After the storm

 Today we had a thunderstorm, and there was a small rainbow.  It got me to thinking that my 'storm' was my event a few weeks ago, and now the storm is clearing and things are looking bright (rainbow).  As you can tell I LOVE analogies.  I am doing extremely well.  I did have a bit of anxiety, but not an attack while we were driving in the rain (stems from being ran off the road in a rain storm 15+ years ago by a semi truck), but
I did my breathing exercises and was fine.  Things are really looking up, I feel great and am getting more accomplished both at home and at work, and feeling generally great.  I heard some news from the previous place I worked (the vet) and it really sounds like things are going to hell in a handbasket (pardon my language), but it's the truth. I am glad that I got out when I did, from the sounds of it, they aren't going to be in business much longer.    I love my new job as a Pet Groomer, today I got to do a 'comb' cut on a golden retriever and it turned out cute.  She had been going to several other groomers before finding us, and never got consistent results, she likes the dog trimmed but not shaved down and they would always shave her down to the skin, she even showed them a picture of exactly what she wanted.......so I did her about 1/2 inch long going reverse on her coat with guard combs.    The owner absolutely loved her.  Don't mind my ratty table....I'm going to build me a new table top then take it to Rhino Linings and have them cover it.  This table is 12 years old and has seen a lot lol.  Work is going really well and I love just about every minute of it.  I did get bit by a little poor senile terrier mix today, she was so grumpy it took me 20 minutes to get a muzzle on her so she couldn't bite me.  Sadly today was probably her last groom as she stressed out so much she made herself have a seizure, and that was just when she was standing on the table drying under a stand dryer.  Very sad, but she is like 16 years old.   That is not going to be the fun part of this job as they have quite a few elderly dogs for clients.  :-(   

Today was the first morning I really had to force myself to eat so I could take my pills.  I just wasn't hungry this morning.   But I did and took my pills :-)  I think sometimes that I take so many pills that it counts as another meal LOL!  

Sorry for the format.....it's something hanky in blogger.

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

Trying another new thing called Saturday 9, it can be found here:  http://samanthasaturday9.blogspot.com 1) Do you come up with your brightest ideas early in the morning or late at night?   I would say that I am most creative later in the evenings 2) Are you more likely to feel romantic at night or in the morning?  Depends on the day :-), but usually at night 3) Do you shower in the morning, after work or before bed?   I shower in the mornings, it helps wake me up 4) Billie Holiday was just 44 when she died. Is there an artist whose early demise surprised and saddened you?   Not an artist but Heath Ledger's death really shocked me and took me by surprise.  He is one of my all time favorite actors. 5) Billie was known as "Lady Day." Do you have a cool nickname? (If not, feel free to give yourself one right now.)   No cool nicknames, as a kid I was "Woodie or Fruitcake".....don't ask LOL 6) When was the last time you had the blues?   ...

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

  Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar? Now enter: your Endocannabino...
