Don't Bother me! I'm Crabby!



I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. I didn't sleep for squat and am fretting over a bad conversation before I went to bed...but sometimes I just wake up crabby for no reason. Why is that? What causes our moods to swing when there's no PMS reason for it? Is it the lack of sleep or something that happened in our dream state? I know I had some very weird dreams. Actually had a dream that there were HUGE waves and people were playing with very large seals in the waves...WHAT in the world does that represent? Would that be the cause of my crabbyness? Sometimes just out of nowhere people get crabby in the middle of the day...is that some daily cycle rhythm thing that is coming out? If I could put my finger on why I get so crabby sometimes then I could stop it perhaps. I actually am even keeping my "crabby diary" along with of course, the migrane diary, which is how I figured out that the full moon causes one...but there's no rhyme or reason so far for the crabbyness. Either way I wish I could wear a sign or bib like the above to announce it and tell people to stay away! Wonder how that would fly in the office??!!

Full Moon causes Migrane!



My Mother and I are testing a new theory; that a full moon causes us to have a migrane. My Dad first noticed a pattern this year (it only took him 20 years!) that my Mom and I tend to have headaches at the same times! So he started plotting what the weather was like. We discovered that when the barometer changes, boom, we both get a migrane. But even more interesting...we both get a headache around the time of the full moon each month. Now neither Mom or I have a "cycle" anymore, so although there are theories and ancient people's tended to ovulate by the cycles of the moon, this is not a test we can perform. Nevertheless, somehow our bodies ARE reacting to it. Now I want to research the power of the moon and its cycles even more...what ELSE does it impact?

You are invited to the funeral of Mr. Pillow


You are all invited to the memorial service and burial of Mr. Pillow.
Services to be held around the trash can on Tuesday evening at 6:00 pm.
Doctors performed surgery on the belly of Mr. Pillow and thought all was well. As they were closing up Mr. Pillow with his final stitch, surgeonsdiscovered several other perforations on Mr Pillow's back side. After further inspection and much stuffing loss, Mr Pillow breathed his last breath. Surgeons decided that it was best to not close up the remaining holes and to let Mr. Pillow die with his dignity in tact. He had a long and very productive life and he will be missed.
He is survived by Mrs. Pillow.

To BEE or not to BEE?

I love bees. They are amazing little creatures that polinate so many flowers/plants. It's very sad that they are becoming more and more difficult to find as they lose their habitat and are being wiped off the planet. I discovered when I was in New Zealand about 5 years ago that they make the most wonderful healthful honey called Manuka. It's like a miracle drug. You can use it to heal wounds, cure indigestion, and cure a sore throat. I had forgotten about it until recently when I was searching my cabinets for cough syrup. I found the honey. That's all I needed. That honey works better than any cough medicine out there. I also rediscovered my Propolis drops, which is know as "natures best defence." Honeybees gather the resign from NZ trees and carry it to the hive where they mix with with enymes and beeswax to make propolis...another wonder drug...although if you are allergic to bee stings, probably shouldn't be eating it!
