I will take whatever vitamins I need to avoid feeling twitchy. I don&#8217;t like stitching acorn caps because getting the tension just so makes my hands feel twitchy and stressed. I will see if a little magnesium helps.  I am so excited. It is just thrilling to be so close to the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally here is a photo of my cats I took today.
