Happy and Healthy

Have any of you tried these colon cleanser type of things out there? It's been so popular lately to take things like cleansonix and so many people think that there are some great health benefits. I'm not too sure about it myself but think it's worth reading up on. I wouldn't doubt that there are some good things coming out of them or they wouldn't be so popular, right?

I have a highly sensitive digestive system so this kind of thing may not be for me. I always seem to have trouble with things going wrong in there. I was born with a birth defect so something seems to come up every so often. It really is a pain to have to be as careful as I need to be sometimes.

I think that it's probably a good idea to talk to your doctor about taking anything at all before you do just in case there are risks that we aren't naturally aware of. Sometimes people have a tendency to over do these types of things and can cause a lot of problems in doing so. I'm sure it would be fine on an occasional basis though.

Depression

It wasn't until a few years ago that I discovered that depression, although undiagnosed, runs in my family. I always had known that something was "off" with them and myself but I never really knew what it was.

The hardest has been the last couple of years. I have figured out that both my mom and DH are bipolar along with other things and it is really hard to deal with both of them when they are going through their periods of anxiety and what not. I'm beginning to get totally run down and often I find myself sinking into their abyss and cease to function properly too. Everyday is a struggle and with our financial state the way it is and with a toddler running around like crazy it's a mad house. Sometimes I find myself needing my own padded room. LOL I wish they would both come to terms with their issues and get help to save us all.

Review Reading

I've decided that before I take another diet pill I'm going to read through as many weight loss supplement reviews as I can. Not only for the obvious reasons but I think it's interesting to see what the majority of people are experiencing during and after taking one.

I know that I'm not looking for the next wonder drug or anything like that since I just need a boost but there are so many new ones popping up all the time I can't help but wonder if any of these are actually doing anything at all. It wouldn't be at all surprising that some of them claimed to do something and ended up being some type of placebo thing or something. There's just too many to keep tabs on now.

Physical Therapy

My grandma is having a very difficult time walking and her balance is totally off now. She falls constantly and the frustration of knowing that is starting to become overwhelming. I really don't understand why my family isn't trying harder to get her a wheel chair.

She's supposed to have physical therapy everyday but her blood pressure has been up and down and when it's too high she can't have that done. Then we found out that they were billing one place when they're supposed to be billing another. Thank goodness she has a good Medicare supplement or it would have been a large amount of money and thank goodness it's not me handling all that stuff because I really wouldn't know where to begin. LOL!

Is it Over Yet?

So many small things have been happening to me lately that I feel like a cloud won't stop hovering over my head. It's such a pain to know that eventually something will go wrong during my waking hours that I'll have to deal with or fix that it's driving me crazy.

Every morning that I wake up I try to be optimistic and have planned out what it is I'm going to accomplish and what happens? Everything else! I have to stop everything I'm doing in order to figure out what to do for the situation at hand. Some times I feel like I've got a curse on me or something.

I really hope the worst is over and I can start being normal again!

Starting Over

Since the economy went bust there have been so many people moving out of here it's almost crazy. The moving companies San Francisco has must be busier than ever! Things are so expensive out here and companies were having such massive lay-offs it was hard to fathom.

There's a house on my street that just went up for sale but she's not moving because of the economy, lucky for her! This lady's moving because she's going to help out her son with his new found fame. Yup, this woman is the mother of Adam Lambert! How cool is that?! I would love to have that kind of excuse to move out of here. LOL Of course I had no idea that she was my neighbor until we had a yard sale and she came out with some of her own things. I almost went over there to buy a few just so that I could say that the stuff was his mom's at one time. I know I'm going to end up regretting that some day down the road. ;o)

Crash Dieting

I'm not sure if I've talked about this one friend I have yet...she's getting married in a few months and can't fit into her dress all of a sudden. She's normally really good at maintaining her weight but it seems stress is getting the best of her. Now she's on the hunt for the best weight loss pills since fasting isn't something she wants to do and eating right is already being done. Frankly, I think fasting is one of the worst ways to lose weight anyway. It's a good thing that she isn't pregnant and can take some weight off however she needs too because she paid a ton for that dress. Why is it that they always buy the dress WAY too early?!

It's Been a While...

I haven't posted in a while and I don't think I have a whole lot to say. LOL Since last time we've had a major panic about our mortgage, gone through our house and decluttered, and I've been working up a storm.

Things never come in a steady stream when you work from home and all of a sudden it will seem that there is TONS to do and not nearly enough time. Even trying to get laundry done has become a huge deal lately. Some times I do miss working outside the house just because I would have time to myself at some point in the day but no matter what things end up finding a way to spin out.
