| Chamomile Update! |
[Apr. 10th, 2012|05:12 am] |
A strong brew of chamomile really helps congestion! I had a client this week with congestion, unsure if due to seasonal allergies, or whether she was coming down with a cold. Prescribed inhaling the steam from strong brewed chamomile tea, that is, three teabags in one cup of hot water. Two days later she came back for a sinus drainage massage, but told me that she was much improved after the chamomile steam. Feedback is love, isn't it?

newer post!
waiting for awesomest awesome layered lasagna to be cooked. its teasing me with its aroma.
we usually make our own sauce from tomato paste. usually D makes it. this time i did, a bit nervously, since its been a long while since i made successful sauce. D tasted it and pronounced it better than his! yay! woot woot!
feeling successful :) |

posting! i dunno why. seems kind of a silly thing to do. but here's to moving back away from fb.
my apartment has gas! and D made his signature stir fry again for the first time in months. it was extremely nostalgic.
now we can make lots of soups and yum stuff, just in time for winter.
oh, and the gas company? i called yesterday at around 3 pm. i was immediately given the tech's name and number, with the mention of the next day being a good day to have him come. i was shocked, since when do things get done next day? then i called the tech, and he was like, meh, i'll be really busy then, why don't i just stop by in an hour? so he did. and was really really nice, and joked with us, and was totally cool with us ogling his work over his shoulder and asking questions and stuff. and he gave us lots of advice. and he needed a drill and i was like, hey, dont bother going back out to your truck, we've got one here! and he commented about how new it is :D
happy stove dance, lets set something on fire! |

just made deep fried okonomiyaki. accidentally. ugh, too much oil
post-eating: correction, oil, yum. although i will probably regret it in a few hours
(and i could always harrass myself about how its fried, and cabbage is a goiterogen and bad for thyroid issues, and was fried in refined oil... but i wont)
also, i seem incapable of making a decent okonomiyaki that stays together. i mostly get fried, crumbly bits. which are still yum, but...
in other news, yay i gave two reflexology sessions within 24 hours! hopefully i can continue with them and get full reports for the year. anybody who knows anybody who wants anything worked on, let me know and ill see if i can schedule something :)
same goes for aromatherapy (singsong) which i love. and am already using to treat myself and others, and awesomesauce. still wondering if i want to do higher level certification for aromatherapy, above what im going to have whenever this course ends :)
today sums up as: COLD with a spray of dirty wind in my eye. |

right. so no one uses lj anymore due to fb. makes sense.
anyway, i still get to blog here about random crap i dont want on fb :)
going to ICon tomorrow. 3/4 done with costumes. and they are AWESOME if hot for the weather. that cant be helped. they are by no means perfect, but i guess thats why im a recreational costumer and not hired by some repair or bridal place. oh god and im going to be soooo hot! im wearing two layers plus a two layer cape PLUS a wig! (if i can find one)
right.
i guess im not all into that beauty is pain as far as female attire goes, but as far as costumes go, ill chance heatstroke. for all the fun im having, though, i wish i were done with making them. my own fault/procrastination.
i feel bad for our guest next door - my sewing machine is probably disturbing. especially since its 1:45 am.
i have no idea how loud it sounds from outside my room.
what else... oh, my room smells weird. my mattresses smell weird. there was a bedbug looking stain on one mattress, but i highly doubt its still infested: its been left alone for a really long time. but it looked gross, so i scrubbed it with some shampoo and water. i may have used too much shampoo. it smells weird now. i hope i havent caused it to mildew now. cuz that would be just great....
in any case, i decided im ordering hypoallergenic/bedbug mattress covers. that way my mattresses can be covered and look nice and stuff. and not smell weird and musty.
i want vacation. proper vacation. without having to worry about guests or sewing or papers or tests or school registration/school. to just chill with ppl i want to chill with, to watch b5, and to read.
ah well
life isnt that generous |

moving is crazy. also, landlords rescinding dates for being out of apt by. also, having a new apt without internet and with minimal cell reception in my room. i foresee my name being on the internet bill in the future, and i see a new phone with a better antenna in my future. recommendations welcomed! i only hope they wont be too expensive nor too far in the future. in the meantime, expect me when you see me, and hope to contact me somehow. also, if anyone is hanging around, bored, tomorrow, you can help me shlep 4 or 5 boxes a few blocks. and maybe go out for dinner afterwards :P |
