Girlfriend is feeling better now she’s home. She gets her cast off in a week, a few days taking it easy and she should feel a lot better
Good news man :)
I’d been warning my man he needs new work pants because of the holes in the crotch area. Today he was bending over to wrap a pallet and wondered why there was a cool breeze. Forgot he was wearing boxers, has a look and one of his nads was hanging out.
I reinforced the crotch of my work pants with old rainbow thermals. Externally it looks a bit like a rainbow vagina.
😂
He usually wears briefs so you really can’t tell. I got a re-enactment when he got home. I’m not complaining.
Did he pop the second one out, just for you?
No just the one.
omg, lol
Apparently I’m super duper ultra low in iron, B12, and vitamin D. Gotta go to a compound pharmacy for the B12, so I get can some big phat pills made up to take once a fortnight.
Doc reckons it explains the weird muscle aches, super bad depression times, and uber-lethargy. But everything else is fine, all my other vitamins and minerals are noice, no indications of diabeetus or anything, phew 😅
Once I’ve been taking supplements for like 2 months, I have to get another test to check if I’m uptaking it well. If I am, then I’ll ask about perimenopause and getting my uterus yeeted.
did they warn you about Nexium (the antacid)? Also blocks iron absorption, so be careful on that.
It also causes issues with bone density.
Can you start taking vitamin D even though you haven’t seen a doctor but you think you might be low because you don’t get outside much because the sun hates you?
Unless you have an identified need (ie low on a pathology report) its just gonna give you expensive wee.
I already have expensive wee. Lol.
I’ll try and get 10 minutes a day and go from there. Thanks. Much appreciated ❤️
They used to say that 10 minutes of forearm exposure was enough.
I think I can manage that.
I believe so. The ones to watch out for are Vitamin A and Vitamin E for overdoses which can kill you or make you very sick. Excess quantities of most other vitamins just get pissed out and don’t do too much damage en route. Vitamin C in particular gets pissed out if taken in large quantities.
Are you a redhead? We make our own
No. My mum was. I have light brown hair.
can’t hurt then. I think the number is like a full quarter of aussies have a vitamin D deficiency which sounds insane, but stops cancer so fuckit.
True
All g I don’t take antacids so I don’t think I’ll have issues with that thankfully
You can get B12 vitamins by injection from a doctor. Cost might be a factor. I haaaaated taking Maltofer. If you can source stinging nettles these are one of the richest sources of easily digestible iron after meat. But they gotta be steamed/wilted or they sting. If you want to go on a forage for nettles up and down Merri Creek this coming weekend - I’m up for that. Its prime nettle season right now.
Are you vegan/ vego by any chance?
Yeah somewhat vegetarian; I’m not strict, like I’ll eat a steak or a roast, or something with meat in it(soup, stir-fry, etc), but I generally eat pretty vegetarian. I’m also generally OMAD too which wouldn’t help at all.
I find iron supplements a little digestivly challenging. Maltopher was better than Ferrograd-C. Syrup was better than any pills, but way more expensive.
Sweet thank you!!
Seconding Maltofer as the gold standard, though it is priced accordingly!
When I need it, I pick up Wagner Ferro-Sustain (cheap and relatively kind to the gut) and Cenovis Kids Vitamin C (250mg is enough to complement the iron without causing much further upset on an empty stomach).
The supplements work great. Get the 10000 vit D and take it daily. Don’t bother with the lower ones.
Lovely thank you!
FWIW I’ve been taking the 5000 IU vitamin D for a few years now and I’m still at the lower end of the acceptable range on my blood tests so don’t fear the high does recommendation. Vitamin D is cheap too, I use iHerb.
Oh an look for Vitamin D with vitamin K supplemented, it helps with absorption.
eg, https://au.iherb.com/pr/california-gold-nutrition-vitamin-d3-k2-as-mk-7-180-veggie-capsules/124745
Exactly. The supposed multivitamin tablets have about everything in them but not enough dosage to be useful.
If you are very low, you might be better off with an iron infusion. Iron supplements can take a very long time to get levels back to normal, could be 6+ months. That’s a long time to be feeling exhausted and potentially suffer digestive issues. Unfortunately quality of life impact of iron management is not taken very seriously by many GPs. (Probably because it’s mostly a women’s issue). There will be a cost if you go through the GP, but I believe there is a clinic at Royal Melbourne hospital to get it done for only the cost of the prescription? Might be worth checking it out to see if you’re eligible.
Thank you! I’ll check that out! :)
Doing a photoshoot for the council today to show off the trailer pram and promote active transport.
Some of the best jams I have by myself are not recorded and I kinda like it that way.
It’s like this thing that lives only once then back to the ether.
Good cooking gives something of the same vibe. Enjoy the moment knowing it will never come again.
For me it’s the choons made and then there’s a HDD / hardware failure / reinstall but you’ve mixed down 50+ versions of it…
You’re like “yep guess err hmm… that one’s done”.

Thx chef, the end of the marathon is dragging and I feel flat. Flat emotionally (boo) and a flat physically (woo) as the belly bump has gone down too. I had an xmas in July party lined up but events might’ve changed. I still think I’m buying and eating an Aviv Babka if the party happens or not.

New jeans have been attained. I have gone down 2 sizes in the past year. 😭
I also got this cardigan. I had to. https://dangerfield.com.au/products/official-portrait-cardi?variant=47657396175066
shout out to the awesome assistant at Brunnie store, she was so helpful 😽
That cardigan is so stinkin’ cute!! I love it! Congrats on the jean sizes!!
Thank you 😽
Work kicked my ass today, but I still managed to knock out an awesome chicken satay dish for dins. No nail painting tonight as I still have half a container of plastic to unload tomorrow. Tomorrow night shall be nail painting and maybe some wine.
The latest Windows build fixes the details view in File Explorer, filenames show proper units (KB, MB, GB) instead of it all being in KB. They must be digging into some ancient code for that.
Doing some computer stuff. I like the computer. You can get into shenanigans territory if you don’t treat it like a potential mess though.
I am in water pump shenanigans mode. Just ordered a new starter capacitor hoping for a $16 fix rather than a new pump. Everything else looks fine. Even the capacitor looks fine but it’s a cheap replace/test, cheaper than a good enough multimeter to test it with.
Aw nice I’m sure it will work out. One time I replaced a water valve in a washing machine for like $12 when my housemate wanted us to all pony up for $600 for a new one. I still feel pride. Hope you get that satisfaction.
Woohoo impromptu 4 day weekend! Our systems are struggling so rather than risk us sitting there twiddling our thumbs much of the day they are letting us burn annual leave instead - I am ok with this.
Ugh tried to play cyberpunk 2077 and it crashes. Tried to play Sacred 2 and it freezes.
Can a game just run, I just want to play a game as a big titty lady ffs
Gotchu fam
Two completely different games to have crash on you. They must be for different reasons
2077 because my pc is just ever so slightly old, I think. Sacred 2 because the Steam version has a memory leak issue I can fix with a community patch, from my cursory net search lol
I cracked the shits instead and had some popcorn lol
jeans too big, jeans falling apart, need new jeans, must go to dangerfield
an extra sleep please
Done! Your order should arrive around 3 PM today.
