Everything happens for a reason

This week I am full of anxiety. I had a job interview at a Veterinary Hospital on Tuesday. She had me stay for a job shadowing for about an hour. I always clam up during those and I know it's holding me back in finding a different job. I try to ask questions and seem enthusiastic but it's hard when I'm anxious about the job. I wish I didn't have anxiety. I was told she will let me know by the end of the week. We shall see if she actually calls me if I don't get the job. My fingers are crossed and I am praying like crazy that I will get this job. I SOOOOO need it. I am so tired of grooming, I am to the point that I am dreading going to work. Which is not good. Things are so tight money wise, and this job would start in the $9 an hour range. Right now I am not even making minimum wage (I am on 50% commission).

As for my bipolar. I have decided I need to get off the Trazadone, it makes me too drowsy in the morning and I am afraid I am going to get in a car accident or something. So that's something to talk to my pdoc about when I see her the end of the month. I also want to keep the Geodon. I know she wants me off it since I am on Seroquel, but I really really like the weight loss effects and I think that it helps with my mood. So that's another thing I have to talk to her about. Right now I am taking a reduced dose of it only 1 capsule per day instead of 2.

I don't think I have ever said this but my hubby and I are gluten and sugar free. I have a blog: http://healthygrainfreeliving.blogspot.com/ That I put some of the recipes we have tried and liked on it. Right now we are making zucchini bread. It has been over 3 years since we have had it, and the first test batch is really yummy. My church is having a pot luck dinner next week and we are supposed to bring something made from the harvest, so I chose zucchini bread. We haven't made it yet. Next I would love to try banana bread. I had a really good recipe with regular flour but haven't tried a gluten free version. We have just discovered an awesome gluten free flour blend so are able to have breads and such now which is AWESOME! I'm not a huge lover of bread but it's nice to have it every once in a while.

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...
