Ever have one eye that just ached?

This hurts. It's my right eye. The eyeball and socket is just throbbing. It's like a headache in my eye.

The amazing power of herbs and vitamins

Day 2.5 of taking Echinacea pills 2-3 times a day and drinking plenty of Green Tea (Celestial Seasonings Antioxidant variety) and I'm feeling about 70% better. I've got very little congestion, no sore throat and am definitely feeling on the mend. All I needed was an immune system boost. Had I thought about it, I would have done this two months ago.

Think I'll keep taking the Echinacea pills for a while. And even when I'm healthy, just randomly take some. Not a bad habit to start.

I'm threading a needle to start beading the first armband for the gown. I just finished chalking out the design, free hand (the original was irregular or "artistically" done, figured mine should be too). I didn't think it would go that fast! Measuring and marking the seam allowance took longer. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I think I'll be able to follow these lines easily enough. I started the evening really scared to screw up my silks.

New things are fun.

Unfortunately, it's really late to be getting started on this and I should be going to bed. Proof that I'm a night owl.
