did i mention that i went to the doctor's about my eye problem? it turns out it's not eczema, but some kind of rash thing. she gave me a prescription for when it gets bad again. in the meantime she told me to keep using my olive oil mix to keep it moist. since then i've actually started using this beeswax hand cream, and that has really been helping keep it under control. that said, from time to time my eye is still a little runny. because of all this eye business i've kind of stopped wearing make-up. i found that eyeliner was usually wiped off within the hour anyways, but it saves me time to not have to put on make-up in the morning and i'm finding that my face looks cleaner and younger. i still use concealer under my eyes, but that's it.

my dad called last night and offered to pick me up some miracle grow. i politely declined his offer, and he got really mad. i knew he would. he literally seemed offended. i explained to him that i did some research into it and we've decided to use other non-chemical options. it's stressful when things like that happen. but i think the thing that bothers me is when people don't give me the benefit of the doubt that i've actually weighed my options and come to an informed decision. brendan didn't understand why my dad was so invested in our garden. and while that is how it seems, i don't think it's that exactly. it's more that he's really excited about miracle grow, just as he is about costco and eating at the base. i think it's just disappointing for him when others don't appreciate the things he is excited about.

i wouldn't be surprised if frank up a quits some day. i half expect it before the end of this year.

we weeded the garden last night. afterwards my fingers were sore and dirty. i don't mind the dirt. it makes me feel connected with the earth.

 

let's tarnish the silver.
