Along with the other clothes confusion I always see muumuus and caftans used interchangeably even though I kind of know the difference. And I also end up gnashing my teeth everytime I see "moomoo" instead of muumuu.
Also in the decline of American literacy I'm seeing "nick nack" a lot more often. I think that just goes to show how little people read anything anymore.

Trudy I'm really sorry about your mom. She should totally get credit for 78 years.

Definitely check your Vitamin D. It makes a huge difference for me when it was really low and I started taking supplements.
Also B12. Especially if you are having any pins and needles feelings.

I have been taking vitamin D, because Seattle. I had run out and started back up maybe a month ago, and thought I was feeling better. My blood work was normal a month ago at the doctors, so I’m contemplating blaming allergies.
