Found some wonderful Christmas planters at Costco for hostess gifts. I also got some vitamin D supplements so we can start taking them. The Canadian Cancer society is recommending 1000 iu daily dose for adults. Apparently daily multivitamins contain about 400 iu of vitamin D, so I'm letting the kids take the 400 iu size. Health Canada says it has to do more studies before it changes the existing 200 iu daily guidelines, but I guess we're getting an early start. Anything below 1000 iu is probably non-toxic. It seems a glass of fortified milk will give you 100iu of vitamin D.
I learned that an intensive care nurse makes around $40,000 a year. It sounds low considering
they do a lot of study/training for the job.
L attended her friend's violin concert last night after her tennis lesson. She said her friend looked so beautiful all dressed up on stage. It was great that a couple of friends could make it to see her perform. K was all candied out from a class party. At least 2 of the kids' teachers really liked the bead scarves we gave some of them. I was considering giving one teacher a gas card, then I found out after that he doesn't drive!
