Getting Better

Today was a rather slow day at work, only had 4 dogs to groom.  My sister Lara invited me to lunch, so her, my mom and I went to 5 Guys Burgers & Fries, it was really good, and I was a good girl and didn't eat the bun :-)  It was really good food, and the lunch helped boost my mood.  My sister offered to come up on Monday to my house and help me clean my house since she knows that it is sort of a sore subject with Rob and I (not so much since my incident), but it was a big sore spot.  My dad is going to come up with his truck as well so we can really de-junk some clutter.  I think it was very nice of Lara to offer to do that.  She too is Bipolar, however she seems to be doing really good and seems really happy lately.   So overall today was a pretty great day, and my mood was pretty decent.  YAY!

I had surgery on my pinky toe on my left foot last november for a bone spur, and I'm afraid it has grown back, my toe is swollen and very tender, it hurts to even wear a shoe on that foot.  I have an appointment with my podiatrist on Monday so we shall see what he finds.

I actually did it!  I actually exercised today!  Woot Woot!  I am up to 229.4# as of this morning.....darn Zyprexa I think is really pushing the limits....15# in a month :-(  Anyhow, I did a Walk At Home DVD and walked 1 mile.....I really didn't want to but as soon as I got home I went and changed into exercise clothes and then  just did it :-)  I want to work up to 3 miles a day, but it will take time, I am sorely out of shape.  Part of my depression issues is my weight/body image, so I am going to post 'before' pictures taken today......and then once a month will post new pictures.

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?   ...

Who Are you?

Sunday stealing  Who Are you? Part 7 – It is Over!  Part 7: Self Image 84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you:   I wake up at 6:00am, take a shower, get ready for the day, then I go downstairs and feed the critters, and make breakfast for hubby and I.  We usually leave the house by about 7:30ish and I drop my husband off at work.  Then I work (I'm a Pet Groomer) until about 3:30 or 4:00ish then I leave for home and go get my hubby from work.  Then I come home and make dinner, feed the critters, work on cleaning the house a little and we usually head to bed about 8:30ish or 9:00. 85. What is your greatest strength as a person?   I am a very compassionate and have a big heart 86. What is your greatest weakness?   Interrupting people when they are talking 87. Are you going to run for President in 2016?   Nope, I don't care about politics all that much 88. Are you generally self-contained? No, I do like to talk, except t...

🌿 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...
