Shifting Slightly

I have noticed this is true.  I have changed one thing this week....I have shined my sink for 5 days in a row now, and it's becoming a habit to make sure the counters (the 3 that are cleaned off) remain cleaned off.  I am quite proud of myself, housework has never been easy for me.  But I want to make it a habit, want to continue following FlyLady and her techniques.  Hopefully I will be able to get my house under control once more.   I am quite proud of the fact that I have been doing this.  Also working on Mt Washmore in my basement....trying to do 1 load per day.  Slowly but surely I'll get there.

Looking back on the last 3 months, I've had my ups, I've had my downs, the important part is that I am still here, that I am still wanting to recover that I am still plugging along day by day, working to become a better me.  I see my therapist every other week, she really truly 'gets' me and I am grateful for that as she always seems to know exactly I need to hear/work on each visit.  My psychiatrist leaves somethings to be desired, I just need to find a different one, she still writes my prescriptions out with my maiden name, um I've been married almost 8 years now......So I will find a new psychiatrist.  The important part is that I am 'stable' on my medications.  I am taking Zyprexa, Wellbutrin, Trazadone and Seroquel.  I also take supplements but at the moment we can't afford the supplements, but I know they help.

    I couldn't help but lol at you saying "Mt. Washmore", that's funny. But seriously, I think even doing one load at a time is a definite achievement. I really, really like this post. Even a slight shift in thinking, in actions makes all the difference in the world! Good for you!! :)

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...
