Benefits of a Weighted Blanket

By Carter Family | August 9, 2024 by Carter Family

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?

By Carter Family | July 24, 2024 by Carter Family

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…

Can’t sleep

By Carter Family | May 8, 2024 by Carter Family

I can’t sleep. I’m actually scared to go to sleep. I took Chewy to get an ultrasound today. They think he has cancer. The report comes back as early as tomorrow. I pray to the Lord above that it’s not. To hear that word again I literally had a flashback from the last time my momma was told she had cancer again. I literally had that same feelings. Chewy synced to me. He follows me…

Last night’s dream, morning music

By Carter Family | February 5, 2024 by Carter Family

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

By Carter Family | December 14, 2023 by Carter Family

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

By Carter Family | October 20, 2023October 20, 2023 by Carter Family

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

By Carter Family | August 13, 2023 by Carter Family

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

By Carter Family | July 27, 2023 by Carter Family

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

By Carter Family | January 26, 2023 by Carter Family

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…
