Thanks everyone, for your concern about Kaia. She is totally fine! She was over and done with her fever within 24 hours and asking to go back to school! Her immune system is amazing! I’m really liking Boneset, by the way, for how quickly it seems to help with cold/flu-y symptoms.

House-wise, we have the new footings poured… 30 feet from the old one. We have all the concrete blocks ready to go (north side wall), but the ground has been frozen, so we are on hold until it warms up a little.

Hey, I’ve been asked to start teaching at the local community college! Well, I’m covering a class for another herbalist, but that’s a start right? Asheville-Buncombe Technical College has community classes about herbs, and will soon have Continuing Education classes for nurses (herb related). Right now, I’m going to do a 2 hour Materia Medica class covering Valerian, Ginger, and Saw Palmetto (3 of the top 10 selling herbs). And I am helping to set up the CE classes. Pay is nice too! 🙂

So, tomorrow is my birthday! Toby’s mom took Kaia to play for the weekend. So, tonight, Toby and I are heading to the local hot springs for a soak. Tomorrow, I get a day at the spa, followed by a nice diner and maybe a movie!!! Wooohoooo!
