I started taking magnesium two nights ago to combat, uh, some stuff I've got going on (I'll tell you if you ask, but I know some people don't want to read about my bodily problems and...I'm feeling too lazy for a cut at the moment). I decided to do it because the general consensus is that if you take calcium supplements, you should balance it out with magnesium. Anyway, I get a lot of calcium as it is, but I thought about checking out what problems could be caused by not getting enough magnesium.
Long story short:
~ depression
~ lack of energy
~ insomnia
~ period pains
~ muscle weakness
There's a whole bunch of other stuff as well, but that's what I can remember because it's most relevant to me. I don't know how much is the placebo effect (which a lot of it probably is, since like I say, tonight'll only be my third night on it), but already I feel better. Fingers crossed that it continues.
I also started taking folic acid again, because I'm supposed to anyway (my levels are low, which should tag me as being anaemic, but I'm actually not. Weird physiology for the win!) So hopefully that'll help with the energy levels, too.

I have also just registered to be recognised as being self-employed. It was scary - I've been putting it off for months, but it took less than five minutes. I didn't even have to give the HMRC that much information!
*phew*
Now I have to visit the job centre while I'm out tomorrow, and inform them of that (I don't know what they'll say about that but, eh, if I don't have to go there any more, that's fine by me. And then if I do go and tell them, they can't bitch that I didn't, blah blah blah).
(I know I actually talk more about video games than work, but on a scale of one to boring, video games are, to me, about a five, and work (yarnbending and so on) is past boring, and into Aztec hell.
On the other hand, if you want me to blah about it, I can do. Just don't expect me to provide pictures, since my track record of doing that is laughable*).

*I have SO MANYFEELINGS crappy (and not so crappy) screencaps from stuff I've played that I meant to upload at the time, but some of it isn't relevant now. Maybe I should make an amnesty post one day to bring us all up to date??
