Tire Woes

What an adventurous day.  Took my car to Big O Tires first thing this morning.  They tell me my flat isn't fixable and I need a new tire on my right front because the tire had a bubble in it....Qt'd my like $230 for 2 new tires, they don't have any 15's used as those aren't common tires....WTH?  So told them I couldn't afford it and was going to take my car back to Glens Tires.  So took my car to Robs work and took his car to work, then on my way home stopped and picked up my car, drove it 40mph to Glen's Tires who fixed the 2 holes in my tire for $15 and replaced the front tire as I had a 30 day warranty on it.  Woot Woot!  They just won our tire business for life.  Thank Heavens!  I still maintained my cool even though Big O tried to rip me off.  I love what my supplements/meds/therapy is doing for me!  I'm not an emotional basket case all the time, not crying more than smiling and able to maintain a cool/level head in an emergency, or stressful time.

Also caught myself on a cognitive distortion.  We saw the lawn care people today and I made the comment that they have already been here this week so Rob said the more they're here the more money they make, and I don't quite remember how it came up but I made the comment "Everyone makes more than I do"....which is a cognitive Distortion "All or Nothing Thinking", I restructured my thinking by saying "Right now as my business is just getting back and started, I am not making very much, but things are improving."  Which is true.  I took a considerable pay cut to take the job I have now, however I am MUCH happier, and healthier for that matter at my new job.  We are slowly turning things around, slowly but surely, so things will get better.

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...
