My aunt is in town!

 I will see her tomorrow.  

I think it's funny, a couple weeks ago I had a tiny space heater next to my chair, running, because it was so cold.  It must be 80 (F) out and I have a small fan running instead.  

I'm going to do a henna touch up on my roots pretty soon.  I need to look around the house and do some picking up too.  Clean the litter boxes.  

I've seen a lot of Scrappy today.  He let me pick him up but he didn't like it and buried his head in my arms, I won't do that again.  

Later on I'm going to experiment with some plantains.  I have a riper one (sweeter) I plan to cook with some rice, then add coconut milk before serving.  I have a more starchy one I plan to make some sort of veggie stew with some carrots, sweet potatoes, red potato, plantain.  Those should be nice and bland for my stomach.  

I have to be careful how I talk about people - God's working on that.  I had a Facebook friend who was a very big proponent of essential oils.  She liked one MLM brand a lot.  She swore patchouli oil was good for nausea.  I have a very cheap Walmart brand patchouli oil.  I add a drop or two to my henna treatment to help mask the (grassy) scent of the henna.  I dabbed a little on my belly and sure enough I do feel better.  I can't do that tomorrow because my aunt is very sensitive to fragrance and that would send her straight into a migraine.  I will do ginger root tomorrow.  

By the way, both plantain dishes will feature ginger root.  

Now I need to go clean out the fridge!  Prayers appreciated!  I couldn't eat ANY of the food I cooked last weekend and I didn't have room in the freezer.
