Mmm

I'm a little stuffy this morning (spent too much time in the room with the bunnies aka allergens yesterday) so I'm drinking some of my cold tea. Its the stuff I was talking about on Saturday night in our discussion about herbal things. I'm completely amazed at its effectiveness in nipping colds in the bud - the placebo effect just can't be this good! On the note of Saturday night, thank you gracious hosts! I had a wonderful time and I'm really enjoying these kinds of gatherings where silliness and conversation ensues.

Somehow I managed to write my whole research proposal in around 3 hours on Saturday (save for some information I need to get at work, like a description of my sample and data set). I'll pull that information on Tuesday and make final edits to the report Tuesday night. This means that what I thought would suck up my entire weekend only took a few hours! Having Saturday, Sunday and today to do with as I wish is very nice.

B and I are spending today together and then going to the fam's for dinner tonight. I was trying to think of something nice and either free or cheap for us to do. I've been itching to go to the Peabody Essex Museum and walk around Salem but I'm thinking that should be saved until B has found a new job (Harrison's Comics is just way too tempting!).

I wish our 'hood wasn't so unappealing; I'd love to go for a long walk somewhere nice and feed birds like we used to do on The Charles. I'm wondering what this spring and summer will bring as the birds are making more noise, the sun is coming out more and its starting to smell *almost* like spring is here. I wonder if next December we'll still be here or in another house in a more preferable location. Whatever happens I want to make sure that we have the space to entertain - the reason I love having such a big house is that we can have people scattered all over it!

Have a wonderful day, all! I'm going to flip through some of my books to brush up on my Artemis/Diana lore and then I'll go pounce on Brian to wake him up for this day's adventures. I think that free time with people you love (friends, lovers, family, whatever) is the best thing in all of the world (and wouldn't you know it? its free!).

if you scoot down rte 9 a bit, at JUST inside insersection with rte 128/95, there's a nice park area around the head of the charles river portion. pretty scenic and spiffy. yeah, not immediately in your hood, but close, and very nice. i used to visit it a bunch while working there.

and i think VERY near to where you live are the "witches caves" that people use for geocaching. apparently there's woody paths around there, plus the "caves" (salem witches hid there).

Is this the tea I made for you or did you find another one?

"Is this the tea I made for you or did you find another one?"

Its the one you made (only I bought and added some eucalyptus since that seemed to be the key ingredient). :)

yeah euc does the trick, my supplies are way, way low right now. I just depleted it all for my mom. Wanna hit Salem sometime soon?

I can't wait just a couple of weeks and it is a weekend of relaxation!!!

"Wanna hit Salem sometime soon?"

I definitely want to go when it gets a bit warmer. There is an exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum on Geisha that I'd love to see. And, it would be better to go after Brian founds a job - don't need the temptation of Harrison's comics :)
