Supplements

So, lately, I've just had no energy whatsoever, and it's been kind of annoying, cause, well, having no energy is just kind of annoying by default. I've been trying for a little while to pinpoint what's been causing it, and trying various methods to relieve said weariness to little avail. I tried buying bottled water, on account of the hard tap water here. I tried taking a multivitamin, which seemed to do the trick for a short while, but seemed more to aid in the prevention of communicable diseases during the cold season. Even getting more sleep wasn't helping, and that's just no fun, cause, I'd be too tired to stay up late and tired even when I went to be early.

So, I finally thought about it when I was considering why I've been bruising so easily lately. See, back when Natascha and I were biting each other for fun, I noticed that I was bruising from them. And, moreover, when kids were hanging on my arms in class, I was bruising from it. That's not a good sign. I was worried, as one always is at first, that I had developed cancer or the HIV or something, but THEN, it dawned on me during a jinx-style same moment comment that I probably have an iron deficiency. So then I went home and read the label on my multivitamin and was disappointed, yet in no way surprised, when I discovered that my multivitamin is exactly and only that.

So, I went and bought a multimineral supplement yesterday and started taking it.

This morning? Damn. What a difference. I woke up early, rested, and had energy today for the first time in literally AGES. It makes me think back to the previous almost two years of my life and how tired I was all the time. And I realize that left to my own devices I eat almost no foods that are high in minerals especially metals, such as red meat.

Oh, and Natascha and I had a little talk the other night and mutually agreed that we're just going to be super close friends, cause we like our company far more than we want anything to happen between us.

Additionally, tomorrow night I'm going over to see Janel, and I'm very excited about that. Mostly cause she's going to cook me dinner, and partly because I fully plan to make out like fiends. You can swap those two actually, it'd be more accurate.
