By the way, I am ready for springtime. Better yet, summer! This cold stuff is not friendly and brings out the worst in us. On the bright side, we are closer to spring than we are to the beginning of winter. =)
I know that this has nothing to do with what I am writing but this is something that I have on my heart. People need to be careful with medications and food interactions and drug interactions. Your doctor needs to be told any medications that you are on in order to figure out what would be safe to prescribe for you. For instance, common aspirin can cause nutritional problems. It decreases the absorption of vitamin C in leukocytes and impairs the protein-binding ability of folate. Previously I was not aware of how careful we need to be with drugs and supplements. People think that because it is a vitamin or mineral supplement it is safe. You need to work with a nutritionist or Registered Dietician to figure out if it is alright for you to take.
Have a fantastic weekend!

I do remember those snow days. I don't think it gets any better as the kids get older either. As mine were in their teens and we had the big blizzard and ice storm, we had no power (used kerosene lamps) and only the heat from our woodburning stoves. This went on for days and no one could get out to get to the store. So what happens? My son's friend decided to come to our house and he couldn't get back home. I swore I would never play UNO again! And I can't tell you how many times we all yelled, "Shut up, Shea!" The boy just runs off at the mouth constantly - probably why his mom and dad were always happy to have him stay with us. The final stay lasted from before graduation til he went in the service. I cried - his mom didn't!
ReplyDeleteEveryone functions better on a schedule.
ReplyDeleteI remember those days, but in MS, it did not happen very often.
