I’d be interested in a thread or private group for those doing the reading challenge. I’m really interested in what other people are choosing to read.
Me, too! I have just discovered The Literary Life Podcast and I'm in love! I ordered a Commonplace book and I can't wait. The categories on the list are things I want to read, but am intimidated by. So I'm hoping having the guidance from the Podcast and knowing other people are joining will help me.

Ahem. Isn't there a rule about talking about how great something turned out and not sharing the recipe. 😉 I've been gluten free for a long time and can't remember the last time I had a good cinnamon roll.
Not that I bake... But dh bakes. And he loves me. And it's Christmas. 🙂
Here it is: https://40aprons.com/gluten-free-cinnamon-rolls-cinnabon/
I used the Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF flour and I made the recipe exactly as written!!!!!

I made GF cinnamon rolls today and they were so great! I have tried so many recipes in the last 5 years I've been GF and nothing was what I was hoping for. But the ones I made today are perfect!!!!
Also, I had every single thing wrapped BEFORE Christmas Eve!!!!

Over the summer, I started getting super-tired every day, as in bone-weary, can't function tired every afternoon. I have a history of Anxiety, and I thought I was adding Depression to the mix (because 2020). I was also having so much trouble focusing on anything - I thought that was Depression as well. I made an appt with my doctor (new PCP, who I didn't love, but my previous one left medicine and I needed someone quick so that I can continue to get all my meds refilled). Anyway, she ran some labs - everything was normal, except the iron. My Iron Saturation was 11 (15-55 is the lab range). Doc's office calls, says that is the reason for the tiredness, recommends an OTC Iron supplement and re-run labs in 3 months. Also important - I haven't had a cycle in over 10 years, due to a Pituitary gland problem.
Meanwhile, I also go see my GI doctor, because I have bleeding hemorrhoids (Isn't getting older FUN????). GI decides to do a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy since I have a history of GERD, just to make sure there isn't anything going on that would be causing internal blood loss. Those procedures are 100% normal.
I had to go off the Iron supplement for 5 days before the Colonoscopy. Sure enough, the tiredness is back.
I guess my question is - Does this all sound right? I've never had low iron before. Can I have low Iron without being Anemic? I can provide more lab results if that would be helpful.
Thank you!!!!

Don't even think twice about it. DO. IT.
I've been getting the lunches for my kids. My kids are homeschooled, but the district has made it clear that the lunches are for ALL kids. When I was going through a depressive episode a couple of months ago, picking up the lunches helped so much.
DO IT.

My friend is a IEA coach and they did do some competing. This year has been so hard on her and her business due to shut downs, ever changing rules, etc. ......so we get away and go hiking.
We were all set to get started, but our state just went back to a limit of 25 people for indoor and outdoor events.

Thank you! DD12 was supposed to compete on an IEA team this year, but ..... COVID. This subscription may be a great gift for her!!!

I am so sorry. I will definitely pray for Ri and for all of you.

Vitamins, Cat food, cat litter, and contacts for me are what I have stocked up on lately.
Things I will probably start stocking up on:
Toilet paper, Disinfecting wipes, jars of marinara sauce, meat for the freezer (we don't have a ton of freezer space, though), snacks for the kids, and I always stock up on the sodas everyone likes when they are on sale.

I have a Micke and love it. But I am a fairly small adult. It wouldn't work for someone over 5'6", I'd say. The top is fairly small, also. It's really not quite enough space for me, but we have a weird-shaped room, so we had to get something small to squeeze in.

All right, I'll pick up some wet food to try. Can I do a combo? I mean, I know I have to gradually change the food over. Could we work towards wet food only first thing in the morning and then a mix of wet and dry the rest of the day?
I've never used wet food, so I don't really know how it works!!!

Just now, Paige said:
You could try switching to wet food if you haven't and give her a probiotic supplement like FortiFlora, but there's plenty of options. My foster cat had some vomiting issues and the fortiflora helped a lot. I use it because it's given to me by the rescue but I gave my own cat a different kind. Does she have any diarrhea?
No diarrhea. I haaaaate wet food, but at this point, I'm willing to try anything. Also, we have another cat, so whatever we do for one, we pretty much have to do for the other.

Background: 5 year old indoor short-hair cat. She has always been a vomiter. We have done the slow feeding mat (which I learned about here), she gets 6 small meals a day, changed foods (probably 6 different dry foods, including 2 prescription ones), done bloodwork (normal), and done a fecal exam (normal).
She still vomits - most of the time, it's right after she eats her first meal of the day, no matter how small that meal is.
What else can we try? I am so over cleaning up cat puke.

We have one from Champion and it's been fine. We live in a hurricane area, so we wanted to have one. We have only used it a couple of times, but it's been pretty straightforward to use.

When SWB posted that article the other day, it really helped me put into words how I've been feeling lately. I have always struggled with anxiety, but now I think I'm adding depression into the mix. DH and I talked today and we have some really practical plans to hopefully help me navigate this.

We really like the ones from Old Navy. I wash them in the washing machine, and air dry them.
