Check out my website:
Well, I've gotten through today in one piece. James and I puttered around, went to the mall, went to lunch, and didn't really do anything of major interest. I haven't spent the day thinking about my dad. I am still in that blah mode, that overall sadness mode, butI haven't been dwelling on the fact that this would have been his 46th birthday. Mostly , every once and a while, when we are driving in the car, or eating, or I am laying down and reading, I will look up and suddenly remember, "Oh yeah, its the 30th."
Gah. I have been plagued with headache for most of the afternoon. A stubborn, hammering right above my left eye. I tried tylenol, a nap, food, nothing helps. I am going to try a little lavender oil on my pulse points next.
I love herbal remedies. I would love to someday become a competent herbalist. A green witch, or what have you. Most of the books I buy now deal with herbal magick, or gardening, or cooking. I would love to someday be able to walk through the woods and have the ability to know what each plant, leaf, flower and weed could be used for.
I think it would be lovely to have an herbal first aid kit.
I am learning, I know the basics, I know what to do for a bruise, for a scratch, for a sprain. But I'd like to learn more. I would love to make my own salves, tinctures, and poultices.
I make the most delicious smelling massage and bath and altar oils. I tried to fashion some soap, but that ended badly!
I bought some glycerine, and I think I will try it again.
Maybe it would be nice to post the recipes I try out out here. That might be nice!
Things you can only learn from movies and television...
If I see one more little winky...
