Another Tuesday come & nearly gone...
Yes, it is humid again. I think it's me- I am just not used to humidity; probably a normal reaction froma woman who lived 34 years in a state whose motto rather than "Ditat Deus" should be "It's a Dry Heat".
Ran a bunch of errands today. Library, video store, Centrelink, butcher, grocery store. Tomorrow will be easy- just pop round to National Australia Bank to pay rent (early!) and then back home to work on jewellery, graphics, and most of all- laundry. Oh yes, must also put some more time in on my business forms.
The Fimo metallics polymer clay I ordered arrived today- they are pretty! Trouble is is that I don't think I can mix them with Sculpey- they have different baking times. Same temp (130 degrees C) but twice as long for the Fimo. Sigh. Oh well, it'll still be good to use this stuff, the beads will be very pretty. Didn't make any new sets today, but I will likely bake the olive green & translucent ivory in a bit. It's a double header of Desperate Housewives tonight, so that will keep me entertained as I try to deal with the humidity enough to finally sleep. Sure I've already seen all of the first season of DH, but they are replaying it in order to prep us for it restarting next month. That's the one good thing about Oz, the TV shows are replayed in the summer so I am re-watching Lost and Medium and Grey's Anatomy as well. Couple that with my Six Feet Under collection, my Red Dwarf and my The L Word collection & the entire set of shows of Sex and the City at the video store and I am in TV heaven!
Purchased a liver cleansing set of herbal supplements today. The last time I had bloodwork the doctor was concerned becasue my liver enzyme count was up a bit, probably due to the Zoloft, so it's time to detox & heal. It is also recommended that I use a liver supplement now that I am working with all those pure essential oils, so I got some milk thistle to augment my daily health pill combo, and will start those after I finsih the ten day detox.
Began an intensive program the other day of "getting to know you" with each of my oils. It is a slow process, and there are already a bunch of oils I know fairly well, but now with such new & exciting EO's (such as Black Pepper, Borage, Palmarosa, and Coffee extract) it will be useful. Am keeping all my notes in a big journal, both online & printed out, along with all my gas chromatograph spectrography reoprts and such goodies like that. Anyway, I picked a bottle at random, eyes closed- the first was Black Pepper, the second was Borage. Wonder what the next will be? :-)
Alright, that is about it for now. Will go watch DH and relax a bit, try to cool off- or dry off. Both I guess. Damn this humidity, it aggravates my hives that I get from the allergies so I have to take extra chlorapheniramine maleate- that liver detox is going to be useful just in time!
Hugs & love!
