3rd day in a row

3rd day in a row are you as shocked as I am?  I guess I have a lot of thoughts running through my head at the moment.  I really really just want to up and quit my job, but we really need the money even if it is just peanuts.  My job makes me so stressed out and anxious.  I pace while I wait for dogs to dry and flick my fingers, which are signs that I am anxious.  I don't take my Klonipin every day just when it is really bad as it makes me slightly loopy and I can't be that way at work.  Work has gotten better since my boss is now there on a daily basis (his wife was dying of cancer so he only came in 1-2 days a week, she has since passed on).  Because he is there I don't have to stay till 4 waiting for people to come pick up their dogs as he does.  He says he doesn't like being home so spends his days at the shop.

On one of my facebook groups they were talking about a support system.  I have to say I have an awesome one.  My hubby is so understanding of my bipolar, he supports me through thick and thin and is always there to talk too.  Granted I wish I could express myself more and talk to him more, but that is a work in progress.  I have my parents and siblings as well.  My sister Jen was my 'sponsor' for many months she would call me every day to see how I was doing.  I think it is vitally important to have a good support system in place if you have a Mental Illness.  I also have an awesome counselor and psychiatrist as well.  I meet with my counselor every 3 weeks and my psychiatrist once a month for the time being.

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?   ...

Who Are you?

Sunday stealing  Who Are you? Part 7 – It is Over!  Part 7: Self Image 84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you:   I wake up at 6:00am, take a shower, get ready for the day, then I go downstairs and feed the critters, and make breakfast for hubby and I.  We usually leave the house by about 7:30ish and I drop my husband off at work.  Then I work (I'm a Pet Groomer) until about 3:30 or 4:00ish then I leave for home and go get my hubby from work.  Then I come home and make dinner, feed the critters, work on cleaning the house a little and we usually head to bed about 8:30ish or 9:00. 85. What is your greatest strength as a person?   I am a very compassionate and have a big heart 86. What is your greatest weakness?   Interrupting people when they are talking 87. Are you going to run for President in 2016?   Nope, I don't care about politics all that much 88. Are you generally self-contained? No, I do like to talk, except t...

🌿 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...
