1. Ingredients in the smoothie I'm drinking right now:

strawberries
raspberries
2 kinds of kale
red beet
basil
apple
flax seeds
barley grass powder

Scientific analysis: Delicious. Basil+berries = surprisingly awesome/refreshing. Also my husband is a freak who keeps barley grass powder around the house WHAT IS THAT EVEN?

2. Ingredients in the herbal tonic I've been taking 3x a day (very devotedly, which is yay because I'm bad with forming new habits) on advice of herbalist due to weak liver energy, stagnant spleen, etc:

panax ginseng
black cohosh
raspberry leaf
wild yam
dandelion
prickly ash
milk thistle

Scientific analysis: Clearly these herbs have banded together to compete on which one can be the most freaking bitter thing on earth. I think dandelion wins, but I'm giving the side-eye to black cohosh too because it sounds bitter.

3. WIPs worked on in the last 24 hours: 2 *\o/*

a. Sarek/Amanda fic is being a little stubborn, in the way my fics sometimes are--which is to say, the first two paragraphs have banded together to drive me insane. Stop rewriting yourselves! Oh wait, it's me doing that. Meh.

b. Also have come to the conclusion that a section I once planned for Spock Epic (aka Now My Het_Bigbang Fic So I'd Better Finish It) has never really fit and now I'm working it up as a little standalone story instead.

4. I got the most lovely comment on Like the Stars, Like Your Destiny yesterday. Goal for today: reply!

5. Wise words about the concept of "productivity," found via glamaphonic on Tumblr. Good things to contemplate, esp if you're someone who tends to torture yourself about productivity and/or the lack thereof: About Productivity
