The Decision To Try

I guess I am in sort of a slump....not really feeling like doing very much these past few days other than snuggling on the couch with my sweetheart watching tv shows. I have so much I want to get done, but haven't done any of it. I had to go feed the dogs at work today, so I did get dressed to my shoes and did that, but came home and have been parked on the couch since. I have made the decision that I am going to try to be better this year, I am going to try to be more productive and try to keep a clean house, enough is enough. We still have quite a bit of cleaning to do in the basement of this house, and we will get it done, but take it one day at a time.

I have a sinkful of dishes that needs to be done, dog crates that need to be cleaned out, litter boxes that need scooped....I will be back......going to go do at least one of those tasks. I'm back.....got a load of dishes ready to go, and cleaned the dog crates out. Woot Woot! Baby Steps.....Baby Steps. That's what I keep telling myself. I tend to get overwhelmed by things as a whole and then I don't do anything as it's so overwhelming that I just fret and have anxiety about doing it. But if I break things down into baby steps and bite sized pieces it is much more manageable and I am able to do things. So that's one reason I like FLYLady's techniques as it's baby steps, not everything at once. I am doing my best to implement her techniques so I can keep my house cleaned and organized.

I am proud to say that I got all 3 of the tasks that I wanted to do done today. That's an accomplishment.

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?
