Tamsin made a nice post for people to ask for/post cute/happy animal pictures etc and I was reminded that not everyone outside Australia has heard of tawny frogmouths, which are very cute weird muppety looking native birds. Another very cute local animal is the quokka, which looks like if a capybara was a jovial marsupial hobbit.

Did you know that many vitamin C tablets contain citrus? Specifically, the Blackmores Bio C tablets I've been taking for at least a year?

In retrospect it's pretty obvious but it simply hadn't occurred to me to check until lilysea brought it up as a personal frustration. I switched to Swisse High Strength C, which is just vitamin C, and lo! All the weird little extra skin issues I developed a year or so ago have largely healed up! Luckily Cam is not intolerant to citrus and had been looking for a vitamin C tablet which doesn't have any sweeteners so I didn't have to throw out the old ones.

Normally I put this sort of thing on my health filter but maybe someone else out there is intolerant to citrus, takes vitamin C tablets, and never thought to check the ingredients of those tablets. Or maybe it's just me >.>

Also, thanks lilysea, you rock :)

I really don't want to jinx it, so I won't say I'm better, but even if this is a temporary reprieve it feels pretty good!

Can't be bothered making a separate post for the health filter, so here's all the boring details.

Ugh! I am tired and sore from going to the doctor and STRESSED not knowing for sure if this med I NEED TO FUNCTION will be taken away for NO GOOD REASON. So this may not very coherent.

Overall the con was pretty good, as far as I can tell based on what I saw around naps.
