Tag Time!

I really need to go through the tags I’ve been using for my posts. I have so many and I generally just copy and paste them all, each day. I’m sure that some of them are no longer relevant though. I’m going to paste the list here and check it out…
#yoga for pain relief,#meditation for pain relief,#poetry#bug bites,#beachbody,#Beaumont AB,#medicinal marijuana,# atypical facial pain,#teambeachbody,# 21 day fix,#chronic pain,#www.tnnme.com,#clinical depression,#www.zazzle.com,#cannabidiol,#cannabinoids,#MVD surgery,#TN research,#dependency,#chronic fatigue,#vaporisor,#cannabis,#side effcts,#marijuana,#acute pain,#Chalene Johnson,#neuroplasticity,#TN,#health and fitness coach,#lasertherapy,#trigeminal neuralgia,#yayme,#medicinal marihuana,#get in shape,#coach,#los weight,#mairrage,#pain sensitization,#affiliate marketing,#pain relief,#parenting,# kids,# shakeology,#facial pain,#wealthy affiliate,#vapping,#meditech,#health and fitness,#challenge groups,#edmonton,# laser therapy,#PIYO,#vaping,#marihuana,#life by design,#coaching,#medication,beautiful #pain,#Striking Back

Some of them are obvious as to why I’d use them. Most would bring you to the post and make you wonder why that tag is there. The idea is to bring you to the blog and then hopefully you can find the relevant post. I think you’re supposed to make them each more specific for each post, not so general. Hmmm. Some of the pain and TN ones I’d keep, but some can go, like the beachbody ones, since I’m really not even doing that anymore. The pain ones are a common theme in my posts, which makes them more relevant. I think I’m going to shrink it to this:

#yoga for pain relief, #meditation for pain relief, #poetry, #Beaumont AB, #medicinal marijuana, #atypical facial pain, #chronic pain, #www.tnnme.com, #clinical depression, #cannabidiol, #cannabinoids, #MVD surgery, #TN research, #dependency, #chronic fatigue, #vaporizer, #cannabis, #side effcts, #marijuana, #acute pain, #neuroplasticity, #TN, #TN type 1, #TN type 2, #lasertherapy, #trigeminal neuralgia, #yay me, #medicinal marijuana, #get in shape, #lose weight, #mairrage, #pain sensitization, #pain relief, #parenting, #kids, #facial pain, #health and fitness, #edmonton, #laser therapy, #vaping, #marihuana, #medication, #pain, #Striking Back, #Weight Watchers, #WW, #smartpoints

It’s still pretty darn long, but at least it now has only relevant information to a lot of the posts. I don’t even know if the tags are at all useful…no clue! I’ve been meaning to take a look at those Forever!!! Finally I did it. This won’t be the most interesting post to read, but I feel good that I accomplished something!!! Now, I’m heading to bed. It’s almost midnight and I’m sooooo tired!! Not much else to write about anyway. Today was just a normal day…didn’t do much while the kids were in school, went yonZvostconafter dropping my daughter off at dance. Made supper, watched the tv…yep, pretty boring stuff!! So I’m off for now. Night all! 💤😴

Evil Lurks

She smiles demurely, 

Yet hidden sinister thoughts abound!

With a polite nod,

She imagines throwing you to the ground!

Her insides simmer,

Overflowing with darkness and hate. 

She quietly chuckles,

Engaging in twisted thoughts of your fate.

Her little wink,

Carrying on the pretence of kindness.

A peck on the cheek, 

While imagining shaking you ’till your mindless.

How did she become so cruel?

Consumed by malevolent thoughts and wishes?

Beware of her solicitous facade,

Because evil lurks behind her kisses…

Yawn…

Well I’m sorry to say it, but I’m exhausted (it’s not the first time you’ve heard me say this and it’s likely not the last!!) ! It’s soooo late and I can’t sleep and I’m tired. Today’s dance, was in the production category, (it’s a number where they did three different songs, with different types of dance and singing involved & practically the entire studio, from the little ones, to the 18 year olds!! It’s 10 minutes long and so much fun to watch.) This year’s production is called, “Ali” and it’s based on Alladin!  They did amazing and received high gold and most outstanding!!

