Today is the day before my iodine scan starts…I’ll get the tracer tomorrow and go back on Thursday for the actual scan. The closer it gets the more nervous I am, but I do have full confidence this will turn out ok.

On a happier note my mom and I will transplant my tomatoe and bell pepper plants to a bigger container until they can finally go in the ground a week or two. I’m so ready for gardening! I also ordered a savanna seed mix from Prairie Moon. I’m not a total tree-hugging hippy but I am very into organic food and minimal pesticide use. We even do “green” cleaning in the house with a lot of white vinegar, lemon, juice, and water.

To further that goal I’ve pulled out almost all of the English Ivy garden growing in our yard and I’m replacing the back area by the fence with an entirely native plant and flower seed mix made for a woodland area. I also ordered native plants from the local conservation society. Todd’s contributing by building me a bat house :) (seriously!).
