Met with PCP today. Confirmed that I have iron deficit along with low Vitamin D. Started an 8-week regimen (one pill per week) with 50,000(!!) units of the D supplement. Will also be taking an iron supplement (one a day at first then two a day) each day for about 10 weeks--then will get retested to see if it has helped restore my iron levels. If so, I will then drop back on dosage levels and maintain. Here's to more energy!

Watched a Sofia Coppola film tonight--Somewhere. An excellent movie. First 15 minutes has no dialog! Only action and slow action at that! The story is simple and nothing is done to make more so. She just followed the flow and let things unfold simply and clearly. The actor who plays the 11-year old daughter is luminous (Elle Fanning). The story sticks with me even though the DVD is back in its case.

I see the neurologist tomorrow. And will make it to the weight training class for sure (may make it late to PD dance). I'm reading a set of stories by Joyce Carol Oates--Corn Maiden. Oates is one heck of a writer! Weird but excitingly weird!
