Hurry up, wait and get hormonal

Here lately I feel like I am marking time. Standing still just waiting for my life to hurry up and start. I know that is the worst way to view my situation but it's what I feel. I start my real estate classes in the middle of next month and until that time I am just waiting. I know that I should be using my time wisely and getting all the stuff done that I need to do before I get too busy and that's why I have been exercising. I am, again, trying to lose weight and get healthy after my bout of flu. I have been working out and trying to get more movement into my day but I am having a problem with my sweet tooth. It seems that every time I eat "clean" (organic) I end up having this terrible sweet tooth. Then when I indulge in sweets, I get sick. I feel strange. My eyes feel like there is air being blown in them and I feel a definite mood change. What the hell? I feel sometimes like I am falling apart. I am looking forward to May when I see a doctor that specializes in hormones. 

Until then I try to limit my sweet intake. I have been using Agave instead of honey and organic cane sugar instead of the white bleached kind. Either way I am still taking in too many sweets causing me to feel tired and need more sleep then I actually should be getting. I used to be full of life and energy now I have to harness the energy. I have to keep it by eating clean. Any little misstep in my diet and I feel it. Is this normal? Am I the only one that has ever felt this way? 

Since I do not know any older women I don't have any point of reference for getting older. Perhaps they could clue me in on my issues...I know reading Sexy Forever by Suzanne Somers had helped but there is nothing like being able to talk to someone in person. This is life's lesson regarding our elders. In today's culture, we value the young and their youthful ways but forget about our elders. Perhaps we are too scared to spend time with them knowing we will get there soon. Is getting old really that bad? As a society are we really that frightened of old age that we shun it away in a dark and lonely convalescent home and hope it just goes way? I get like this when I eat too much sugar, sorry. I have decided to go back to my first love...Isagenix. This should put me back on track and I can eat clean with it too. I had to just throw that in there. 

I just get these strange thoughts in my head sometimes. Now I know some of you out there are wondering why I just don't get a job. Well, I thought about it really. It's not that I don't want to work it is just hard for me to find job that I can stay with that has the flexibility that I need. My son is Autistic and ever since he was born, my career has suffered for his needs. Now that he is getting older I can go out and do something but I still need to be very flexible in my schedule...hence the real estate career. I have talked to many real estate agents and they tell me that they all started out loving this career because of the freedom and flexibility they have with it. I am looking forward to that. Sometimes I feel old and useless. I need to work and feel alive and needed again. I can understand how people that retire can get restless and feel useless. Hell I'm not even 40 yet and I feel that way. When the highlight of your day is separating the darks from the lights you know you need to get a life. I know I shouldn't complain but hell this is my bytch blog right? : ) Ok, enough of the B&C.

Until next time...

Isn't this over yet?!

Sometimes I just want to scream! It feels like the last 2 and half years have just taken a crap on me and my family and there seems no end in sight.  Oh let's recap shall we... 2016 was my son's first open heart surgery followed by a plethora of doctor's appointments and other surgeries. I thought it was over by the end of the year and took the advice of Whitney Houston and friends when I exhaled. However, my fun filled days were not over yet and I found myself dumbfounded by the turn of events in my life.  2017 started out fine...well not really. January brought us the bad news that our black Lab Molly Mae had cancer. It was in her bones and basically there was nothing to do but love her.  So, that's what we did. We took her home and loved her. Then, in April we were informed that my son needed to have another open heart surgery because the tissue valve that they put in was not performing the way that they thought that it would and now needed ...

3 day nail check in

It had been three days since I have removed my nails and coated them with Sally Hansen's Hard as Wraps nail covering. Now the directions say to take off the polish after three days and restart the process all over again with two (2) new coats. When they say that you need to remove the polish after three days and start over, they mean it. Here is what happens on the third day, prompting you to remove the polish. My nails with the initial tear on the polish. The polish starts to lift and tear off. It started with a small uplift on the side of my nails and I pulled off the rest. Surprisingly, the whole thing came off without having to use nail polish remover.The problem with that, though, is that my nails underneath are still very thin and weak.  In this picture the nail is bent. It's a little hard to see it but I am bending my nail. The weak condition of my nails has continued and I see no real change to them . The next picture is of  the top of my nail, showing the te...

Peter O'Toole

RIP Mr. O'Toole.  I loved his work not to mention that he was an all time hottie back in the day. As he got older his wonderful acting ability came through. Although it was not an award wining movie, one of my favorite movies was High Spirits where he co starred with Daryl Hannah and Steve Guttenberg. I also liked the movie Creator where he co-starred with Mariel Hemingway, Vincent Spano and Virginia Madsen. Peter was capable of so many ranges of acting and the world will miss his talent. Until next time...
