It's raining outside and it's all gloomy.

Mica called in sick because she had a (stupid) accident last night with the pressure cooker. She opened the thing before it had time to release pressure and cool down and it, naturally exploded all it's contents (pork sinigang) on her, burning her arms, hands, face, chest and upper abdomen. She now has what I'd like to call war wounds. Her arms and hands looks like that of a chef's and her stomach looks like it was grazed by a hot iron. Her lips are semi swelled up that her mom and sister now says she has angelina jolie lips. Yey... She is currently buzzing aloe vera leaves in our food processor to make a gel paste with the consistency of snot and rubbing it all over her burns. Double yey!

I brought home an empty bottle of chambord and wrapped it in twine to make a decorative bottle.

Did I ever show you my herb "garden"? I planted chives, basil and parsley seeds a few months ago and they're ready for picking. The chives, however have given up growing and listlessly lies beneath the other herbs.
