Stuffed Cabbage

For some unkown reason, I have been suffering (and suffering is the correct word) from soreness in my breasts. I have no idea why they hurt, but they do. There is also some priapism happening here. I am hoping (that's all I can do at this juncture) that I am not beginning to hit the change of life. I started early so it stands to reason that I will end early. Though my mother was 50 when she hit change... I think. Hard to tell with her. But I digress. I will worry about the cause later (next month), right now I need to concern myself with relief.

I came across this concept earlier this year. And thought it crazy. But yesterday, I was desparate and searching the internet for a home remedy that would not cause additional sytemic problems and I found it again. Cabbage leaves are supposed to relieve sore breast-esis. Well.

I took myself to Kroger and bought a clean looking cabbage, went home, and stuffed my bra with a few leaves on each side. Low and behold.... I woke this morning to incredibly soft boobs, but they didn't hurt. WOW! The priapism is still there but the over all soreness is gone. Guess what? I am sitting at work, typing with cabbage stuffed boobies. The only thing that concerns me is there is a light smell of cabbage if you get real close and invade my personal space. But if you wanna be all close like that, then you desrve gold (cabbage smell) for your labor.

Now if only I could find something to take care of the priapism. Any advice?



Peace.

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al...

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need...

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to...
