I just placed an order through Vitamin Aisle (see above link).  You see, this morning was rough going for me.  I was still a little sleepy, not to mention...I'm somewhat clumsy...and I dropped my bottle of Iron juuuuust right, causing the bottle to shatter on my tile counter.  Shards of glass everywhere, mixed in with my iron capsules. 

*blink-blink-blink*

My eyes were still trying to focus (LASIK is awesome, but first thing in the morning is always a bit of a blur) and I had to deal with this mess, not to mention the dogs were all around waiting for me to do something that would interest them.  Like putting food in a bowl.  I did my best with the mess and avoided cutting up my hand in the process.  HOWEVER, I am now out of iron.  I wasn't willing to risk using what didn't spill into the sink, for fear of glass going down my throat, causing internal bleeding...trauma to my esophogus...ripping my gut into a bloody mess.  Okay.  A little over dramatic, but it was early and I had to make a decision.  Tossed it all.

On the same topic of iron, I've noticed that my lips have been unbearably chapped as of late.  When I went to my trusty Google, I discovered that an iron deficiency can cause chapping.  Well great.  I'm deficiant and I'm out of my supplement.  My lips are sure to fall off.

So let's just see how fast this shipment gets here to me.  While I was there, I ordered some vitamin C, to help absorb the iron...and some xylitol sweetener for baking.  The boyfriend has been eating packaged sugar-free cookies.  Ack.  Not ack to the sugar-free part, but ack to the packaged cookie part.  That will be a later post...trying to bake a sugar-free tasty cookie.
