Things Go Better With Iron, Apparently

Yesterday I got my final iron infusion. I was talking to the nurse about how my mental health seems better since I started the infusions. He said he hadn't heard that there was a connection between the two, and was curious about it based on what he knows professionally. So I tapped out a google search with my *right* hand and he and I discovered that there is totally a connection.

Iron helps you metabolize dopamine and serotonin. That's all you have to tell me. And him, too!

This has been a public service announcement by mrsguy.

Some pretty things from this week:

The last orchids from the front yard, plus some clippings of a plant whose name I do not know. I have been growing this in two big pots on the front walk, and they get shaggy and woody and I've wanted to buy more of them but don't know what they are. A month ago I experimented with rooting them and it's INSANE how quickly they root. Today I am going to try planting some in the garden to see what happens.
