Monday was a busy day, we took the car in, we went to the eye doctor for Chris and I, and although Jake napped, I didn't get to, as James brought over some goodies from Lisa. Later, as Jake woke up and I brought him downstairs, I tweaked my back, somehow. I have no idea how. Probably because I haven't been moving my body in a healthy manner since Chicago. As I sat at dinner, I got less and less able to breathe. Crap. This usually results in me needing to take a bunch of very good drugs and go to bed for at least 4 hours. Jake would not be down with that. And the fact that it was 6 oclock, meant the chiropractor was closed, so no emergency adjustment either. So I dragged a chair over to my 'oil table' in the front hall, and whipped this up. In doing so, I got it all over my spatula and hands, and proceeded to slime it all over my lower back. I made Eric carry everything to the school. I was NOT about to miss Kindergarten Open House at Sam's school. All I held were sweetboy hands, which wasn't entirely a bad thing. :)
But by the time we left the school, I could carry a bit of the box, I could hold Jake, and most importantly I could breathe! I love this cream! The pan-away has a strong wintergreen scent and the peppermint also usually bites, but with the valor in it, it is calm and sweet, and not so overpoweringly minty. I think I love it! I ended up reapplying before bed. the next day, I was a little tender, but not bad. Turns out I didn't need to go to the chiropractor at all! Good stuff. And it works! So here's another oil recipe - Cathy Approved!
