“You know I’m really seeing a huge difference in how I feel” my husband says two weeks into the magnesium regimen while I prepare his dinner plate.

“Placebo effect” I mutter.

“Anyway I found another bunch of lectures to listen to.”

“Yes?”

This isn’t happening! Before I know it we’ll need another closet to store all those vitamins! Maybe I need to apply for a second job to support this new vitamin hobby? 

“It’s really fascinating.”

I haven’t seen my husband this animated since who- knows -when.
