Wise Mind

Today I had a visit with my counselor.  We talked about rational mind, wise mind and emotional mind.  She did a mindfulness exercise focusing on my breathing today.  I also talked to her about my being sad, and while I was there it kind of hit me that my job is a source of my sadness and overwhelmedness at the moment.
I work alone, well my boss comes in about once or twice a week but always after I have finished for the day, so doesn't really help out.  I don't have a guaranteed payday as it depends on when he makes it out there, and I am expected (since I live closer to him) to go and feed the shop dogs 7 days a week.  I have now arranged for my paychecks to be transferred to our account as they bank at the same bank, so if he can't make it out on Wednesdays (which are supposed to be paydays) he can just transfer the money instead of making me wait a day or two for my paycheck.   I am not even making minimum wage for the hours I put in, and I know it's a commission based income, but somethings got to give.  My counselor told me that I should talk to my boss about advertising and things to increase the business.  She also wants me to talk to him about all the responsibility I have and possibly getting a day off.  It's hard because I don't want to let him down and I know how hard he has it right now as he is caring for his wife that is dying of cancer, she is no longer able to walk and he is in a wheelchair, he has to carry her in a wheelchair to the bathroom now.  But anyways my job is making me sad as I don't feel like I am getting paid enough (not enough business and cheap cheap prices).

I am proud of myself I picked up the packet I need to fill out before the new psychiatrist will make an appointment with me today and plan on taking it back either thursday or friday so I can get an appointment with her.  I am really excited as I am done with my previous psychiatrist, I have been depressed for a while now and she hasn't done anything about changing my medications at all.

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...
