I think the supplements are helping, along with the Light Therapy lamp. Those photos on KD’s blog are so beautiful.

I like the soft natural white shades, but not bright white. That's just my opinion though!<br />Re the iron, I know you're a good and adventurous cook for guests but I wonder how much you're bothering cooking "proper" meals on a day to basis now it's just for one? It's something many single folk don't do, of whatever age. You don't have to make three course dinners every night of course but do have a think about what you do eat and whether it covers all the nutritional bases. A good standard multivitamin + multi mineral tablet daily is worth considering (if your doctor doesn't think specific supplements are necessary) at any age, to fill in any minor deficits on a day to day basis.

There is some logic to it - faster, tighter, less yarn per stitch as the tension goes west.<br />jeanfromcornwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062674591619616456noreply@blogger.com
