Dark Days of January


As we are mid way of the dark days of January I can't help but wonder what is going on with the madness. As of January 31st I am to be without a job. . . not this again! It is truly making me wonder if being a chiropractor was what I should be doing in the first place. There just seems to be no end with the hiring and layoffs and being replaced with a younger, male chiropractor. As I am currently 6 months pregnant there is no way that I will be able to find another job unless I get a side gig and do some assistant jobs on the side to be able to subsdize my income. . .just until I get cleared by the doctor and midwives that I can go back to work after having my second little nugget of love. I don't blame this stroke of bad luck on this baby but I feel guilty that this baby is going to be born in this financial storm that is brewing. I know we will be alright as hubby is taking on more jobs in order to make more money for baby and what is going on with my son. Last year was hard with the first trimester and dealing with working crazy hours and having limited time to use the restroom because we had to be front and center for the patients. But, I can say I enjoyed my job because I didn't deal with insurance.

On a good note because I hate simply talking about depressing life as I am sure you are since we have had a Himalayan salt lamp in our home I have noticed that my skin looks much improved. It is looking like I have a glow but I still get dry patches and mild acne but it doesn't last as long. I have been in the mood for some serious conditioning which is great for my hair as the hair has been crazy dry. I am looking to make some more deep conditioner and I want to do deep conditioning twice a week instead of once a week just so I can keep my hair good and moisturized throughout the winter which seems to be the most difficult thing on earth! I am seriously adding two leave in conditioners during the day and night. Also, I trimmed my hair and good thing I did because it slowed down the clumping and loosing of hair. As I am keeping up with pretty twist styles it has helped and I even had patients compliment me on my hair. Yes! I need to feel pretty because I have not in the past couple of months.

The Great Conjunction- Function: What does it all mean?

Image
 If you are living under a rock or not into Google, you most likely did not see this picture:  So, if you did see this and think: how cute! Let me click on this. You already know. So, today is December 21st which is the winter solstice. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks the astrological first day of winter is the longest night of the year. What you may not know is that two planets are aligned so it appears as if they are giving each other a "high-five". They call this a conjunction when planets are aligned. How cute, right? They have not been this close since 1663, so this is an epic event. So, you will be seeing something that Galileo saw when he devised telescopes. This event happens every 20 years but every 321 years or so where you can see it in great detail. Both of these planets are beautiful, not like Earth but beautiful. Now, if you are like me and live in an area of light pollution, most likely you will see a star and a planet. Here, in Chicago proper, ...

Where does the Time go?

Image
 I know where my time goes- into treating patients. I am loving this life of treating numerous and multiple patients. Maybe from the suppression of seeing accident and worker's comp patients.  That is really me treating- no Photostock/AI pictures! Side Note: This was created in February 2025. It was stopped and completed in April 2025.  With changes in the schedule, it has been difficult to maintain this blog. I am keeping current and will begin to have a schedule where I post once a month. Wish me luck!

Food, Air and Water Show and NAILS

Image
Today has looks very similar to yesterday- work out, eat when you can, read, clean, computer searches for jobs along with ideas and concepts. This morning I went for a run and it looked like rain so I shortened the run and went a little faster just because I did not want to be like the old guy in the tale "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and get struck by lightning. Hubby somewhat shocked me today because he asked about the Air and Water Show. I asked why and he thought it would be good for both of us to go either this year or next year. I have always hated the Air and Water Show because when I lived two blocks from the lakefront I could never nap or focus because of the noise of the planes. One thing about living in the city I do not like and that is all the noise pollution. I have pretty sensitive hearing so at times my hearing goes out for a day once it went out for three days and when I say goes out I mean it feels and sounds like someone put cotton in both my ears...
