My Precious Scars
For lack of a better, more all-encompassing word, I suppose you could call me a klutz. I have memorized the symptoms of a concussion, which let me tell you, is a lot more impressive if you know how many concussions I’ve had. I can easily tell you what pain medications you can and cannot combine, to the point that I’ve had friends shoot me a text to make sure they’re safe to overlap tylenol and motrin. My phone now automatically joins every urgent care wifi network in the greater Lansing area, and I have enough splints and braces piled up to last a lifetime, despite the fact that literally a year and a half ago I tossed out over 50% of the collection I had. And just like the crotchety old man yelling at kids to get off his lawn in a movie, I can tell you if it’s going to rain without fail thanks to at least seven different aching spots on my person at any given time. I’ve joked that I’m trying to get exposed to enough radiation to develop superpowers, because how cool would invisibility be, right? Or that I’m just trying to become the strongest (what doesn’t kill you is supposed to make you stronger, according to Kanye West and Kelly Clarkson), and that my “bad” luck of being accident prone actually just means that I have the really really good luck of, you know, still being alive.

When searching through these sites, make sure you check for the Home Information Pack (HIP).

What is the Sunshine Vitamin?
“Some people are so much sunshine to the square inch.” Walt Whitman Welcome to Autumn! Day-time gets shorter as night-time becomes longer. The sun went down today at 7pm. People are already wearing layers and boots. Cooler evenings are coming. The winter is when the human body is most likely deprived of sunlight, not just the ordinary sunlight but the UV light that plays a vital role in body functions. Sunlight shines on your skin and creates Vitamin D. Just as plants need sunshine for photosynthesis, humans need sunshine for so many body functions.

Simple Tips to Build Muscle Mass
Whether your ambition is to be a professional bodybuilder, elite athlete, or just to become functionally stronger, your training goal is to build muscle mass. It sounds simple: lift weights and you’ll get bigger, right? Consider this: people whose training goal is to lose weight or tone up don’t have a single, straight-line path to do that, do they? Everyone’s body is different. Even within the three basic body types, genetic variables play into what exercises work for them. For example, what works for people descended from ancestors who survived in mountainous regions of eastern Europe, won’t work for people whose bloodline comes from the Mediterranean coast or central Africa. While there is no universal recipe to build muscle mass, there are a few proven fundamentals that should at least help you on your journey.
