They say that the really hot and humid days at the end of July and first part of August are called the “Dog Days.” I think that is because on really hot days, the dogs all just lay out and don’t do much except pant with their tongues. That’s about all I fell like doing today, too. When the temperatures are in the 90’s, there’s no breeze, and the humidity feels like your bathroom after you step out of the shower – those are dog days, in my book.
Women and Calcium
My mother has just been diagnosed with Osteoporosis and she is now in turn on me about getting extra calcium in to my system before I turn around and find myself in the same boat as her. This health issue does run in the family and I am a prime candidate for this on many counts.
She is going to start taking Boniva and drowning herself with calcium supplements in order to put a stop (hopefully) to this before it gets too far and I suppose I should start looking into some calcium supplements myself.
Possibly a New Year’s Resolution to act on.
