the fireworks were beautiful tonight, and so was the company. it was fun, as we walked downtown we met up with more and more people we knew until we'd grown into a massive posse. it's always neat on canada day in kingston after the fireworks, there's one huge exodus unlike any other event in this city.
it's been a nice first of july.
earlier this evening matt, cas, shan and i went to donate blood. however, all three of us girls were disqualified because our iron was low. it was disappointing. they gave us a list of foods that contain more iron so we can increase our in take. it makes me wonder if that's why i've been having such a hard time getting out of bed in the mornings.
i love commiserating. we have each other, although it's not enough, it's good enough for now.
i find the people setting off fire crackers at the m centre across the street disconcerting. they sound too close. and i'm phobic.
i'm SO close, yet so far away.
i'd share a life and you'd share a life.

Did they tell you your iron #? Mine was 39. I think normal starts at 40. Let me know if you come up with any good iron boosting ideas!
My Canada Day present was someone screaming in the road at 4am. Nice.
your iron scale seems to be different than what they used.
i was 11.4 and we needed to be 12.5.
what do you suggest? although, i won't be able to give blood for a while. it would still be good to increase my iron.
if you take iron supplements it is good to drink orange juice with it, it helps absorb it more, thus increasing your body's intake of iron, plus pineapple juice is a good source of iron, also these: cooked spinach, beans, eggs, nuts, fortified breads,they are all high sources, as well as liver, seafood, fish, lean meat,lentils and poultry. Also dried fruit like prunes and raisins, also the one I laughed about was black strap molasses!
Hope this helps all of ya! LOL!
Leave it to me to write a book!
