Last night’s dream, morning music

Originally posted 2020-08-21 07:51:17. My dream last night, if I can recall correctly had my 90 yr plus old grandmother. I don’t remember who all was there in my dream but I kept hearing Vince Gill’s version of Go Rest High on That Mountain. Now that’s all I hear in my head and it’s honestly unsettling. With all the loved ones we have lost in recent years it’s left me on edge, wondering who’s next.…

Morning Visions

Originally posted 2020-07-22 08:00:28. When I woke up this morning I awoke to the image of my momma laying there on the hospital bed in front of me… passed away. Looking like an angelic figure here on earth. That’s the last image of my momma I have. I begged my husband to let me go with her and to this day there is a big part of me that still wants to go with her.…

The Iron-e

Life isn’t fun without something always shaking it up LOL. I have been so tired lately and we couldn’t figure out why exactly. I kind of chalked it up to menopause. Supplements after supplements nothing seemed to work. Well I had gone to my primary doc for some bloodwork. My doc and I had both forgotten why exactly we started this but she went back and looked and saw I had dizziness and unexplained nose…

I’m so tired of being tired

Originally posted 2021-10-12 07:37:20. My arm, shoulder, and shoulder blade area is beyond killing me. For over a week now it has been constantly spasmming (is this even a word? I don’t know at this point and don’t care). It makes it so hard to sleep. I normally am a side sleeper because of my sciatica and the pain of it affecting my sleep. So I have to sleep on my right side. Well this…

Crazy dream

Originally posted 2020-04-07 09:09:44. Well, hello there! Hope you are having a safe Tuesday morning with all this craziness around us. I had a crazy dream last night. In my dream it seemed as if we were still living in Marine Corps base housing and we were out for an evening walk. It wasn’t late but the sun has already gone down. The streets were well lit so it wasn’t exactly dark. It was me,…

Covid Massage

Originally posted 2021-04-28 09:00:00. I need a deep tissue massage from a Russian lady named Olga… At least she seems to know how to do it in the movies. I haven’t been able to get a true deep tissue massage in over a year. No offense to anyone who does them but the ones I have tried just don’t have enough pressure or whatever it is that seems to be missing. My chronic pain was…

Benefits of a Weighted Blanket

Originally posted 2019-09-15 20:33:45. You’ve probably heard the term “weighted blanket” many times and might have thought, “it’s just a heavy blanket, right?”. Though you wouldn’t be wrong, as weighted blankets do indeed have a weight to them,  they are far more than simply a heavier option to cover up with. Studies show that weighted blankets can be beneficial for reducing stress and anxiety, and testimonials from owners who have used them for years prove that curling up under…

Ever been so tired you just can’t sleep?

Originally posted 2015-10-14 17:51:15. I don’t give up easily but here lately I’m testing those waters. I’m not really a drinker per say, even though I am of Irish descent. I wonder what happened to that part of me, who fights a good fight til the end like an Irishman, so stubborn. But between having to keep one eye and ear on Dusty while doing the same over James I’ve almost seemed to lose site…
