Feeling bad I am schlepping myself around with a stuffy nose, and cough, my husband ordered me to "rest." Ha! Well I am trying. It's definitely not hard to do today. We are getting more rain, which we greatly need, and it looks very stormy outside. The kind of weather you want to curl up with a book, and light a candle.
I'm living on ginger/lemon tea, doses of mullein tincture and what not. I normally drink a nettle tea concoction for allergies, but did not get started on that early enough apparently. The recent smoke haze in the air did not help either. The air is much better now.
I have been doing a ridiculous amount of internet surfing, working on a color scheme for the next blanket (to use up yarn in my stash). I guess you can call it a stash. It is really yarn that was leftover from other projects, which I over bought I believe. Anyway, the one color scheme I really like, involves (gulp) buying yarn of a color I am out of.
So...I've been doing more searching for a color scheme of which I already have. So far, nothing is coming to mind. A large blanket project won't be started on until cooler weather, so I have all summer to work on that. I still have the other blanket to finish as well.
Anywho, it is hard for me to "not" be busy, but I can write lists, meal plan, read a book, sit and shred paperwork, and do low-energy jobs around here. It definitely is something I have to teach myself - rest. Like I said, the rain is helping me with that today.
The herb garden is springing back to life, other than my green onion. I am hoping with today's rain it will. Yesterday I noticed all the seeds I planted are starting to come up thankfully - basil, cilantro, parsley and dill.
Now, to go find an unfinished eye pillow project I started several years ago....it's around here somewhere.
