Hi friends! I am going to spare you the details of the horrors of the past week and just say that the Greek tragedy I am starring in is truly an epic tale. In fact, my body is really keeping the score right now and I have begun to have some health issues from the extreme amount of stress. Some of the ways we are trying to counteract this is to be more active in our joy-seeking. Last Saturday we went to four nurseries/plant shops and bought a lot of plants. I had a couple gift cards to use and we wanted to buy some herbs that I frequently use fresh. I smelled multiple different types of basil, thyme, rosemary, and sage. At one nursery I smelled maybe four different types of sage before deciding I didn’t like any of them and we should go to another nursery down the road. Buying plants brings me joy and so does being deliberate about the ingredients I use when I cook so it was a good (and exhausting) day. I’m giving them a week or so to get acclimated to their new home before repotting.
