quick state of me

[unicornduke]

 I've been tired lately, which is why I haven't posted anything or said much on any social media. I had a migraine monday and it lingered through yesterday despite the medication ( new one I'm trying, does not work so I'm done with it). Today was a busy day at work. We mailed 1100 8.5x11 things which each had to be stuffed with 3-4 items, labeled and run through the mail machine. I feel bad for the mail people. I called in a work party so we could get it done. There were donuts and lunch provided and we got 95% of it done. The other 5% needed a different form made up and we didn't think of it before hand. So. Eh. 

I still haven't gotten my dad a chirstmas present. I need to go buy myself some knives for butchering so maybe I'll go wander around and see if I find anything.

I made chili over the weekend and never posted that. Maybe I'll get to it. 

There isn't supposed to be any snow coming up so I should be able to get the field cleaned and pictures taken of my field when I go to PA on saturday.

idek. tired. I'm thinking of going to sleep except I end up laying in bed, wide awake as soon as I go to bed.

My doctor said to take vitamin d and I tried for like three days but it definitely screwed my sleep schedule. I take my BC at night around 7:30, which is about an hour and a half before bed. I haven't been able to take it in the morning or take the multivitamin I picked up because I can't get it into my morning routine. I keep trying and manage it for two or three days but fail after that.

Haha! I usually aim for something somewhat interesting but slightly boring so it puts me right to sleep.

If taking Vitamin D screws up your sleep schedule you nigh-certainly really need it; pretty much everything that holds an organism together (connective tissue, bones, membranes...) needs vitamin D to function properly. (That includes brains! One of the great triumphs of evolutionary medicine (wait, we're talking what increased rate of death due to skin cancer? and people lose their melanin anyway? But people only need micrograms!) And then the lightbulb went off about what that means for the answer to "is this important?")

Sometimes fish oil works better than the other versions; I'm really trad about this and take cod liver oil.

And, yeah, the getting it into the routine and dealing with the results can be a sucky six weeks or so. Very likely worth doing anyway.

Arg. I figured that was the case. I might try and switch my BC to the morning and take both then. I can't imagine taking things twice a day will work well, even with the phone alarm I have for the BC I still forgot it sometimes.

Well, I've got a week and a half off work so I guess now is the time to try it.
