began by some reading, the Ensouling Language, then made Egg Foo Yung for the first time ever. Out, to feed, change water, wander/look/envision. Back in to stitch till the day really warmed. Stitched the top edge, turning it under
only to the Point where the cloth is ripped….that last, with that Wing, flange, is….needs to be raw edged
as are the other edges and i spent some time pulling thread so those edges can be soft. Still needs more of this softness.
And i continued to clean dog shit, still from Chinche too, from the last couple months. And digging and hauling some compost and straight manure to the strip of tomato bed. Pulled up the tomato cages, layed them to rest for now. Used a crow bar to disassemble a broken pallet and stacked the wood by the fence. Brought in fire wood.
Then, almost forgot, had to go late in the day to pick up a truck load of Grass Hay. Drove home in the dark. So…this too.
and made an agreement with Self. Still, from when that fence panel fell on me, months ago, really, there is something "wrong" with the right shoulder. I have no idea what it is exactly but it hurts from lifting. Lifting including lifting feed over the fences, lifting shovels full of things, lifting bales of feed, lifting the larger heavier pieces of fire wood. So…basically, doing everything here that needs doing.
Cynthia had sent, along with the wreath, other things. One being a bag of loose tea from Taking Root, who are at the Farmer's Market there in Vermont. She sent 3 and i used part of the Breathe Deep before sending the rest to Alyssia along with another that i thought she might find good for her. I kept Structural Support: Gotu Kola, Solomon Seal, Tulsi, Peppermint, Ginger, Horsetail and Nettle Leaf. For Good Reason. I began using it yesterday and from the moment of the first swallow could TELL it is what i need: " Modulate inflammation, increase circulation, nourish connective tissues and support the body to heal skeletal ailments, old and new."
So the plan is to use the Arnica Cream morning and night, drink one quart of the Structural Support a day (will need to order more) till "spring"…whenever i feel like Spring has arrived. Could be in February, or not until April. But till then.
so if you have an Herbalist, a Wise Woman, in your area then Good. If not, like me, Taking Root. You can google them.
The day was how a day IS. SUN took it's time to move. But somehow, i found myself moving InSide the Day, and there was a very Fine sense of Enough Time. a very Fine Sense of Goodness to it All.
