I got another few chapters of my writing project finished up this past week, and got the next section all nicely plotted out. I was going to take some time this afternoon to dive into the first draft of that bit (the climax! Exciting!), but then I got spontaneously invited to a roller derby bout, so I'm going to do that instead and will get to writing another time. There are worse ways for plans to suddenly change!
Gardening is... going. The angelica has been looking very poorly of late, and I finally realized it's got an insect infestation I had previously missed. Sprayed all the bugs off and got some neem oil on the plant, and now I'm just hoping I didn't catch it too late. I also harvested all the tulsi from the indoor hydroponics, and cleaned out the hydroponic system so I can re-start with something new - probably lemon balm and dill, for tea and cooking respectively.
Tomorrow I'm planning to strain out the cuticle oil I started a few weeks ago. Very curious to see how it works, and if I'll need to tweak the recipe at all. I don't think any of the other oils or tinctures I've got in the cabinet are ready to strain yet, but I'm sure I'll have a big herbalism weekend coming up one of these days.
