Yeah, pretty much. It could be used for soooo much more, but the majority of people I know are either planning their actual wedding, or the wedding they hope to have one day (I have a few friends that have their wedding pin board labled "one day...."). Which, I have learned....means absolutely nothing. I have a scrapbook (yes, and honest to god physical book) that is LOADED with a crap ton of ideas that I always thought would be really cool to have for my wedding. I don't think I'm using a single idea. My tastes have changed since I was a litle girl, so....you know...not a whole lot to go off of from that.
Grr....I have a doctors appointment today. Hopefully they'll be able to tell me what is wrong with me.

I'm not broken apparently, but there's a really good chance I'm anemic.
Can't go get the test yet though since I can't afford it right now.
At least I'm not broken though....that's good to know.

well not being broken is a good thing and anemic is lack of iron in the blood right? maybe try some good multivitamins?

Yep. I take a multivitamin every day that has 100% of the daily value intake of iron in it. Yet, I'm still not getting enough apparently. Won't know for sure until I go get the test done. Though....I'm going to get a second opinion. Mainly just to get a refferall for the test from a different doctor because I won't be going back to that quack office. It's a shithole office, and I don't want to deal with them anymore. But if I take the refferall they gave me for the test and get it done, that place will send my results to the quack doctor....and I don't want to go back there. So yeah....different doctor. Hell, maybe they'll give me the test right there. Who knows.

Hey hey, week off.
Hey hey, warmest winter in 80+ years so my planned photo journey up the Michigan side of Lake Michigan is killed before it even began. Spectacular.
Ahh well.

I think my venture out to the Winter Blast yesterday earned me a cold as well. Bleh. I'm hoping not, but I feel a bit sickly today.
I send you warm thoughts Jaddy.
I pulled a muscle doing my daily ab work out just a few minutes ago. And I get to leave my regular job shortly to go do my freelance job....which involves lifting heavy equipment. Crap.

Generally, multivitamins say they have 100% or so of the daily value, but it's all going into your body at one time. It can't absorb it as fast as it's being processed through your system. You could try a slow-release iron pill (they sell them OTC). Also, increase your intake of iron-containing foods: http://www.redcrossb...iron-rich-foods

That quack doc told me "oh, you don't eat meat? Here, take these pills" basically. When I told my lady doctor, she about lost her shit. She couldn't believe the quack didn't even give me a list of iron rich foods to try before going for a pill. So she gave me a list, and I'm trying to go off that. It just sucks that I don't like a lot of the stuff on that list. Being a picky eater is hard enough as it is.....meh. I've been forcing myself to eat raisins the last few days. I hate raisins. Hell, I barely like fresh grapes. But, I'm doing what I can.