Just before we left:

My princess!!

Right now, about to lie down:
I can barely keep my eyes open…can you tell??

Sorry. I need sleep! Last day’s tomorrow…yay!!!

Another Dance day!!

Another long day of dance…

Exhibit A:

After day two‼️

Exhibit B:
Still smiling…but VERY tired!!

I am not going to write a whole lot. I’m too tire and no sleeping in for me tomorrow!! So, here’s the update: Jazz, she got gold and first. Hip hop, she also got gold and first and adjudicators choice award. So far so good. 

I’m sorry to say that this is all I’m posting today. I can hardly keep my eyes open and I feel like I’m getting sick…blech! Also, it’s almost 1:00 am, and I have to get up early tomorrow. I’m too tired to write anything else tonight!!

A Busy Day

Such a busy day

I don’t have much to say

I watched my daughter dance

(While I was wearing uncomfortable pants!!!)

She did so very well

And not one of them fell 

First is what they got

With a gold to add to the pot

I just love to watch so much

My heart is what gets touched

That didn’t even rhyme

But it doesn’t have to every time

I need to go to bed

And lie down my sleepy head

This weekend is going to be long

And not getting enough sleep is wrong

If I don’t get to bed

Tomorrow I’ll feel like the walking dead

So goodbye for right now 

This is all my brain will allow…

Night all!!!

On The Back Of A Whale 

Cascading hills drag her away

Her mind open like a butterfly 

Imagination takes control

As she drifts up towards the sky 

Talking to birds who fly with her

Singing in tune with her song

Floating on the backs of dragons 

Where nothing can go wrong 

She yearns for such reassurance in reality 

Confounded by the hate and pain 

That she so sensitively feels in her heart

Despite her efforts, she can’t remain

Closing her eyes with a sigh of relief 

She escapes back into her fairytale 

A land of wonder, full of good 

And she dives away on the back of a whale

Ride The Waves‼️

So, it turns out, that there are more than just my two regular readers!! So sorry if I offended anyone. Sometimes it just feels like this is a journal that I just write in every day. I hadn’t received any comments in ages and was feeling (sniff sniff) lonely (sniffle) – lol!

Riding the waves of a happy life!!

Finding unpredictable experiences and joy!

Savouring the good moments!

Facing the rough ones. 

Never knowing what’s coming. 

Fear is not the way. 

Life is uncertain, yes. 

Life throws curve balls, yes. 

Yet, life presents opportunities. 

There’s love and family. 

Romance and fun. 

Laughter, giggles and belly laughs. 

The sweet sound of a baby’s laugh is beyond compare.  

How do you not smile at such beauty?

Why must you expect the worst?

Is there bad, sure. 

There’s excruciating pain. 

There’s loss of loved ones. 

There is war and pain and violence and hate…

Do you throw in the towel?

Give up?

Walk away?

Avoid…?

Live a fear-based life?

Will you choose to miss the precious moments, for fear of the bad ones??

That baby’s laugh?? 

The beauty and joy?

Have you no faith?

Do you not trust?

Do you not believe?

Negativity begets more negativity…

The law of attraction states like equals like, it is the attractive, magnetic power of the Universe that draws similar energies together. It manifests through the power of creation, everywhere and in many ways. This law attracts thoughts, ideas, people, situations and circumstances. 

Negative thoughts, quitting, giving up, thinking, “nothing ever works out for me”, makes that continue to happen!!!

Do you see? 

Enjoy life, love life, believe that life is meant to be lived fully, with joy, love, happiness, laughter – positivity!!

You just must believe! 

Believe that your life is a thing of beauty!

Believe that you will always have whatever you need. 

Believe that you can change your life for the better. 

Just believe!!!

So, smile🙂

Try skipping happily to the mailbox 😜

Think of all of the good things you want in life. 

And…

You will attract good into your life. 

The bad may come occasionally, but, in the end, good shall rule the day!!

So, ride the waves of a happy, life!!

