Stop Worrying

So I have not had any caffeine/soda today and lo and behold  my anxiety was minimal.  Yesterday I had one mug full which is 52oz.  I was not on edge today and I didn't need to take one of my anxiety pills.  I was/am so tempted to buy more 2 liters but at the same time, this feels AWESOME!  No freaking out, and no on edge from anxiety.  Glad that it is helping.  What's scary is how caffeine/soda affects me.  I am going to try to keep off of it permanently.  I have done it before and know that it can be done, I just have to make up my mind, and have mind over matter and keep it up.

Today I had a very aggressive dog that was rescued like that from a rescue.  I couldn't even touch him until his owners put a muzzle on him for me, then I was just going to trim his nails that's all he needed done, and the little bugger wouldn't allow it.  I know that dogs need rescuing but at the same time, how can they adopt out dogs who are so aggressive?  He tried to bite me several times, when the owner went to hand him to me he nearly bit me.  They thought maybe he was being protective so wanted to put him on the floor and leave the building and let me get him, I told them that wouldn't work, that lI needed to have him in my arms before they left.  Needless to say I was unable to trim the little buggers nails, I got 4 nails trimmed out of 22 (dewclaws too), but he was thrashing around and just wouldn't accept it.  Normally a situation like this would have put me on edge for the entire day......it didn't I was perfectly fine.  Told them that it would be best for a vet to trim his nails (sorry Vets in the area lol), as I couldn't do it safely.

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...
