Did I mention I've been sick? I've been sick. Just a cold, nothing serious, and now I'm getting better. I took huge doses of vitamin C, then read on the label that I shouldn't exceed the stated dose. Oops. So I got on the net and after trawling through hundreds of "spam" sites, finally found a list of the symptoms of vitamin C overdose: diarrhea, abdominal cramps, high stomach acid, increased urination, insomnia, irritability, joint pains, osteoporosis, headaches, hypoglycemia, weakness, reduced oestrogen, PMS, may increase infections by causing copper deficiency. Hmmm. Don't think so ... There was also a Dutch piece about the bossy old EU saying it was "probably" bad for your body to take too much vitamin C.
But I think the best therapy has been getting plenty of sleep -- thanks to my wonderful new bed. It really is fantastic.
The weather yesterday was conducive to staying indoors but of course being a dog-owner I was out there slogging around in the wind and rain. Later it hailed heavily and it snowed overnight too. Ugh. Today was sunny though, so Bertie got a longer walk.
Oh, I forgot to say that 3 January was my 10th anniversary at work! Of working full-time that is -- I was a casual for three years before that. By a marvellous coincidence, the company has brought in a scheme to reward long service -- starting 1 January! I get an extra day's holiday and ?200 worth of vouchers to spend at the high street store of my choice. Whee! I'm going to get a Palm Tungsten PDA. Ten years. Blimey, that flew by.
