Upgrade in progress

Remember that upgrade I talked about here?

It's in progress. Really. What am I talking about? Ah, it's a woman thing. Some women today need extra progesterone. Yes. It's fine to talk about. Natural progesterone cream is available in the United States without a prescription. Dr's poo-poo it here. Well, what else is new?

Many doctors do just that, offer drugs for symptoms, not something that will HELP someone. I've struggled with migraines and PMS symptoms for years. Are these things real? Yes. What could help someone like this? Progesterone? I'd have laughed at that in the past. But no longer. For the last couple of weeks I've been using some. I'm calmer, like right now, even though I have a screaming, rebellious 22 month old right next to me. A month ago --pre-progesterone era-- I'd have been furious by now.

I have so much to say, but won't. The big thing about this is many women struggle in their adult years, needlessly. They struggle with health issues, infertility issues, quick anger, sluggishness ... just to name a few things. Women are called lazy and/or sinful because of these things, by Christians.

I got by. I treated my symptoms as well as I could with over-the-counter meds. But I realized finally that here in my mid-30's things were getting way worse than I'd ever experienced. Imitrex, Prozac, just two things any doctor would GLADLY throw my way. I've never asked for these, and never will.

What does natural progesterone do? It creates a balance in your body if it's out of balance. If your body is hormonally running smooth, it feels quite different. I know the difference now. It'll take awhile to attain a stable balance ... but so far, it's like night and day, the difference. As my husband put it the other day "I can see that we are becoming a kinder, gentler family!"

Wow. Yes, just one woman changing, changes the whole family. Chain reactions are cut off at the core. Mornings aren't as hard now either. No, I'm STILL not a morning person, but neither am I a Grizzly coming out of Winter Hibernation either anymore.

So, was it sin that made me grouchy in the morning? Sin that made me have a hair-trigger on my anger? Sin that made my body freak out over loud noise?

If so, why is it that natural progesterone cream use has rendered me nice in the morning. What is anger? Very little contact with it. Loud noise? What's too loud? Three screaming little children? Not anymore.

That's just the beginning. Migraines aren't as bad. Energy is somewhat better. Low-Blood sugar tendancies are improving.

God has given us what we need to live. If in these modern times I need extra progesterone, then yes, it's what I need, and it's available. I can sit here and desire to be nicer ... and want to feel better. I can pray about it daily, often, always.

God will heal me one day, all of us actually, of our afflictions. But in this LIFE, we have things to make us function better ... natural progesterone cream for women is one of these things. And it's not a "drug" it has no bad side-effects. It's exactly what our bodies make. It's something good. Mine is called Happy PMS Cream. Funny, but TRUE!

So if any one reading this has any PMS symptoms, find out about using natural progesterone cream. It could change you back into you -- Defragging works smoothly now, since I began upgrading.

Who owns the cat?

Well, we have a cat that visits us. He started visiting us in January 2001. He's a beautiful Brown Tabby.

He showed up at our deck door, and sat there pretty much all of the time, taking some time off, of course, just looking inside. Two weeks LATER I started to feed him.

He's usually around, but sometimes isn't, for a few days to a week at a time.

The thing is, lately, the last few months, he's really grown on me. "Good Visitor Kitty" is his name, but that hasn't felt right the last month.

Questions about him abound. Does someone else "own" him? If someone else thinks they own him, what's the deal, letting him roam around free all the time?

Who spends time with him? Me.

Who feeds him? Me.

Where does he sleep? On my front porch, or on the back deck, or under the car on the driveway.

The last several weeks he now wants to come into the house. Who'd blame him, it's HOT out there! Besides that, he's happy there. He loves to sit on my lap, or my husbands lap. He purrs alot. He likes to just lay on the floor and watch what is going on too. He doesn't particularly like the attention of the children.

The dog doesn't affect this cat at all. He ignores the dog. The dog does nothing to this cat. One of our other cats is very affected by the dog. He chases her. So, our visitor kitty is a cool customer. I like him.

He showed up today late in the afternoon. He wasn't around this morning. Humph. He has a collar and a rabies tag on this afternoon, and looks cleaner ... someone gave him a bath.

But he's in our house, on my lap, at this very moment, purring and rubbing his head against me.

He's shown up clean (obviously bathed) before, after an absense of a day or more. But then he stays by us for days on end, and weeks on end ... etc

I'd like to know who thinks they own him. Or maybe it's just another kind soul who wants to clean him up when he's around. But I want the job. He likes us, we like him. Problem is, he's an outside cat. But he's aclimating to being inside more. I really think he'd do fine inside.

We have 5 other cats though. Is he healthy enough to not cause a problem with our normal status pets? Too late, some of them have interacted, sniffing noses and such. Eating and drinking from the same bowls.

So, does having possesion of his affection and time, and giving him food and water denote a kind of ownership? I'd like to think so.

But someone else, totally unknown to me, has collared him, and perhaps taken him to the vet. The tag isn't from our vet, so calling a strange vet office to ask questions isn't as easy to me.

I do think it my Christian duty to help animals that are around. We are to take dominion, and that does include cats. Cat's shouldn't be roaming about outside. They aren't natural to this place, the United States. They are wonderful animals, but not to birds, many of which are natural to this area and on the decline. Cats are predators, no question of that.

So, feeding this cat is important, to keep him well fed. But I would prefer to feed this cat inside, and take care of all his needs. And not wonder about where else he spends PART of his time. He spends the majority of it with us. But I've not felt the right to "label" him as mine. Or to attach a note to him asking someone to contact us about him.

Well, we'll just go on like this for now. It's frustrating. There is a house up the street with lots of cats wandering about, having kittens often ... multiplying and multiplying again and again. I'd like to put notes on all THOSE cats too, but they don't come to our house.

Our responsibilities should not be limited to just ourselves. We should let our neighbors know the truth about things. Not just cats and dogs, either but TRUTH. Okay, so maybe I will attach a note to this cat.
