Southern Snow Flurries

Filed under: Life — gardener @ 7:39 pm

Yesterday for Christmas I commented on my Facebook that we were having Southern Snow for Christmas- otherwise known as rain. Today, the temps have dropped throughout the day and we’ve actually seen a few REAL snow flurries although easily missed if one blinked. I heard diddy and mom talking a little while ago about leaving the faucets running just a little tonight because it’s supposed to get in the 20’s and they don’t want to run the risk of frozen pipes. I can’t say I blame them.

Vacation to Recover from the Vacation

Even though we still have 26 days left in our trip (longer than many people’s entire vacations), I can tell that people are noticing that we are on the downhill slope of the trip. They are trying to squeeze in get together’s and I’ve been thinking about how grateful I am that so many people want to spend time with us. I’m trying my best to see everyone, but I know at the end of the trip there will be those that I never were able to get a chance to see in spite of really wanting to.

I mentioned to someone a few days ago that when I get home, I’m going to need a week to rest after all the going and doing. I guess a vacation to recover from the vaction if you will.

Little Differences

For a while now I’ve been using olive oil soap as my own little found home remedy for acne. I guess I shouldn’t call it acne, because it isn’t what most people would consider full-blown acne, but since my hormones seem to have been raging this year it has shown up in break-outs. It really has worked wonders and aside from a little break-out I’m having right now (probably from the excess of junk I’ve been eating) I have noticed a huge difference in the way my face looks.

I’ve also started taking red clover in hopes that it helps with the peri-menapause symptoms I’ve been having. So far so good, although I suspect it will take a while before I know for sure if it’s going to make a difference.
