Friday before dinner

Have really gotten weary of not having time to myself, especially in the house. With the kids' trips to my mom's for a weekly/bi-weekly visit being a thing of the past, I've had to re-examine my moods lately.  I get ruffled and snippy, and know that mostly it's for feeling too surrounded by humans and their noise.

I do love quiet.  And my own company. And not having to answer questions.  I really dislike being on guard for that.

Went to the health food store last night.  Got some Tea Tree oil on sale and one of those bottles of Dr. Bach's flower remedies.  Not sure if they work, but it was an indulgence I've been curious about.  I got Olive and the saying about it is:  "For those who have suffered much mentally or physically, and are so exhausted and weary that they have no more strength to make any effort.  Daily life is hard work for them, without pleasure."

Sounds sadder than I feel, but there is some truth to it.  Call me a sucker, but I've always been intrigued by the flower remedies, so we'll just take a chance with it.  And have a jug of distilled water sitting with quartz in it.  The minerals are supposed to infuse the water.  Take an herbology class and see what pops up in your radar. :)

Planning on a quiet weekend.  The weather is perfect, and the temperatures are in the 70s.  Windows are open and there's hope in the air.  Enjoy your weekend.
