Today, for the first time in the year+ since we've been talking again, I've honestly been happy to have had a conversation with my father.
Over the past year, I have been taken aback a few times by the health/nutritional advice he sometimes has for me, because it's so down to earth and scientifically based and stuff, which is the total opposite of my mom's fad obsessions.
But today, without any pause in the conversation, he told me why I've been feeling dizzy for the past two days - which is something that had been driving me batty not only because it makes functioning awkward, but because it was so persistent, un-explainable and un-fixable.
The answer is that I'm low on iron. And I'm almost shocked I didn't think of it myself, but also very grateful that he clued me in.
Today I also bought my kitty organic food - and she seems to like it!
She's been showing signs of distaste for her current food, as the bag of it got wet at some point, and probably made the food weird. I'd been trying to scoop from the side that didn't get wet, but apparently that wasn't good enough.
And I've been less then thrilled with how much filler her food had, and with the fact that the brand (even if it was the wet food variety) showed up on the pet food recall.
So now, if she continues to like it, ms. thing will be eating organix food.
Now I should figure out how to get more iron into my body without straying from the bland foods diet just yet.
