Furkids

  Today was a tough day at work, I cut a dog who was being very naughty, he jerked his leg back right as I was clipping the elbow part, the wound had to be glued shut :-(  It stressed me out and made me super anxious. But I decided I wasn't going to let it ruin my day and put me in a bad mood (which something like that normally would).  I am feeling very grateful today however.  Grateful for my husband, my new phone (which is totally awesome and so much faster), grateful for my family, grateful for my beautiful sweet furkids, grateful for friends who offer advice when I need it :-)  I started on an increased dose of my mood stabilizer last night, I am feeling very balanced today, no mega ups, no mega downs just balanced which is good.  It will take more time to get into my system full strength but I'm glad that I didn't have any depression today.  (Knocking on wood).

The pictures above are of 2 of my precious furbabies, Cedes on the left snoozing so sweetly, and Tiggles resting on daddy and his lap desk.  They are so beautiful and so sweet, they love to snuggle and be by us.  Surgery is on my mind increasingly, but I'm not super anxious about it, just thinking about it.  Last time as I was waking up I was having a panic attack......which is how I usually come out of anesthesia.  I  have faith that all will go okay.  I was talking to my Psych and she was telling me how I am on a lot of sedating drugs so I should be just fine :-)  Nice to know eh?

My husband said something to me today that makes me feel bad, Jen (my older sister) is my 'sponsor' and calls me every day to see how I am doing.  I talk to her about my day and happenings in my life for about 20-30 minutes each day.  Rob said that he wishes I would talk to him like that.   Well I used to tell him all about my day in great detail but it was when I was being super negative so he told me that he didn't like hearing all the negatives so I guess I just quit talking to him about my days in super detail.  He told me tonight that I eliminated the 'negative' part of my life when I quit doing things that caused negativity in my life (quitting stressful jobs, quitting the direct sales company I was with that caused me tons of anxiety), so I will work on that, work on communicating better with my husband.

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...
