halitosis

...is apparently a side effect of pregnancy.

Who knew?

I feel for my students the most!

This means one of two things: I'm short on calcium or I'm short on water.  or both.

Unless, of course, brushing after meals is not enough for basic hygiene.

I found out that cheese, not milk, has some of the largest sources of calcium.

Esp. parmesan---whoah...my fave cheese too!! (aside from feta, which i'm not allowed to eat right now...)

Here's to hoping dairy isn't too far gone out of my system--i won't be lactose intolerant (I've haven't cut out dairy completely), but I still feel the affects when I'm back in the States and eating healthy portions of it...
