one of the interesting tidbits about chamomile is that, when ingested, it has a decidedly bitter flavor. however its scent is one of the more relaxing things provided by nature. and, despite its flavor, it is a flower/herb with decidedly calm inducing properties; often taken as an anti-anxiety or sedative aide.
i brought home a lavender-chamomile dispenser in the on-going war against cat box oder. it’s working very, very nicely, but my roomie isn’t so sure he likes it. he’s a french-vanilla fellow himself, rather obsessed with it, actually. (an on-going joke between us revolves around vanilla versus french-vanilla and how, precisely one can tell a difference, as every instance wherein both are available, he has been unable to do so.)
i suppose you can tell the kind of weekend i’ve had when this is the thing i’m writing about. heh. we went out to dinner tonight with one of his friends, a woman named molly. very nice person. i’m looking forward to getting to know her. i fear we both ganged up on poor roomie quite badly. made his ears rather red from all the ribbing. it was a hoot, albeit a somewhat prickly one for him. he took it in good stride however, and we argue genially all the way home as to whether or not molly has interest in him (she does, but he seems unwilling to admit seeing/knowing it).
i had something of an epiphany about my roomie tonight, but it ranks with those things you realize, but don’t tell the world, so i’ll not say more of it. suffice to say that i’m glad i am here and i’m glad i have the chance to be a good friend to him…. he needs good friends almost as much as i do.
tomorrow is back to work and i really can’t believe that i’ll soon have yet another amazing paycheck. heh. i’m trying not to look too far ahead, but it’s hard when i realize how well they’re paying me. (chuckle)
i’m also going to be back on the hunt for the plugin to replace the veil here. so if you’re reading and you don’t have a login, you may wish to make a note to request one… soon. just hit the ‘connect’ button on the header/menu and ask. once i return to lock down here, i’m going to be teaching myself enough php to maintain the plugin against future versions.
why? simply put, i’m not willing to have people who aren’t willing to be part of my life playing peeping tom here. if you don’t want to know me, you shouldn’t be here, and if you haven’t the decorum to be consistent in your aversion, i’ll help you with it.
or, in other words, if you aren’t willing to be part of my life rather than skulking around on the periphery like a stalker, you can bloody well fuck off.
’nuff said.
