      I have been watching your stuff for a few months now. I have watched others for years, but since I started watching you, it has been a game changer! I have debilitating physical restrictions, so this has to happen. I have decluttered ( I love your ideas for this!), I have determined that I am 100% CRICKET!!!! I have followed your tips to organize your daily routines. I have a book for "to dos," but it never became easy until I followed the routines. I have the tall sea grass basket and the gold colored folder hangers. I already had some of your management book stuff, but your way is awesome. Thank you. I also love how you have been real and honest. When you were procrastinating watching TV because you were overwhelmed. That is reality. Things stay working well following your tips until life happens, and you fall off the bandwagon. Lol It's okay not to be perfect. You know what works and can go back to things when you have recovered. Lol. Thank you for everything ❤️

    You're the only person who's ever mentioned experiencing "that flashy light thing". I have had them from time to time for 25 years. I'm 63 years now and most people will agree that I am still perfectly normal. Strangely, I told more than a few physicians about the flashy episodes and most of them didn't identify it as ocular migraines. They just shrugged it off! So I continued on, hoping that it wasn't indicative of brain cancer or something. Sometimes the flashes start after I look directly at a bright light. Other times, I know stress was the trigger. (I never have vomited though. I'm sorry for you about that.) So don't worry too much, Cas. Thanks for all your excellent content. Love ya!

    One of my favorite organizing projects: I do quite a bit of baking, so I grouped baking soda, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar in a shallow square plastic container. When I'm following a recipe, I pull this out and put it on the counter - it's so much easier to pull out and put away one thing instead of several. To make this even better, I purchased small cans of baking powder that have a metal cross piece for leveling the measuring spoon. Then I emptied these and filled them with baking soda , salt and a specialty leavening that I also use (Bakewell Cream). I wrapped the containers in pretty contact paper and labeled the lids. Now they match, are pretty, and are easy to pull out and to use. I keep the backup supplies elsewhere. It did take a little time to create, but I enjoy it every time I'm baking cookies or cakes.

    Sorry Cas, It's called migraines with aura. It's your body's way of letting you know the migraine is coming. It's triggered mainly by stress or certain foods. Once the aura starts you might wanna get started on an NSAID like ibuprofen and since you already know you start vomiting, take an antiemetic and just lie down with cold compresses and rest. It significantly reduces symptoms. If you need anything stronger consult your doctor. Hope it's helpful. And by all means never drive when you start having an aura it is dangerous.

      My mom gets the aura at the onset of a migraine and she can often head it off with some pain meds and a caffeinated soda helps. I don't get a warning and it's infrequent, but I will take pain meds and lay down in a quiet dark room. I can't tolerate light or noise during them.

    To prepare for future decluttering sessions, try this:
    Get a pad of small Post-its or a roll of painter's tape and mark them with the current month and year. Go through your dishes, cookware, bakeware, appliances, orphaned cords, etc and tag them with one of the prepared date markers. When you use an item, remove its date marker.
    The next time you go through decluttering, you are better able to determine if the item is worth keep or that it's time for it to go. If it stays, leave the date marker on; in another year you may finally be convinced.

    My biggest win this week was adding a “clutter catcher” to my purse. It is just a thin desk organizer tray that sits on top of everything else in my purse. That way when I drop something in my purse (keys, tissues, mail, etc) it doesn’t go into the main purse but drops into the clutter catcher. Then when I get home all I have to do is pull the tray out and deal with its contents. No more having to dejunk my purse. I’m in love.

    Yes, I've had those visual "ocular" migraines for years & recently discovered that I can subdue them if I rest immediately upon the onset of one, you know that "light" aura. However that's not always possible, so I just try to find my zen by closing my eyes & letting go of every scattered stressful thing on my mind. A hot bath followed by rinsing in cold water and masterbation have also been helpful.
    You're so awesome! Thank you for all your clever, most wonderful awesomeness!

    You poor honey with that headache! You might possibly have a trigger in your diet, either a food or a chemical, though it sure looks like stress set it off. If you have them often, try using organic food, experiment eliminating common triggers like red dye and gluten, if you are lucky you may well find there is something you can avoid and not have the number or intensity of headaches. Also get bloodwork done to
    look for possible clues like metabolic markers or vitamin deficits. We are rooting for you, you deserve happiness and we need you well because you help us so much!

    What you describe with your headache and the lights you see is called an optical migraine. Sadly I have a few of those along with a few other women I know. It can be stress and hormone induced.
    I hope you have found some relief by the time you read this comment.
    Also Btw, I love your helpful videos and how FREAKIN hilarious you are! I have had plenty of dog poop cleanup mishaps myself, esp when the kids (or husband ) are in charge LOL, so I completely understand and I think all of your viewers appreciate how you are just a real person and Mom and how totally relatable you are. blessings to you and prayers for migraine relief.

    Cass, number one thing: it is easiest to organize with whatever you already own IF you unclutter the excess FIRST! I just did 3 drawers this morning in just a few minutes!! You always inspire me (maybe not the bed sheets🙄😱😂😂) and you always make me feel like YES I CAN!!! I am SO sorry about your incident with precious Penny!😞 I absolutely hate it when my pets get sick in any way and I am a nervous wreck. That absolutely leads to a headache and the headache makes me feel anxiety and panic! I am 60 now and was SO much better at handling these situations when I was 30 than now at 60. I think my brain suffered great injury by raising 4 kids, homeschooling for 21 years, and many pets over the years. I have collected myself SEVEN cats now,😱, but one of them is my emotional support animal! He just ‘knows’ how to act like a weighted blanket and force me to calm down! Hang in there, Cass!❤️

      I get those, too. I call them visual migraines. Mine are like splashes or starbursts in front of my eyes, and they don't really flicker, but they do prevent me from seeing in that spot. They'll spread from a small pinpoint to a huge splash that affects my sight for a little while. Unfortunately for me, when the splashes fade away (usually takes about 20 minutes), I do get a headache, though I've learned to go ahead and take pain reliever when I start seeing the splashes, and that helps with the headache.

Throwing up or at least queasiness. If I can’t hide away in bed in the dark I where sun glasses and a baseball hat to function around the house….very slowly. Stress induced for sure! So sorry.

  • @curiouscitizen4098

    Yes Cas, I have had migraines since I was 17 years old. Those "auras" are very common with migraine sufferers! They still don't know what causes it and there is no way to stop them. I have found over the years that I do have triggers. Some of them being bright lights, an empty stomach, being overheated, and being under stress. However, I think hormonal fluctuations play a part also. The older I get the less frequently they occur. The best thing you can do is get in a quiet, dark room and take a nap. If you have an empty stomach, eat a snack. Yours must have been a terrible one, since you were vomiting. I consider myself lucky because even though I got nauseous sometimes, it was rare for me to throw up. I took Imitrex twice and all it did was make me sicker and it felt like my blood pressure bottomed out. Not good. I empathize, I have been there dozens of times. Remember to take care of yourself and keep doing what you are doing. You are an inspiration to so many!

      Yes! It’s like a black hole, I’m thinking bins would help for this too since things tend to get lost and forgotten at the bottom. (For me anyway)
      I put smaller packages and items that we use frequently in the smaller drawer on top of the freezer (veggies, fruit, frozen meals)
      Tips for a chest freezer would be great too. We went in with friends to buy beef in bulk from a butcher, and I’m going to get some dollar store baskets or bins with handles to put all the ground beef in one, steaks in another, roasts in another, etc.

We will go “hunting” for sauces and condiments so putting them in the drawer is perfect. Now your door or even shelf is open to adding clear bins for your produce so you see it when you open your fridge and will more likely use it.
