Today . . .

Found out that I will be teaching distance learning style through the rest of 2020. While I’m intensely sad to not get to form in person relationships with my students, I am relieved to know how to plan for the rest of the year. Unfortunately, online learning seems the decision that will allow for the most consistency for our community.

This relief has left me energized, to be honest, in a way I haven’t felt in a long while. It’s been a struggle. Today I did some of my favorite things. It was a day full of medicine. Saffron capsules for my wife. Cold care pills using a recipe to prep for the fall. Encapsulating your own powdered herbs is a great way to control the ingredients you’re ingesting. Mix your powders, fill the capsules, pop the two halves of the capsule together, and store until needed. I have a capsule maker that makes the process more efficient, but capsules can easily be made with just herbs and a bowl.
My day’s other medicine included making some herbal honey, some chai spiced oatmeal cookies, and a call with my mom, sister, and niece.
