A Sniffle and a Blog

Currently brewing: Linden Flower Tea (from Cornelia Bean...I absolutely LOVE it), and it will be served in one of my mugs that I inherited from my aunt, there are 4 handmade mugs that are delightful with a blue flowers sort of water painted on...hard to explain I guess). It's been a while, so I forget the rules. I believe I am to drink something hot, describe the mug, include a picture, and I had a 2 day deadline to write the next post...which, I failed at. I'm sorry. Things that are new? Not a whole lot. There are leaves appearing on trees. The sun is up longer. I am outside more. I've taken to 10k strolls, or 5k strolls if time is crunched. (Today I took my first 5k walk where I was able to walk up the stairs without being overly winded after...perhaps I am on the mend!) Quite nice really, although I noted today that those black and green worms that hang out of the elms are back. I didn't have to deal with them last year as I left before they came out, and returned once they were gone. I had this lovely box of Kleenex, and I used it all up, and I am incredibly disappointed because it was quite a nice box. I shall have to keep my eye out for another one like it. Did I tell you how angry I was at my Dr? I was so angry when she gave me the antibiotics, I almost didn't take them, but I knew she wouldn't do anything else for me if I didn't. So, I then brought up that the other pills she had me on made me irritable and cry a lot, and she said to take them for one more month, and so I bought magnesium supplements to take so that I am not irritable and hysterical (because I had heard from someone that this significantly helped their daughter) and I have not felt irritable or hysterical since. It's quite a relief to know that I probably won't burst into tears when the pressure is on. My boss was very worried about me after one incident where I stood in her office door, said "I suck at nursing" and burst into tears. Quite the experience. Below is a picture of the mugs, the kleenex box, and one of my pie plates...I bought a little set of of them, because they are beautiful. This months pie, which I think I'll make on Wednesday, will be a chocolate mousse base with fresh strawberries sliced on top. I think it's going to be awesome.

Now I'm going to finish my tea (and my diluted orange juice...I read somewhere that if I stop being dehydrated maybe my sinus' will clear up...so, as of 2 hours ago, I am drinking as much as I can!), and then go to sleep, because tomorrow is work...a blessed short 8 hours of it, but work nonetheless. Happy day to you!   I also have no idea how to make paragraphs...I promise when I wrote this it had paragraphs, and they changed blogspot and now I can't make paragraphs, so it's going to have to stay a giant slab of words.
