Study maybe.. biochemistry?

Well, the stuff on the internet about how D3 (a vitamin) works in the body hasn’t gone away, and the people reporting it’s effects haven’t gone away, and.. well.. It does help my energy levels and sleep patterns a bit. I started looking at it to begin with because of the yearly periods of insomnia, and it seems that a combination of magnesium and D3 helps best. However, I have certainly learned to take it easy on supplements! I’m looking forewards to seeing what my next HBa1C results turn out to be, but for right now, the basics of good diabetes control make up the majority of my day and the new patterns I’m trying to establish.

Had an insomnia period, thoughts

Oh, let’s see… I’ve been very preoccupied with the fact that Diabetes treatment can be helped with a vitamin supplementation, and the thought that it’s linked to my winter SAD insomnias. Over the last week of December I started having strong issues with falling asleep and waking up much too easily, and it led to a jumble of confusion and obsessive behavior, including tons of self-study online about nutrition. I ended up buying a bunch of vitamins and changing eating patterns, and it freaked my hubby out wildly.

So I’ve had trouble sorting out the results of vitamin supplements on 1) blood glucose levels and skin health, and 2) mental clarity, sleep and mood. Right now the name of the …

Anyways, a family member has helped us with what we needed to cover the electrical bill, and it turned out to cover precisely what we needed. Pretty much to the letter, because as really bad bills do, they're always higher than expected, even when you have a ballpark idea of how much you're going to have to pay!

To pay the Piper

Dear ones, I must say that I am still quite shaken in my boots over the rather painful news Mike and I deal with today. We have saved for a 4316 kw/h electricity bill, and it is due in February as an 8,000 kw/h bill. We are $1,400 short to pay the upcoming bill...

Even masturbation, which everybody is all quiet on, because doctors and the internet and scientists and even a lot of christians will say there's nothing wrong with. You know, my grandma said it'd give you eye problems, but I betcha she didn't have a christian perspective on it...

Theyâ€¦ Just canâ€™t figure out why they keep seeing these weird, â€˜illogicalâ€™ things in their samples(!)

Iâ€™m watching a BBS series â€˜the planets (episode 7, Life)â€™, and this one guy is marveling over that he found the chemical footprint of life in a sample of some of the oldest ocean sediment that exists..
Basically it means there was life almost immediately after the world was formed
interesting
*coughGodcough*
as that can only happen in one scenario
Mmmmhmmm. Creation.
â€˜Perhaps itâ€™s a sort of cosmic imperative that life should appear as a chemical consequence of the evolution of a planetâ€™
.. quoth the scientist
nevermoreâ€¦
I would laugh until I cry.. if it werenâ€™t nearly 3am. XD…
