…is finally getting some sleep. Now that I can take the anti-inflammatory, I have some hope this may get better. <\/p>\n
I also found, amid the knee pain, that I’d run myself short of minerals—the body seems apt to do that, when it’s stressed. Meds can do that. You can’t take, eg, magnesium near the thyroid med, and you can’t take this and you can’t take that. And once certain minerals deplete, nerves are flat shot and nothing works right. So I took this magic potion we have for just such an eventuality—E-Lyte, a liquid of which you take a capful in water, and within the hour, frayed nerves began to be a lot, lot better. Jane nicely bought us a packet of vitamin-mineral stuff, and I have to get much more careful about taking it.<\/p>\n
One thing that makes restaurants fun—being a pretty fair cook, and using spices, I can pretty well taste a dish and tell you what’s in it. And Knockaderry had a real good barbecue sauce, prepared by a gal who I think is actually Mexican…mmm. The way we like it. Spicy, pretty hot. I think the salient extras are a combo of cayenne, chipotle, and jalapeno, atop the usual barbecue ingredients of tomato, salt, and molasses. We liked it so well, we bought some and took it home, so I get to play chemist and try to figure what else is there. Yum.<\/p>\n
Weather, from your almost-far-west weather, is scattered cloud and blue sky. But distinctly cooler. We’ve shifted the koi onto their coldweather diet of wheat germ kibble. And trees have begun to turn, not autumn red yet, but a few yellows.<\/p>\n
Winter is coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
