It rained all day today, and this morning it was stormed!! I have discovered that strong chai tea and vanilla soy milk taste great together!!! but are not the best for you! Damn. still i've been drinking it all day. We went on a walk/job in the rain and watched a samurai movie. My herbal first aid class was interesting, the first half hour was just a review of herbs and there uses I already knew. I found out some interesting and somewhat useful remedies, but the lady did not know the properties of any of the herbs. This concerned me, because even if she is a certified herbalist, one needs to know why the plants work for different aliments. I mean, there may be 3 different plants that are good for the same thing....but at the same time you need to be particular about which one you use!!! The reason is that one herb may be heating or cooling, and depending upon the nature of the aliment the plant with the right properties needs to be use to avoid over heating or over cooling the person, and therefore doing more damage!!! And this lady did not know. I don't think I will give her anymore money, but it's not her fault, it's that western herbal study does not always include the properties of the plants.

It took me 3 years, which isn't that long!, to be sure about my love, It wasn't until then that I was truely happy.
