My furbabies

Today was a slow day at work, so I took advantage of it and took in Annie my pekingese and Zoey my chihuahua for their spa days.  Annie got a hair cut, and Zoey got a bath and a pedicure.....as you can see from the pictures, neither one was amused.  Zoey has the "I'm not amused" scowl down perfect.  Ted, my boss came down today and he is in a wheel chair, I wasn't sure how Zoey would do but she was so excited and walked right up to him in his chair and got loves, he told me he was going to sneak her home in his jacket.  She definitely is not the 'normal' chihuahua people see....the ones that are nippy, noisy ankle biters.  Zoey has really been a really good dog, my only complaint is that she doesn't always hit the potty pad 100% of the time, but hopefully now that we only have carpet in the kitchen (and not for long) that will change and she will do better about using the potty pads.  She is 7 years old it is hard to believe that she is that old.  She has had a lot of health issues and if it wasn't for me switching her to Prey Model Raw diet, she would still have health issues.  She was on 8 different medications a day at one point, now she only gets Prilosec daily to help control her Cerebral Spinal Fluid (she has hydrocephalus (water on the brain).  She really is a character and I love her to pieces, I swore I would never own a chihuahua and now I can't imagine my life without my little Zo Zo.  She is such a lover bug.
Today at work I was in quite a state, I was annoyed at not having any dogs to groom, then got even more perturbed when a repair man was an hour late, so I got to sit there and wait for him, I am not paid hourly but on commission and I don't get paid to sit there waiting for people to pick up their dogs, or for repair men, but I get elected to do it.  I don't mind normally but today was not such a day lol, I was in high annoyance....finally took one of my anxiety pills and that seemed to help matters.   My boss's wife is dying of stage 4 cancer, so I feel for him I really do, and she isn't doing too good right now, so he has been sparse at the shop, which is fine, but sometimes it gets a little overwhelming.  I think I need to have my anti-depressants (Wellbutrin) changed or increased, am only taking 150mg once daily at night, but I sure have felt in the slumps lately and down in the dumps the past few days.  Today I felt like crying for no apparent reason....joyous.

So day just got worse and worse as it went on......we decide to go out to eat for dinner tonight, so we got to a parking area where there are lots of different restaurants, and parked trying to decide where we wanted to go, and all the sudden all the power in the city goes off......so we drove about 20 minutes and went to the Golden Corral, it helped somewhat with my mood, but reminded me why we don't go out on Friday or Saturday nights all the crazies are out lol.

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...
