Why so grumpy?

I have been extremely irritable today.....I had 3 dogs today 2 golden retrievers and OMG they were naughty.  One was what I call a pancake dog (flattens and puts ALL their weight onto the floor, table, tub etc) and she was a big girl probably 80#.....so that was fun, couldn't get her to get up on the electric table at all....I had to put her front legs up then try to get her back legs up......then the male was about 40-50# overweight and didn't like standing up and had a very bad undercoat (dead hair) so I had to keep brushing to get it out before I could shave (a good reason NOT to shave a double coated breed such as a golden).....I don't know if the dogs fed off my anxiety/grumpiness or if their behavior made me grumpy but boy was I ever irritated today.  I took my 'bach's remedies' and one of my anxiety pills.  I don't like being irritable.  Rob says I've been really irritable lately.

I met with my Psychiatrist....and we increased my mood pill (Zyprexa) to 15mg.  That is the 'standard' bipolar dosage.  We also talked about me cycling and having depression so much/often, she said that the antidepressant I'm on (Wellbutrin) can cause cycling.....joyous!  So we are going to see if the 15mg of Zyprexa helps stabilize things, and if still having depressive issues will switch anti-depressants.  I have decided that I am going to trying to find a different Psychiatrist....she makes me a little uncomfortable divulging details about my family to me.  So that is my goal before my next visit is to find a new Psychiatrist.  I might just use one of the ones in the center where my Counselor is, they have integrative ones....which would be great for me.

To add to my grumpiness we went to drop off my prescription at Walmart and pick up a few things, we spent 25-30 minutes in line, we were the 2nd people in the line.....the girl (she looked like she was 12) was price matching/couponing EVERY single item in her cart, she was showing the cashier pictures on her phone of the prices........it was absolutely ridiculous.  If I hadn't already had my stuff on the belt we would have found a different line.

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...
