Iron supplements

Took off work early today. Made my 70 case base at about the same time the east coast was fading out. Good timing because I was hoping to accomplish both. 

Reason for taking off was because of a raging headache since I woke up. Motrin and Naprosyn didn't help at all. Then I realized why. I ran out of iron supplements a few days ago. I figured I could go for a week without it. Wrong!!

Right after getting off work, went to Walmart and bought enough iron to last about 6 months. Took some as soon as I got home.

From the symptoms I have when my iron is dropping, I suspect I may have had this problem a lot in my 20's. Body and joint aches, fatigue, poor memory, foggy thinking, headache that medication doesn't touch. Considering my poor diet through most of my 20's, it would fit. 

Because the testing for work is due to be finished next Tue, I figured I was one of the last people finishing. Turns out, I was one of the first 4 on my supervisor's team. 

My paycheck was close to what I had hoped it would be. Debated the issue of whether to order compost, then decided it's much better to wait. Going to pay extra on the mortgage. I did order new tines for the tiller. 

I had hoped to do the CV axle after work today but too much chance I wouldn't finish before dark or before having to pick daughter up in the morning. So, get that done early next week. 

Right now, going to go till some more. If I run out of energy or headache gets worse, can always just stop that. Since the well is working, been soaking the soil deeply to soften it up and bring it back to life for the year.
