Christmas is coming

Can you spot the kitty? For whatever reason I am feeling very 'clingy' today. I am sitting here waiting for my honey to come home from work, and I looked over under the tree and saw my beautiful little Cedes just snoozing away. She has been very snuggly today . I didn't have to go into work today except to feed the dogs, which doesn't take that long, so I went and got my christmas shopping done for my sweetheart. I never know what to get him, well he always tells me he wants a helicopter about 1 week before christmas......if you want it for christmas you better let me know a little further ahead than that. He loves the remote controlled helicopters.

I went and saw my psychiatrist, I am concerned about my Zyprexa as it is making me crave carbohydrates like crazy, it's like if I don't get them I'll starve. Also am having a massive acne outbreak which could be stress, but usually my outbreaks aren't this bad and last this long, even using medicated washes etc and still having the outbreaks. She said it's possible my meds may be causing it, but she wanted to wait until after the holidays and we will probably switch me to Seroquel XR in January to get off the cravings etc. We shall see. It was like a 5 minute visit, which is fine as things have been going good, just get a little stressed out sometimes.

We are having my family (mom, dad and sister Jen) over for Christmas Eve so they can see what Rob's family tradition (and mine now) is like. They make huge meal of turkey or ham and all the fixings, so I have been working on unpacking the kitchen and getting things more organized. We still need to clean/put away all the stuff the movers dumped in our Family room as well. Hopefully we will have it in shape for them to come over on Christmas Eve. We ALWAYS will go to my parents for Christmas morning as they have Finn N Hatti which is the yummiest breakfast ever :-) I think that is definitely a tradition that we want to carry on.

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...
