Anyway, the Herb Train went out today Priority Mail to Jacquie--keep an eye out for it, it's coming your way!!

I'm super happy with the seeds I got--some old stan-by's like sage and basil, along with some new ones like borrage--and there's lots of great seeds in there!

Take care all,
M

Hope you feel better, hon. No rush from me. Too cold this week to get out and start any seedlings. Brrrrr.

Loca,

Sorry you've been ill. I was sick this weekend as well. Sore throat, achy, headache. No fever, but then I take 4 Advil a day. Completely lost my voice. Lost a day's work.

I'm gonna be placing my order with Horizen Herbs this week or next. I'm gonna order lots of flowers this year from BC and some of the other sites. I think I'm set for the veggies for the garden this year. Now for the herb/flower aspect of it.

Luckily I have most of my veggies, so like you, I will be mainly ordering herbs and cutting flowers. I did sunflowers for the first time last year, and I enjoyed bouquets up til the very end, which for me, was just a few weeks ago. I made them from sunflowers, sprigs of mint, and a mixture of basils, lilies, and other bloomers from my yard, and I loved it. I can't wait to try again with all new stuff. I LOVE flowers.

Thanks Michelle. I'm still feeling pretty lousy--I'm staying home again today in the hopes of shaking it. I have to go in to work tomorrow, though.

I did get to spend a long leisurely morning in bed snuggled up with my chihuahua, BB. He's a good sick companion--very empathic. We don't get to spend much time just the two of us, so that was nice. He needs a walk now, though, so I'll have to rouse myself!

My follow-up with my surgeon is the 16th, so hopefully all is well and he'll release me to do normal stuff with precautions. DH has been a trooper, taking care of my every need. I feel blessed to have him. Thank you SO much for your concern.

I hope your follow up went well, Southern? I meant to check earlier, but work and parent/teacher conferences are limiting my online time...
Loca, I do hope you feel better quickly! It's rotten when you have to return to work ill...but hey, we have to do what we have to do...
Speaking of which, I'm leaving for work in 3 min. Glad the train is chugging along!

Hang in SG...and good vibes to all of you on the mend. I had to dash out of town for a few and came back feeling ....well generally cruddy...more time in be than out and I'm sitting on a train and a few trades as well...hate to do so but can't seem to move.

Well, Sprocket, there's only one answer to the problem your having ("just can't seem to move")- Obey the wisdom of your body! AND THE SAME TO YOU LOCA! Ain't it hard to turn off that brain that keeps thinking up stuff for us to do so we won't waste time just lying there getting well!? I will imagine you resting peacefully with an EMPTY MIND, snuggled in a blankie with your favorite snuggle companions right there with you. Some nice light shining in the window. Birds at the feeder. A magic cup of tea (or whatever) that stays a perfect temperature and refills at just the right time. And a lovely, ethereal fairy grandmother to come by periodically and smooth your brow. Now how can you resist that?

That sounds awesome Earthangel!

I knew I must be really pathetically sick when my kid made me tea--she's not ususally prone to random acts of sympathy, now that she's a tween

I'm much better now--maybe up to 85%.
