Thanks. Looks like I''m not going down to visit her this weekend. That just means it''s a shorter drive for me and I''ll be helping BF''s grandmother instead of mine. Does this stuff always come in waves? I feel like the last year and a half has been bad news bears for grandparents.

I''m so sorry to hear about all this! Hugs and lots of support from me!

Yes, I actually have. I''m sleeping *tons* better, so less sluggish I''m still not 100% energy-tastic, but it''s been a big difference.


The most notable difference has been my mood. I get very moody and can get depressed, but my mood has improved significantly since I started. ALmost no mood swings.


Honestly... if you''re concerned about your sluggishness, I''d get a blood workup. Then you''ll know exactly where you''re at, and the doc can give you a prescription strength amount of Vit D if you do have a deficiency.

I think I will. I''ve been wanting to exercise in the mornings, but I just don''t have the energy to do it, it''s frustrating.

Bia and Elle, how funny that the VitD discussion came up again. I have been feeling moody and irritable and sluggish so I went and grabbed myself a bottle of VitD supplements remembering your older posts. I''m pretty sure I''m deficient because I really don''t like being in the sun and I don''t drink milk because I''m lactose intolerant. I got the 2000 IU 1/day. I haven''t noticed a whole lot yet except I''m feeling less depressed than usual. Cross my fingers!

Hello ladies! I''ve been MIA the past (almost) week trying to finish up a magazine that has to go to print. And now I''m working on another big project that''s due this Friday. Just checking in to see what''s happening in PS land. I see miss Elle got engaged!!!! OMG I can''t believe how happy I am for her!!!

I''ve got to check the other threads and see what else I''ve missed....

I also stay out of the sun and don''t drink much milk since it doesnt like my tummy.

The first change I noticed was my mood, so it sounds like the vitd is helping! Over time it should increase.

Glad it is helping a little so far at least. Having steady moods feels awesome!

It's a psychology type magazine. 48 tedious pages with front and back cover all designed by yours truly...

 

[princesss]

Squirrly, I just barfed a little in my mouth. Yuck! I do have pictures of you with a fairy wand, tapping the fruit saying, "Live, live, live, die, live, die, die, live, live, live, live, die, live!" Apparently I''m crazy, lol.

i''m so bringing my sparkly fairy wand to work tomorrow. it''s actually quite awesome, it''s a rave party on a stick courtesy of the dollar tree. and you''re not necessarily crazy, you just haven''t realized not to encourage me yet

Hahaha! I have one, too. It''s my ban wand. I touch it to things I don''t like and ban them from my presence. BF likes to tease me, so sometimes he''ll run away from me and I have to chase him with the ban wand, pointing it like I''m Harry Potter yelling, "BAN! BAN! BAN!" Almost like Bam-Bam, but not quite.

 

[Squirrly]

hehe i might have to do that sometime, ''cept my boy''s nickname is Bam so he might accidentally come towards me if i say that... not a bad idea at all

kids toys got so much cooler. now instead of spoons that change color when they hit cold milk, cereal comes with led spoons. completely not fair.

 

[jcarlylew]

lol.

who says you can''t have the spoons?

 

[Squirrly]

wow i''m tired. i''m now giggling hysterically remembering going to eat with people my freshman year and ''spooning'' with everyone at the table. ah adventures with cutlery, definitely good times

 

[jcarlylew]

lol.

i am soo ready for bed today. only 2.5 hours of work left. yaarg.

 

[Squirrly]

yay! you can make it!
