The boy has been sick all week. We’ve watched Sand Lot and Little Giants (One has the actor who played Darth Vader and the other has Darth Helmet.) We watch a great Lego documentary, and today we’ve watched the 2005 Fantastic Four and now the 1989 Batman.
I remember seeing this Batman in theaters at age 12 and enjoying Joker so much I dressed up as him for Halloween. It was an awkward choice as a 12 year old girl, to wear green sweats and a mask that you had to glue on to your face, which even so, kept falling off. It became more akward as the friends I went with were all dressed in cool black dresses as Palmer girls, which I honestly thought had something to do with golfer Arnold Palmer.
I have been having a rough go this week, figuring out diagnoses and meds. It’s not really depression, what I have, and I get sick of naming it, but then in the movie today the Joker helped me out as he uttered the phrase “I have given a name to my pain, and it’s Batman.”
So from now on, I will just be referring to whatever is going on with me as Batman, it seems especially appropriate as things are at their worst when it’s dark night.
I look forward to informing my doctor of this change and finding out if it’s billable.
