I went in for my annual physical last week and got some blood work done. I had been avoiding it the past few years mostly out of laziness.
So I got a phone call at work last friday from my doctor’s office with partial results from the blood tests. Normal vitamin D levels are around 60-80 (at least that’s what I remember hearing. The internet says 40-60. No idea what the units are here.) and my test results: 12. I don’t think I’ve ever failed a test by that much before.
Anyway, I assume this is my own doing since I rarely go outside when the sun is out. And, surprisingly, my doctor prescribed me some super strong supplements instead of making me go outside. I’ve been trying out this sun thing lately just to be safe though. Not so bad so far.

And a belated cookie post…
I used some of TLD’s home-made strawberry jam for the heart cookies. And Ian had the idea for the fancy spiral cookies. I might try different flavors with those next time. We just used food coloring this time to test it out.

Alright, so I’m a little late to the game on this one… But my bro & his wife got their upgrade a couple weeks ago.
I’m still waiting to make my judgment. The original is still reliably cute and entertaining, but shows signs of the terrible twos coming on. The new baby doesn’t do much, but is surprisingly agile and I’m not as scared of her head falling off as I was with the previous model.
In any case, all is well. Mother and baby were home just hours after delivery. Hope to have more pictures soon!