Tree’s Up!!

We decorated our tree today:

  
 

Posed (& held) our dogs in awkward positions & took photos:

  

 Did the same to the kids and hubby:  

Couldn’t find my phone because it was being used for a selfie:

 

Had girls who were short on the serious side:

  

  

Said, “No! No! No!” and “Be careful!!” numerous times and probably sighed just as many!! We’re not the most traditional, we’re mainly silly I know…but that’s what I love about my family!!! I’m pretty lucky to have them!

Busy Busy Day 

My good friend Jo (otherwise referred to as Bubarossa – nicknames we’ve had for each other since junior high. Great Bubarossas think alike…) came over this morning to help me out with our cluttered house. This time we went through my hall closet. It has been stuffed full for a long time, mainly with my numerous jackets (many of which I forgot I even have!!) She’s really good at getting me to go through things and actually throw things out. Also, we took many jackets that don’t fit or aren’t worn anymore and took photos so that I can post them all and on the buy and sell to make some money off of them. Now we can actually use the closet like normal people do…

Too too tired for much more tonight.

I Was Like The Brave Little Toaster Today!! But It Wasn’t Toast I Was Cooking…

Last night I kind-of chickened out! I felt nervous about “smoking” marijuana (I actually have a vaporizer, I don’t think I’d be able to or even want to, for that matter, smoke it!). I know that in medicinal marijuana the THC is much lower than the THC in marijuana found on the street; often two to three (or even more) times lower, but I still didn’t do it before bed. Also, I was so tired that I could hardly keep my eyes open anyway, so I didn’t really need it for sleep. I did find the courage to move past my old, ingrained belief that marijuana is bad and I tried it twice today. I did two “puffs” like my dr said to start with, but I  didn’t notice anything  significant on the 9:9 ratio. Once my little man is asleep, I will be trying the 18:1. 

Okay, as you know by now, my memory is shot!! So, please forgive me if I am repeating any information from yesterday!

Jenn’s Medicinal Marijuana 101:

In medicinal marijuana, the growers manipulate the chemical ratio between the Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD). The THC action very specific known as cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are found throughout our bodies, in most tissues and organs, but there are numerous in the brain and nervous system. These receptors are involved in the regulation of many bodily functions including: brain and nervous system activity, heart rate and blood pressure, digestion, inflammation, immune system activity, PERCEPTION OF PAIN, reproduction, wake/sleep cycle, regulation of stress and emotional state and many other functions, which I don’t want to go on and on about here. If you want more information consult the “Information for Health Care Professionals: Cannabis (marijuana, marihuana) and the Cannabinoids”
The above information was taken from the “Health Canada Consumer Information on Cannabis (Marihuana, Marijuana)” pamphlet.

Some critics of medicinal marijuana say that the man made pills (there are actually quite a few if you search it.) that mirror the chemical content of the CBD  (Cesamet or Nabilone is the one I was on 5 or so weeks ago) or those that follow the same the same pathways as marijuana, etc. are all a patient needs. They don’t think that the THC or smoking are necessary or healthy and that those who do smoke medicinal marijuana are doing so because they just want to get “high”. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they just take one or more of the pharmaceuticals that are similar to the Cannabinoids? However, there is also new research coming out that is showing that there is something about the interaction between  THC and CBD that makes it more effective for pain treatment. My pain dr has been in his profession for over 25 years and, in his opinion, based on observations he has made through the years, the medicinal marijuana just works better for neuropathic pain. I absolutely trust him and, frankly, I just want the pain to STOP and if that means I’m “vaping”(as the cool people call it – lol!!) medicinal marijuana, then that’s just what I’ll do!! Whatever helps!!

Wow, isn’t this a long post!!! Please remember I AM NOT AN EXPERT!!! I’m just learning about these things myself. Much of what I’ve written today was either things I’ve read, information from the pamphlet I have, things I’ve heard, from my doctor, my husband (Hee Hee!!), etc. I am on the opposite side of the experts!!! And now, I’m off to get high! LOL!! Only joking!!! Sort-of…
