Greetings from Johnston, South Cackalacky!

Things are pretty slow down here...driving, talking, service...

But that gives everyone an opportunity to visit and catch up. And gossip, too.  Lots of gossip. About people you don't know and, based upon the gossip, hope never to encounter.

I'm "having" my taxes done by an accountant.  My first time ever having my taxes done. It's too leisurely for words.

The peach trees have already bloomed and hopes are high for a great peach season. Everything greened and bloomed early this year, but so far so good.  No major freezes yet.  If we get a hard freeze, the crops will be ruined.  Eyes crossed for no ruination.

Am desperately trying to keep up with the rest of the world, but it seems pointless at times.  The world seldom touches Johnston.  Reality certainly doesn't as everyone (practically) watches Fox News.  My uncle watches little else.  He considers himself terribly well-informed.  I've mentioned in his presence that any Fox News information is highly susceptible to false/fake news, but he doesn't seem to hear me.

Ah, well.

There is so much food around here.  My mother is Grinch-plus about having fried foods and sweets. She craves vegetables. Vegetables, vegetables,vegetables.  Still, I do indulge when caramel cake is in the offing.

Happy Birthday to everyone whose birthdays I may have missed. My intentions are good, but I spend most of my online time on my phone, and this site is very difficult to read/post to on that little screen.

Excuses, excuses.  I know. 

Am going to spend more time at my laptop every day, so hopefully I won't be as remiss as I have been.

Happy Tuesday to everyone.  Get your taxes done if you haven't already.

Well, perhaps last night's e-mail was just silly, but it did give me hope for a little miracle.  I called the e-mailer as soon as I saw it, left a message, but have heard squat, and my feeling is if someone is serious about something they get back to you right away.  I left one more message on voice mail and sent one additional e-mail response, basically saying "Ball - court - yours."

Vixmom, vitamin B12 is often recommended to vegetarians, as it's difficult to obtain enough of it solely from vegetable sources. Some doctors give it by injection to those wishing more energy. But, actually, all the B vitamins are helpful for energy and all are depleted by stress. I think taking B complex is a better choice.

There are many on the market. I like Life Extension's Complete B Complex. It's a good product and at $8 (with member's discount) is a very good value. I also like Rainbow Light's two B complex products: Energy B Complex and Complete B Complex. They're more expensive, but both contain additional nutrients. If more energy is your concern, try the Energy B Complex.

B vitamins are water-soluble. They are used immediately by the body--not stored--and any excess is excreted in the urine, so taking too much isn't likely. That also means they're needed daily.

Whole grains are a good source of B vitamins.

Today was another Dental Day for me. Three hours in the dental chair. Aside from having to return in 3 weeks for my two new crowns, the second root canal is now done. Yay! I stopped at the little bakery for a couple of their mini pies, but am still too numb to eat.

Yay!  Now quick healing vibes!

thanks, Jane.

Vixmom, vitamin B12 is often recommended to vegetarians, as it's difficult to obtain enough of it solely from vegetable sources. Some doctors give it by injection to those wishing more energy. But, actually, all the B vitamins are helpful for energy and all are depleted by stress. I think taking B complex is a better choice.

There are many on the market. I like Life Extension's Complete B Complex. It's a good product and at $8 (with member's discount) is a very good value. I also like Rainbow Light's two B complex products: Energy B Complex and Complete B Complex. They're more expensive, but both contain additional nutrients. If more energy is your concern, try the Energy B Complex.

B vitamins are water-soluble. They are used immediately by the body--not stored--and any excess is excreted in the urine, so taking too much isn't likely. That also means they're needed daily.

Whole grains are a good source of B vitamins.

If exercising/perspiring, I suggest taking them after vs before.

You can request your doctor check your vitamin B levels.

Thank you .  I have been seeing online articles (so heaven knows how reliable those are) listing a series of issues that be caused by lack of B12.... Coincidently I have been experiencing all of the listed issues

Today was a beautiful spring day and fortunately I was able to get out for a couple of nice walks.  I did about 4 miles this morning after Keith dropped me off downtown to pick up my contacts.  He waited to keep them in the car so I could walk home with my hands free.

In the afternoon we went for another 4+ mile walk.

I am reading incredibly slow these days, at least for the last 3 books anyway.  Three days of reading my current book and I am only 60% through it, plus I am anxious to read GEE and would gladly switch books.  I have one problem though, I am waiting for my Monday book discussion book to check out from the eBook library.  I am next in the queue.  It is over 400 pages and I need to get started on it yet I am so close to checking it out I hate to buy it.

After a grueling/Vixmom-like day of work today, i finally made it to Joy's house. If I had been 10 minutes earlier, I couldn't have made it to her house. Her husband told me that the next door neighbor found an unknown package on the doorstep and the police blocked off the area for three hours. It wasn't anything, but it was scary.

I don't recall ever noticing that happen before.

The Schertz bombing is within five miles. It's where I get FedEx packages sometimes.

My friend Deborah in Austin has been within one mile of two separate bombings. That kinda freaks me out.

My concentration has been off and I have been half sleeping vs reading.  I had expected to begin it on the flight home from Vegas and would have if the bumpy flight had not made me airsick.
