Spending Sprees

[juldea]

I bought the pants. And a Gameboy Color (teal) and a copy of Pokemon Yellow. I kind of found out I had a surplus of money. ;)

I'm really worried about this sleep thing. I can either find some way to fight it, or give up on exercising (waking up early) and going to class (one more week) and doing anything at all after working at the lab. But it's sad that for some reason, starting last week, 7 hours of sleep leaves me unable to stand up from exhaustion. I was doing fine before then... and I don't think it's linked in any way to Jason's leaving. I don't think it's depression-related because I don't feel emotionally or mentally depressed. I'm fairly positive that even without my computer's food database I had going, I'm still eating 1200 calories a day (in fact I think I'm eating more), which is what I've been doing for the past 2 months with no effect. I don't mind going to class, in fact, I like going there because I like what I'm studying right now. So someone please tell me what's wrong??

*sigh*

In other news, I'm wearing a skirt today. But I think I'll change into jeans to go to the lab. I hate being cold.

And I want Chinese food.

or you could be pregnant. i can't remember the last time 7 hours of sleep was enough for me. it was definitely not within the last 8 weeks.

probably not a problem for you, but another thing that *could* cause it is insufficient protein. goldbug's idea of a multivitamin is a good one, too.

speaking of multivitamins, i hope you are taking some for the baby...and it just occurred to me that people give their kids multivitamins, and thus i wondered if some people give their pets multivitamins? i know lots of pets get pills, and i'm sure they don't need extra vitamin pills because they should get a balanced diet in their food, but i can really see pet vitamins as something marketed to rich people who want their pets to have the very best.

oh ugh, yes, i'm taking my vitamins. not every day, i must admit, but most days. they make me feel even sicker.

there's a great conspiracy out there to keep pregnant women as sick and useless as possible. prenatal vitamins are known for 2 major side effects: nausea and constipation. 2 of the most unpleasant symptoms of early pregnancy (even without the vitamins) are nausea and constipation. harrumph. they want the best for my baby? why not give me vitamins in an easy to digest, good tasting, non-nausea-inducing formula? like flintstones vitamins... or those smurf vitamins! we only got them once, but i remember them still... yum.

anyway, that was a big rambly. i'm sure pets who eat regular pet food don't need vitamins... but, like everything else, i'm sure they're out there for people who have the money to buy them.

Heh. I'm not pregnant :) And yes, I know. (Not going into details here for Randen's benefit, grin)

Nod, protein isn't a problem for me, every day I either have some meat of some kind or tuna or a veggie hamburger/hot dog...

Maybe iron?

[ex-dervish821.livejournal.com]

yeah, iron's a good possibility. most women's multivitamins have a lot of iron in them. :)

Yeah, I checked this morning and my multivitamin has 150% DV of iron... And I think slimfast shakes have some in them too, so I don't think it's a deficiency in that.
