Successful surgery

Today I have a bone spur removed on my left pinky toe....again (had the exact same surgery last november), and surgery, pre-op etc went so smoothly I'm still having a hard time believing it. I was minimally anxious for it today, last time I was completely wigging, crying and the likes. Went in the operating room fine, and when I came back out, I was calm/collected, no panic/anxiety/ hyperventilating attacks. I know that I was so much better this time because of the meds I am on, they have totally helped me have a 'balanced' life. I love it! I did not get sick/nauseas from the anesthesia. I'm trying to convince Rob to buy me a "Bear Hug" system for christmas.....the bed warmer they hook up to your hospital gown.

Oh and my dream was just that a dream about all the changes I have been making....as someone reared her ugly head. I am not being emotional about it at all, yes there is that little bit of grief I am feeling but I'm not focusing solely on it. I know that when the time is right, just as Rob and I had to go through things and have the 'right' time for us to meet that we will have children. My cats are taking good care of me....they are taking turns snuggling etc. Rob is doing even better, bringing me drinks, food, pills, snow cones :-) and anything else I ask for. He is truly the most amazing man I have ever met.

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?
