Christmas and other things

Here I said I would be better about writing every day and I've missed 4 days. I will just catch up. Christmas Eve we had my parents and my sister over for dinner, we had quite the feast, we had a smoked turkey that was way delicious, potato salad, shrimp/pasta salad, cheesy potatoes, cucumbers in vinegar (one of my favorite things), spinach dip, 4 different kinds of cheese balls and clam chowder. It was really good and a lot of food. Then we watched Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, which is my husband and I's tradition. It was great. Christmas we went to my parent house for Finn & Hatti, which is basically fish and sausage. It is always the best :-) Then we opened presents. Then we came home and spent some time together, then my mom, dad and sister Jen went and saw Les Miserables. It was epic, it was so good! Jen and I want to go see it again next week :-P I am doing good mood wise, sometimes I feel like I am emotionless, like I can't access my crying mechanisms, it is weird. We may be adjusting my medications in January we shall see.

On a way positive note, my sweet baby girl got to come home for christmas. Mini Dee is one of my kitties and she is a very special needs one, she has Cerebral Hypoplasia, which basically affects her motor skills. She walks funny. She is a sweetheart, however she wasn't using the litter box at our house and was peeing on our carpet, well now we only have carpet in our kitchen, and it's going to be coming up in the kitchen ASAP.

Any how I am feeling pretty good lately, haven't had too many downs.

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?
