Does electric make sense yet when you drive such long distances? My parents got a Kia Niro a couple of years ago but they'd been putting it off for quite a while at that point just because the real-world driving distance on a full charge wasn't enough to drive to my sister and back yet. Packing an extra battery isn't as easy as having an emergency canister of fuel in the back.
The electric car has a range of around 400 km which is fine for around town and for hubby driving into work and back. For long drives we will still have my diesel car. nothing is settled yet, holding off till we find out if he gets his promotion next week.
continuing to chug along slowly, nothing surprising in Nutrition. had a closed book practice exam for neurophysiology and nailed it with 100%. It has been a long time since I last had to sit a closed book exam, the mid semester exam is closed book in my tutorial time slot.
Recieved an initation today to appply for the undergraduate research fellowship due to my higher than 5.0 GPA which would involve joining a research team for 12 weeks and a scholarship.

finally had a consult with my GP for my knee which is giving me grief again with extras (Pain under Goose foot). referal for xray, ultrasound, surgeon and MRI. I know my Dr hates refering out to surgeons or as he calls the butchers so for him to refer out is an indicator he cannot help. This knee has been bad since the 80s, had surgery in the 90s and what seems like and endless cycle of injections, rehab, injury preventions no matter how much work gets put into it. I know that I don't have much MCL left, I looked back at the report from my last round of scans etc. showing Pellegrini-Stieda lesions among the rest of it. conservitive treatment over the last 35 years has not worked.
To top it all off getting a knee support that fits is near imposible, I may need to order some powerlifting sleeves so that they are big enough not to cut circulation in my quads and calves

Oh, congratulations, Tru. This is a huge achievement!
You're right there! I gave up on finding one. That's why I ended up buying a golf cart.
lots of brain fog this week, fighting off the flu that is going around.
put some corned beef in the crockpot a couple of hours ago, should be cooked tonight, I don't think I have been getting enough salt in my diet. When you don't eat much processed food and don't normally add salt to food it means I need to make an actual effort to meet minimum salt intake.

I hope you can keep the flu at bay, Tru. I love corned beef
First time giving it to little miss, I opened a bottomless pit, she seemed to inhale seconds. There will be leftovers to have some cold in her school lunchbox tomorrow.
I miss having white sauce with it but that is the joy of allergies.

I can picture little miss wolfing down corned beef. Yum! At least corned beef seems to be something we can buy relatively inexpensively. Cold corned beef in her lunchbox sounds good. What part of white sauce can't you have, Tru? G always makes ours with GF flour & either skim milk or almond milk.
A lot of gluten free stuff still contains wheat so it is a case of simply not taking chances. Some of the additive used to replace the gluten are derived from wheat for example xanthan gum is made from fermenting sugars and bacteria, the sugars used are usually from wheat. The same for ingredients collectively labeled as vegetable gum or vegetable starch. Maltodextrin, most yeast and a whole lot of other stuff is also derived from wheat.
Xanthan gum is a common ingredient in gluten free flour.
unfortunately gluten is only a single protein and is relatively easy to process out, but all the other proteins and starches that make up wheat are still there after processing. So long as gluten levels are below 20ppm they do not need to label wheat in the ingredients list.
Gluten for me is not a problem, I can have other grains containing gluten but it is rare to find other grain products that do not also contain wheat or are cross contaminated with wheat. I love rye but I am yet to find a rye bread that is not made from wheat with a bit of rye added.

There has been a lot of kids sick at the school little miss attends

Well done, Tru. My late BIL was a Neurophysiologist. That man was so smart but also able to explain anything to me without me feeling stupid. What a complex subject. 69% sounds like a good mark for something so hard. Your getting 90% on nutrition doesn't surprise me an iota either! You're one smart cookie 
I fell down the rabbit hole this afternoon trying to study. I have never been able to visualise stuff in any way and it was frustrating because I know visualising helps with committing info to memory. I cannot even visualise my deceased mother or my kids. Today I found out this has a name - Aphantasia.
I always thought when people would say to see something in your mind that it was metaphorical but people can actually see images in their mind is something completely foreign to me. I conceptualise information but I cannot visualise.
D is the same, there seems to be a link between ASD and ADHD with Aphantasia but supposedly only happens in 3% of the population. on the up side studies show people with it have a higher IQ on average and it provides some protection from visual trauma and PTSD.
I need to stay out of rabbit holes because I get nothing done and knowing the name of something I have experienced my whole life won't change anything.
The joys of neuro-divergent brains.
