Catching Up...
May. 21st, 2006 12:04 pmIt has been a while since I have posted much in the way of herbal things to my LJ. I have been working on my herbal AHG stuff. That never seems to end. Right now I am looking at trying to get the basement rearranged to facilitate all that. Its going to be alot of work.
I have been dealing with for the past few weeks something that is not conjuctivitis but is some sort of eye infection. I had my doctor take a look at it, they prescribed drops. The drops didn't do crap. I had been using an infusion of eyebright and goldenseal, but Trilby reminded me that goldenseal, in particular the constituent berberine is not very water soluable. Solution? I need to get a tincture of goldenseal going. Thankfully, I still have some on hand from when I worked at Frontier. I have some root, at least a gallon jar of whole root. Yes, it is farmed, not wild crafted for those of you who are concerned. It was one of those ultimate sweet deals as it was a particular packaging size that was discontinued...so what did they do? They put it in the free bin! Free you say?! Why, thank you! I will take that little price worth several hundred dollars, no problem! You don't have to twist my arm!
Today![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
userbenu, my son graduates from high school! Let me tell you it makes me feel quite old at this moment! God, where did my baby boy go?! *flail* I am so proud of him, I can barely speak. He has been accepted into Mount Mercy, which is a private college to pursue his major, which is education. I made the mistake of asking him what everyone else asks, and that is, "What grade level do you think you want to teach?" Big mistake! He doesn't know yet, and that is fine. I think everyone should be allowed to find out what interests them. Did I mention that I am proud of him? ;)
