Yesterday I forgot to bring my health drink to work and let me tell you, I felt it too. I did drink it when I got home last night after work and I really do feel like that made a difference in my night.   Today, I remembered to bring my drink only to discover that my jar is cracked from when I put honey that was way too freaking hot in it. tonight Heather and I are going on a Saver's date. So hopefully I'll be able to find a another one. however, I will totally look at home first to see what we have in the pantry and in the shelves, because as the model for 2019 is no more waist, I cannot justify buying something if I had something at home that will work.    on that note, when we were cleaning out all of the closets I did find that wooden photo album that Tony made for me all those years ago. I had not planned on saving it, however it dawned on me that it would make a really nice book for my tried-and-true recipes for my home apothecary. I asked Heather if she wou

Today is the third day of drinking The herbal concoction that my co-workers told me about. Yesterday I started to add apple cider vinegar to the mixture. That made it actually tastes better than the first day. However, today I added too much cayenne, and probably a little too much apple cider vinegar. It's very strong.

Then this Sunday I went to the store and I bought some of the ingredients. I bought the stuff to make a health drink that my co-workers told me about , I bought the stuff to make a rubs for your feet and chest when you have a cold, and I bought the stuff for a congestion and cough remedy . Last night I put the shelf back up in the kitchen so that I could have all of my stuff in one area. The shelf is uneven, even after Heather helped me put it up. I have added some of the recipes that I put in a binder in page protectors. I also went through my other books with ideas in them, and pulled out anything that looked like it could be for the home apothecary.   My goal in 2019 is to waste less, whether it is from bringing my own bags to the store - which I forget to do 95% of the time so far this year - or it is making homemade d
