My weight has still been fluctuating by about 10 pounds. I will lose the 10 pounds just to gain it back in like a week and then lose it again. It’s starting to get really annoying! Of course, my exercise routine has been nonexistent. For the past month, I just cannot get back into the groove of exercising. I just feel extremely drained and stressed lately. Actually, I have always felt tired and worn out for as long as I can remember. I have iron deficiency anemia. Was born with it (even had to take liquid iron when I was younger and on prescription iron pills until I reached high school and refused to take them because they where staining my teeth yellow). According to my doctor, I am just a few steps above needing a blood transfusion. He informed me last year that if my iron drops any lower, he wants me in the hospital to monitor me. They (actually the head nurse who is amazing) figured out that my body was not holding on to the iron and after extensive blood work discovered that my iron reserve was empty. I have been taking over the counter iron pills for the past week and half and I feel a little better but still tired. Since my body cannot hold the iron, I will only see the effect for a short period during the day. I see many young adults in their rocawear jeans walking around the mall and they seem so full of energy. I just wish I had an ounce of that energy. I would love the wake up feeling refreshed and having energy throughout the day.

In my work as a freelance writer, I write a lot of cleaning articles. Mainly because that is an area that I know a lot about. Thanks to my Mom, Grandma and my years of being a housekeeper, I have a mind full of cleaning knowledge that most people look down on me for. That is until they need to know how to get ink out of their leather handbag. Anywho, I have written many articles about the benefits of a dehumidifier including reducing the amount of mold spores and dust mites in the air. However, I myself have never owned a dehumidifier and am looking to purchase one. Anybody want to recommend a make and model that they like?

October has started out kinda crappy. The last few days it has been extremely cold, rainy and just a downright dreary day. The sun has not been out for more than a few minutes if even that. For those of you in my area wanting a tan (I like being pale) looks like you are going to have to use indoor tanning lotion because the sun just does not want to make an appearance. My Halloween plans look like they are going to bust. It is getting rather pathetic that I make these plans to have some fun and life comes along and tells me “Sorry sweetie, you cannot have any fun or happiness.” Sometimes, I just want to kick life in the freaking face! Money is a major issue for having to scrape my Halloween plans. Things arise that I am going to be force to pay for even though I should not be. What the hell ever happened to Karma or the golden rule?
