Ready for the future

So today I had a Dr's appointment to follow up from my injury from the car accident.  Got the all clear from my Dr.  I haven't been in pain with my back or neck for about a week now so that's good.

I have an appointment with my Psychiatrist later this afternoon.  I'm really torn on whether or not to tell her I've been having suicidal ideation lately.  I don't want to get thrown in the looney bin, but I want to be honest so I can get the right dose or different meds for my depression.

On another note, my kitchen is still clean, dishes are done nightly and everything gets wiped off daily.  Definitely a miracle.  It's been a week.   It's so nice to be able to find utensils, cooking pans etc without having to hunt them down on the counter or stove, then having to wash them after the food has been stuck on for days.  It's easy to keep clean.  I am grateful to my hubby for helping out with keeping it clean as well.  Totally awesome!  Now if I can get the rest of my house clean, I could probably keep it clean too. 

Back from my appointment.  We figured out why I've been depressed, we were cutting back on the seroquel to try and get the number of pills I take in a day down.  Seroquel acts as an antidepressant as well as a mood stabilizer.    So we increased the seroquel back up to 200mg at night, and are going to try to cut back on the geodon in 2 weeks if no more suicidal thoughts/depression.  Then we will go from there, we may increase the seroquel if I go into manic episodes.

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...
