  Happy

  
  

  Anniversary

  
  

  Greyfox!

  
  

  12 weird

  
  

  years, and

  
  

  

  
  

  I’m not
  yet sure
  which
  it is.

  
  

   

  
  

  
  My ducks in a row (part 2)

  
  

  The task of setting up my nutritional supplements in a month’s worth of 5-times-daily dosage packs has been on the back burner for weeks.

  
  

  Yesterday I got all the flats, bags and bottles back onto my bed, and by the time Greyfox got home from town (dusk, just after sunset) it looked like this:  little bottles empty and all lined up to be filled with pills from the big bottles.

  
  

  While we watched an excellent episode of The West Wing, and a better-than-average Law and Order, I got 3 out of the 5 daily doses bottled up.  These are the ones that must be taken on an empty stomach.  The two daily packs to be taken with meals remain to be sorted out.

  
  

  I’m going to have to blog some more about this health stuff, but for now, suffice it to say that it was the appearance of new and scary symptoms of diabetic neuropathy that impelled me to put together these amino acid neurotransmitter precursors that are supposed to help me transcend my food addictions so I can stick to my diet.

  
  

  Both Greyfox and I were exhausted at the end of the day, he from a solo shopping trip for groceries and car parts, I from accomplishing tasks that tax my finger dexterity even more than the keyboard or PS2.  My poor muscles, loaded with lactic acid from chronic fatigue syndrome, were tense and achey last night, but have recovered this morning.  I slept unusually well, was so comfy around 4:30 when I was awakened by Doug’s preparations for bed (loading the wood stove, laying out his floor cushions and sleeping bag, etc.), that I didn’t jump right up for my turn at the computer, but went back to sleep for two hours.

  
  

  Now I hear wakeful sounds from Greyfox’s room, so I’m out of here.  I probably won’t get around to read anyone’s blogs today.  I expect to inflict some spontaneous anniversary celebration on my unsuspecting spouse, if he will cooperate.
