I don't know what is up with me. I thought taking iron supplements was helping with my fatigue since yesterday was the first day in my memory for at least a month I didn't nap. I had recent blood tests showing I had extremely low iron (and this was in the middle of my menstrual cycle, like 2 weeks in, so I should have recovered from the iron loss due to bleeding.) Unfortunately, the best iron rich foods are liver, and my family hates that and I'm no good at cooking it. Only one of my grandmothers used to make good liver and onions, and she's passed away, so I can't get the recipe from her. But last night, OMG, I slept over 12 hours! Don't know what is up with that. I had been sleeping around 6.5 hr. per night before that. I feel like a truck ran me over this morning. My daughter just got up at 9 AM, maybe something is going around. Hubby is still asleep, but he has been having sinus issues and been overworked with the end of school especially since they put him on graduation duty. Plus, the heat of summer is already here. Sigh...I wanted to walk this morning, but now it's gotten sunny and warm. I like best to walk near dawn because it is cooler. Also, does anyone have psych meds that say you should stay out of the heat? It seems to me I have several unless 2 of those are the meds for fibromyalgia. Walking in the heat flares up the fibro anyway. I wish it would rain. I love the rain and could use a good summer morning reading a mystery inside while it rains outside. It hasn't rained here much lately, and usually, this is an area that gets a lot of afternoon rain in the late spring/early summer.

My daughter is already bored with school being out, and it's only been a week! Ugh! I'm going to have to arrange a playdate with one of her friends. Even though my daughter is very introverted, her 2 best friends are extreme extroverts, so it can be a lot to put up with. The one friend lost her dad suddenly a couple years ago to an aneurysm, so I hate to have to put the burden of watching my daughter on the mom. Her mother is a teacher though, so they should be home if they do not vacation this summer. I am going to check out some vacation Bible schools for my daughter, though they tend to meet in the evenings, not during the day.
