Not Moving Very Fast, But Moving

AS I SIT HERE, the thought of not getting a break in the utilities crossed my mind.  Tis chilly in the mornings.  We did not get a break in the utilities this AUTUMN.  We went from running the air conditioning to running the heater.  Looking forward for the price break in spending money for utilities.  Didn't happen this year.

Bundle up with long sleeved shirts and sweaters.  Wear thick socks to warm ze toes.  Snuggling in with blankets and throws.  Might have to use a space heater by my feet.  Sipping hot chocolate and coffee and TEA.  Warmth to embrace.

I love opening the windows to let fresh air inside and yet I have not been able to do this 'THIS AUTUMN.'  Sad, but true.  Hoping for a few days where I can admire the changing of the colors of the leaves from the inside of my HOME while looking outside from the living room.  After we get the upstairs media room tidy, we'll be able to sit up high and look out the window at the trees shedding their leaves.  The twirling leaves invites a kind of childlike behavior in me that erupts in my imagination.  

Back to reality of being a grownup that enjoys the simplicity of leaves twirling to the ground. Watching the leaves fly through the air is magical.  Whirlwinds from gust of Kansas wind doesn't disappoint.

We had the duct work cleaned earlier this month so the dust and dirt that made it's way into the duct work has been done away with for a while.  The air is cleaner when the heater runs where there is not as much dust settling on the furniture and the everythingness in all the rooms.  Time to consider cleaning the duct work when you can literally see dust particles streaming in the air when the sunshine lights up the particles.  This is a sure bet that the duct work is in need of cleaning.

I am the MAID and I am slowly dusting the everythingness in the rooms.  Slow as I can be but moving toward the goal.  It's difficult to get excited about walking about doing the much needed chores when my heels ache so badly.  

A Vitamin D deficiency can cause aches and pains plus fatigue.  Welp, I will be taking VITAMIN D starting today.  I found out I am very deficient in the D department.  PRAY IT DOES THE TRICK and I get to feeling way better.

What if all your health issues were solved by taking the right kind of Vitamins at the right time of day?  Most docs do not study nutrition in their medical schooling so they seldom encourage taking vitamins and minerals other than a multi-vitamin.  Not sure how they can ignore how scurvy was relieved in so many with the use of Vitamin C.  A VITAMIN.    

5 Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency

Most people don't realize they're deficient in vitamin D until it's too late. This is because the symptoms are often subtle and confused with "normal aging." Here are 5 telltale signs and symptoms of vitamin D deficiency:

1. Feeling Tired All the Time: Tiredness and fatigue can have many causes, and vitamin D deficiency is often one of them. Even having slightly low blood levels of vitamin D can have a negative impact on your energy levels. 2. Low Mood: A depressed mood is a common sign of vitamin D deficiency, especially in older adults. If you feel down or irritable often, there is a good chance your vitamin D levels are too low to support healthy mood balance. 3. Weak Bones: Vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bone by supporting calcium absorption and bone metabolism. Many women with bone loss believe they need more calcium, yet very often they are deficient in vitamin D. 4. Getting Sick Often: Keeping your immune system strong is one of vitamin D's most important roles. It directly interacts with the cells responsible for warding off pathogens. If you find you get sick often, low vitamin D levels may be to blame. 5. Unexplained Aches and Pains: Muscle pain and weakness is a red flag that you have inadequate vitamin D levels in your blood. This is because your body's vitamin D receptors are present in the nerve cells that sense pain.

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, can calm portions of the immune system that are involved in allergic reactions. Cod Liver oil is high in Vitamins A & D which are natural anti-inflammatory to reduce inflammation of the mucus membranes. Vitamin C reduces inflammation and allergic responses.

Live and learn.  

Tis important to live and listen to learn.  

This knowledge is valuable.

Time to dash out the door to wash some more clothing....not down by the river, 

but at the Laundromat.

Pleasant thoughts,
