She eats better than most people she knows — salads, smoothies, she gave up soda years ago. She walks. She sleeps seven hours, sometimes eight. And by three in the afternoon she is so tired she could put her head down on the kitchen table and not get up. She’s had the bloodwork. Thyroid came back normal. Iron was fine.

Vegetables don’t always have to arrive in the lunch box as carrot sticks and cucumber rounds.
