspect that there are probably many who feel the same way. Most of the time I don’t say how I’m really feeling because I don’t want to sound like a complainer. Besides, do people really want to know how I am feeling? Probably not. Sort of like how the majority of people ask “how are you?” In passing, but they really don’t want to know, they are just being polite. If they really wanted to know, they wouldn’t ask when passing by, they’d ask when they planned on s...

Another Day, Another Procedure and a Whole Bunch of Feelings

Image
  Another day spent at Portsmouth Hospital with Mike. Today he had a Fistulagram also known as a Fistulography. It’s an imaging test where they insert a needle and dye and do some imaging to make sure the fistula in his arm is working properly before they can remove the Central Venous Catheter (CVC) which he has had since February. Since Mike has stage 5 kidney disease, this Fistula is a life line for dialysis. He did well during the procedure, even though there was a lot of pressure and discomfort. The test showed that he had scar tissue built up from a previous antibiotic picc line, so they had to open it up with a balloon. He was in the operating room for about an hour and in recovery for another hour. Starting Tuesday, the nurse’s at the dialysis center will try using the arm Fistula for the next 3 sessions. Once it is proven to be working properly, an appointment will be scheduled to get the CVC removed from his chest. He can’t wait to get rid of that thing.  Another upda...

Update in the Michael Health Chronicles

Image
  As I posted on Friday, Mike’s dialysis fistula placement surgery went well. He had a bit of a tough weekend. Dialysis on Saturday was a bit rough between the fatigue and pain from the surgery the day before. We are grateful it all went well though, a step in the right direction. But, in true Mike fashion, it’s one step up and two steps back. On Saturday we got notice from Lahey Clinic saying that Mike will not be put on the kidney transplant list at this time, as we suspected but it’s still disappointing. After all the tests he went through, his team of doctors determined that he is too high risk at this time and would more than likely, not survive the surgery. He is still considered fragile and has to continue to gain some strength back as well as get his broken back fixed. They will retest everything and reassess in January.  We will not give up, we still trust God’s plans for us no matter what they are. The winds have changed a bit so we must adjust the sails. With school...
