No Regrets

So my days off have switched to Tuesdays.  Even though I slept in today, I have gotten a lot accomplished.  I scooped litter boxes, swept up the litter mess the cats scattered all over, done some dishes, put away laundry, painted the trim in our office/craft/hobby room, took out the garbage. Which is quite a bit for me normally I spend my days off just goofing on the computer.  But I am proud to say that today was different, today, I made the choice to be somewhat productive.  My sister and I are going to go to dinner and a movie today.  We were going to go at noon however she had to go into work so we'll go to a later show.  We're going to go see Skyfall.

I always look to the past, and have regrets, I like the quote above because if I regretted my incident in August, I wouldn't have learned anything from it.  I have learned so much in the past 6 months, and feel so much better than I did.  Yes I still have my down days, but I am so happy that I was able to get treatment and get back in to see my psychiatrist and counselors and get some of my issues worked out.  Yes I have many more, but I don't regret what happened at all, as it was life changing for me.  I learned a very valuable lesson.

The first few days of me trying to stop drinking so much diet coke were a disaster, the past few days have been great though, have just had one mug full each day.  Which is quite the accomplishment seeing as how I have been drinking two 2 liters a day......yeah I'm that addicted.  The more anxious/stressed I get the more I drink.  However I am determined to quit drinking it all together.  I just have to have mind over matter and just do it.  From what I have read the diet soda, caffeine etc can cause or aggravate depression and anxiety. I'm glad that I read about it and decided to research it.  Yesterday my anxiety wasn't that bad, today I don't have much anxiety either.  SO maybe there is some truth to what I have read.  I will keep you posted on how I do.

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...
