Just an update from me.......

It's been a while, but I have decided I need the therapeutic effects of keeping my blog up better.  My weight loss journey has been a struggle lately as I have been having Migraine type headaches for 2 months with every day for the past month.  So I haven't pushed the exercise like I should, but I am slowly getting back into an exercise routine.  I have been walking 1 mile every day this week and really watching what I eat and the weight is coming off again.  I have been losing and gaining the same 10# for about a month now, but I am out of the 160's and hoping to keep up with the weight loss and stay strong on the weekends (usually my excuse to eat like crap and more than I should).

As for the headaches, after seeing 3 different doctors in one office, I decided to seek help elsewhere as I didn't think they were taking me seriously as far as the treatment or seriousness of them goes.  I have a #10 on the pain scale headache EVERY day now, that is not normal and is starting to scare me.  So I went to my moms Dr who is an internal medicine Dr, she immediately ordered an echocardiogram to check for PFO which is a hole in the heart that can cause headaches, that test was normal.  Then yesterday I went in for an MRI with contrast of my brain.  No results yet, but they gave me a copy of the DVD and that is pretty cool and slightly scary to look at my brain.  I personally don't see any large tumors or anything but I don't know what I'm looking for either :)  It's just pretty cool to see. Hopefully should have results Monday or Tuesday.  My new Dr also suggested I see a neurologist so I have an appt in a couple of weeks for that.

As for my bipolarness.....it's been off lately, I have been snappy and rude to my husband a lot more than I intend too, he told me today some times he doesn't even want to come home from work as I snap and bite his head off for no reason, that hit me hard.  We usually have a really good relationship so it hurts me that I am the cause of it not being so good lately.  He says I tend to blame everything on my bipolar instead of just accepting the fact that I am being a bitch.  Again hurts me that I am that way.  I am really going to try to be stronger and think before I say things.  He doesn't deserve to be treated that way.  I know that my bipolar is not well controlled right now, we had to cut back my meds as they were making me extremely drowsy in the mornings and I was having a hard time staying awake to drive to work, which is very scary.  I have an appt with my psych in December so hopefully we can switch drugs or something to get it better.  I haven't been functioning very well lately at home, dishes pile up, house is a mess.  I get that from my mother, I love her dearly but she doesn't clean very good lol, my dad does most of the cleaning in their house.  So I have a goal to start getting things cleaned up, first by cleaning off my kitchen table which has become a catch all for everything and anything.  We usually eat dinner on the couch or at our desks in the office.

As for my job, I have been there a year now and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it.  It's really good, I love the people I work with and the clients and pets that come in.  I am very passionate about animals.

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...
