Feathered Family

Recently my sister did a blood test to see where our parents' ancestors were from. I also decided to look into our history, so I looked up my family tree. Not that I want to regurgitate all these pellets of history on you, but what I found really turned heads! I always knew I was a night owl, but it seems many of my mousey relatives were as well. I was curious hooo we got such great hooters and wide eyes, and there it all was on the geneowlogy site.

My Vitamin Budget

My iron is super low. I'm no doctor, but when I was looking at my iron levels I noticed I pretty much don't have any. Which is unfortunate, because I like donating blood [wave of sudden guilt after realizing I've not done so in almost a year].

I bet this smelled terrible.
To combat my lack of iron, and because I wanted to feel like a real adult who takes care of herself, I started taking a multivitamin. But it was monstrous and always got stuck in my throat. You can just feel it now, can't you? That giant, dry vitamin stuck to the side of your pharynx.

Tired of choking down my multivitamin twice a day [or not at all if I forgot], and vaguely jealous of my niece's gummy vitamins, I decided to get some gummy vitamins of my own. They've got three flavors: chocolate, white chocolate raspberry, and vanilla bean.

I haven't noticed too much of a change overall. And while it's not so much that I'm surprised how much more I poo now that I take vitamins, but more so the fact that I have to budget more for all the toilet paper.



Just kidding. I don't actually have a budget.
