My son, Michael was walking his dogs, Moogi and Wil Friday night around 6:00. As he passed a house a couple blocks from his home, a woman let her black lab out into her fence-free yard whereupon the dog attacked Michael. Michael was bit on his hand and thigh.
He called me from the hospital where he was being treated. They washed out his wounds and then injected each puncture with rabies immune globulin. I heard him scream. Not a sound any mother wants to hear over the phone!
As of now, we don’t know if animal control has bothered to impound the dog, but since Michael is in the Air Force, I kinda think there will be some sort of followup. At least I hope so, because that dog was totally out of control and if it had been a child or even a teenager walking their dog, they could have been killed.
my poor boy…

can’t seem to remember my dreams lately…well, except for snippets and the hallucinatory ones that i had while sick w/the flu.
i miss my dreams.found a wonderful website today…http://www.herbsfromthelabyrinth.com/
they are located in Lancaster…i just may go on out there one of these days.found some chickweed growing under a big rock behind the library…yum. spring is around the corner, or at least under this particular rock.

well, i’m limping back to some semblance of health. sorta. still experiencing drainage issues, but the cough is mostly breaking up and although there’s little in the way of energy, i am able to get through the workday.
but that’s not what i want to type about. problem is, i keep drawing blanks. everything is mundane. work is work. home is home. rut is rut and that’s where i seem to be…so firmly entrenched in this rut, i’m starting to think of design options.
obut…
i am now one of the moderators on susun weed’s forums. moderators do very little really, just sorta make sure no spam or porn or vicious arguments break out and disrupt the flow of wisdom. so, i’m co-moderating the announcements and herbal medicine chest forums. it’s such an easy and nice change from my experiences as the owner of the politics list. i thought when i passed on the ownership of that list to others that i’d be happy to participate as a member, but i found i couldn’t stand even that. such a negative and damaged place…i never went back. i’m so much happier and healthier at susun weed’s site.some thoughts on tinctures:
* homemade tinctures are definitely better than store-bought
*lemon balm tincture is simply beautiful stuff
*elderflowers gently soothe flu-abused lungs
*cleavers may stick to your pants but the tincture unsticks the gunk
*skullcap keeps the lid on (promotes sanity) and eases headache, muscle tension/spasms
*motherwort calms and nurtures -
not remembering dreams the last few days. hmmm…maybe the lavender i put in my pillow is making me rest more deeply?
still feeling a bit edgy. not happy about being back at work with my plans to quit put off indefinitely. i AM going to register for the either the july or august 1-7 herbal intensives w/susun weed this summer. so, i’m trying to think of this job as a means to pay for my studies w/susun.beginning to get ideas for homemade products. want to make some scented bath salts, maybe some lotions or salve.
buying different brands of lavender has attuned my nose a bit. the lavender i bought from mountain rose is awful. such a nasty first sniff before the lavender note becomes apparent. ugh. this is useful only for funky fake aromatherapy stuff like candles or something. by far, the best lavender is wisdom of the earth’s. i’ll probably break down and buy the huge bottle ($200) someday.
but not today. 😉
