It rained all day long. I just wanted to crawl back into bed, put on warm cozy clothes, and binge watch netflix. Seriously, I did.
But alas, I got some things done.The TV stayed off.
I didn't do much cleaning per-say, but I deep cleaned one bathroom drawer. It holds most of the medical supplies, bandages, gauze etc. It was a mess I tell ya'. Only one drawer left to clean now.
The rest of the day was pretty much fun stuff. Low key, and relaxing. I vacuumed, and did other mundane chores, but was limited to some due to finger injuries.
By the way, after putting a plantain poultice on the tips of those two blistered and bruised fingers, it's much better today (but still tender to use). The swelling reduced a lot.
Although my sage supply runneth low, I used some (amongst other herbs, spices) to make my first "Four Thieves Vinegar (Rosemary Gladstar recipe). It'll be done in 4 weeks.
I also refilled my lavender antiseptic and calming spritzer bottle. Also a Gladstar recipe.
And, because someone was trying to convince me to make biscuits and gravy the other day (after a long outdoor work day), for dinner....I did. Just a different day when I was not worn out.
As for "ill" daughter, I made her a hot cup of mullein tea and put fresh ginger root on the shopping list.
Hope she feels better soon. I am so impressed by your natural remedies I have started to do a little research for myself, you are an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThat photograph of the tree is just beautiful! Even when you have a so-called 'down' day, you do about three times as much as anyone else!
ReplyDeletemamasmercantile, we love homemade ginger-ale even when we are not sick. So healthy too. I keep mullein in the house too, for tea. I am about out of my mullein tincture though.
ReplyDeleteSusan, I felt sort of guilty for not doing much of the housework, but my fingers were still a bit sore. The sun shining on that tree was just beautiful. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of the tree! I hope daughter feels better soon. The biscuits and gravy sounds and looks good!
ReplyDeleteSam I Am, thanks. The sausage I make is so good too.
