what a wonderful day!! for the first time this week i woke up and was able to breath and my chest didn't hurt. i washed and waxed the vehicles, planted some flowers, and mourned the death of my crepe mrytle. once that was removed, i planted some lovlies to take its place. i pulled some weeds and mulched some pesky leaves that were caught in the fence.
i also reached true neighbor-dom today! man across the street asked to borrow clippers for his grape vines. after using them, not only did he thank me, but complimented those cute little shears.
i'm sunburnt, dirty, and tired. I've sweated through my bra and scraped the hell out of my knuckles. i couldn't be happier.

family affair
i hate that i have a 'set' day to talk to people, but i do. sunday is usually my day to chat with various members of family. seems like it's always a good day to catch folks for a minute without feeling rushed.
i just got off the phone with my grandma. we talked for over an hour, about all manner of things. you know what? my grandma is bad ass, no lie. when we talk, i don't baby talk like a lot of people do to their grandparents. i've heard some people have conversations with their g-rents and talk to them like babies. you know they're people too right? they can have normal conversations. for example, today, we talked about antiques, lucid dreams, and andrew zimmer eating penises.
i think too often people take their family for granted. some people even dread visiting their family because it takes away from other important things. but some day, those people are going to be dead and there's gonna be a crapload of regret. take out 30 minutes and reach and touch someone.

april challenge
no foolin' here.
i challenge anyone who may stumble upon this to learn something new. for example, if you take vitamins, know what you're taking. stress b-complex is not valium. it does not work instaneously. so, next time you're co-worker is talking about their bad day, do not offer them a b-vit. it will do nothing but maybe give them an upset stomach.
what have i learned recently? true wasabi is an extremely rare plant/root/herb. the majority of wasabi you get is actually horseradish with green food coloring. food for thought.
