Work in progress

You are an unfinished work in progress.
One of the good things about life’s challenges:
You get to find out that you’re capable of being
far more than you ever thought possible.

Karen Salmansahn

As you can tell, I love quotes, motivational things etc.  I love this, as I have been through a lot of challenges in my life.  As I heard once that your challenges whittle you into the person you are, how you handle them is also a big part of it.  My husband was in a car accident today in his work parking lot.  He has been struggling with his depression and he handled it really well, I am proud of him.   He didn't get upset, or maime the guy (LOL j/k), he handled it very smoothly.  Way to go babe.   


  

 The grooming fairy (my sister) visited me again....this time she brought me super cute bows for the dogs hair.  I put some in the last dog I groomed today and her owner absolutely loved her.  She gave me a good tip too :-)  Tips are always welcome.  For those who don't know....yes you may tip your groomer, they love it!


Back to the quote, I have had my share of challenges, and am still going through/recovering from them.  It will take time.  I am doing the best I can to use the tools that I have been given to cope with my disease.  I think I am doing pretty darn good.  There are some people with this disease that literally can't even get out of bed in the morning.  I've never been that severe, and I feel for those who are.  I tend to be on the obsessive side, such as I choose something and I focus solely and completely on it, and tend to forget other things I should focus on.....like household chores. For Example:  I researched and came up with a whole slew of 'spa' treatments for pets for my job.  I spent hours looking things up and designing a website for my job.....here is the website
 www.bountifulpetsalon.weebly.com
 you can see the spa treatments under spa menu.  I kind of left off cleaning the house and spending time with my kids (yes I call my furkids my 'kids' as they may be the only kids I ever have).  That's how I am and I am really trying hard to not focus so hard on things....well to maintain an even balance.  Such as in between computer time (I am addicted to computers, playing on websites, researching stuff, incredimail etc), I can do loads of dishes, spend time cleaning/picking things up instead of just plopping my butt in front of the computer and staying there all night.  This is one of my biggest vices, and I will conquer it!

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...
