Good morning. I'm pleased to wake and find the effects of the muscle relaxants have finally worn off. What a shit 24hrs. Headache, grogginess and nausea. e: Orphenadrine / Norflex was the drug, horrible for me.
I've got low iron and low magnesium so I'm hoping it's just something that I can supplement away. Amusingly, my blood appears to be not 🤘metal🤘 enough. I'm also feeling the cold much more than I normally do but I've also lost a bunch of weight so that could just be missing the insulation. Irritatingly it's not in muscles I can easily reach to dry-needle.
So you're getting healthier and suffering? That kind of tracks to be honest. When I lost weight years ago, definitely felt it in the winter.
Like proper felt it.
I bought one of those spiky cushions to lie on, and that's helped with circulation to my back heaps. Sucks for the first minute and when getting up, but does wonder.
Like I said chatting to Gibson the other day, I've mostly gone vegetarian the last few years so it tracks that I'm low iron. The supplements are working, just slowly and I'm not sure that's the actual problem. Doctors only know so much. I think I've got a shakti mat somewhere, I'll give it a try.
Might be the smell of fresh water or the splashing sounds that triggered it. But now that it knows, you’ll have a regular visitor! I have a couple of magpies that visit my bird bath. One of them only ever drinks, the other one likes to get in and splash around. Only worry I have is the water heats up a lot on hot days, so I try to go change it out in the afternoons if it’s a hot day.
Oh no, someone who went to the Stop Making Sense show left their vinyl slip mat on their train seat when they got up. Is it worth handing into lost property at the station when it opens? How would you even let someone know to ask?
Is there a mint shortage? Fresh is hardly there and I've been looking for dried in between marjoram and mixed herbs for yonks now. If there is a shortage then shit is dire.
My friend grows all my herbs for me cos I've used up all my growing power growing a human. I cbf going around there this weekend. I wanna spend the weekend with my husband doing what you find amusing. 😉
My local Coles had fresh mint in the sleeves a few days ago. If you can substitute with peppermint ( stronger flavour?) then maybe pour out the content of a couple of peppermint tea bags, or loose leaf peppermint tea? And now we all
want to know what delicious things you’re making!
Nah I don't think it would work. I like using the dried for salad dressing, crumbed lamb cutlets, cucumber soup etc. It's handy to have in the cupboard. The fresh I use in cold drinks and in salads.
I've just typed the word "investment" wrongly three times in a row. I need a holiday. If I end up typing 'super fund' incorrectly, it's time for a medical certificate.
apple turnovers with cream & honey and a cup of coffee please chef. Gotta fill up on carbs before tomozz cos I'll be living on salad & icecream over the weekend due to weather.
Beautiful day outside. I am on a noodle hunt. I will catch some fresh noodles first, then also go forage an Asian grocery store for the dried kind, and also get some kimchi and fish balls andddd dried mushrooms or something. Noodles heal my soul
Going to bed, earlier than usual, but I is skawandered. Will probably wake at some unholy hour tomorrow, but there's a lot to do and it should still be cool ... Goodnight all.

Ted Report.
Ted has lost 1.25 kg in the past year, which is excellent. Vet was very happy.
But he was so stressed he couldn't get vaccinated. So he has some sedative to take and will get vaccinated next week.
poor little guy
and Miss Seagoon found out his full name is Theodore, he's not just Ted.

First I've heard of it. Piedmonte's still has it in little plastic containers. Don't recommend Psarakos as their herbs are always a bit tired.
