the little things


so, i admit yesterday i was not so happy. it had been a tough day and i was feeling under the weather. i stayed home from work today and went to the doctor. the doctor that some like to refer to as my "hippie doctor." she's a real doctor. she just tries to avoid medication unless absolutely necessary. i kind of agree...so, don't ask me for my doctor's name if you want drugs. if you go in wanting drugs she will most likely tell you to take some fish oil and drink water...and when you feel really crappy and you just want your mom to take care of you...not so much.

i have a sinus infection and she told me to use saline spray, a neti pot and to steam. she gave me a prescription just in case...see, she's a real doctor. she does have the worst bedside manner EVER! let's not talk about the neti pot, k?

sooo...the great thing about my doctor is that her office is a block from the flower district. i decided not to cash in on prescription. instead i bought the last bunch of ranunculus. they were a sad looking bunch...a little scraggly and missing some blossoms. they were perfect. i love how they wrap the flowers in brown butcher's paper and seal it with masking tape. there is something really lovely about that.

i brought the sad little guys home and with a little love and care trimmed them up and i have two arrangements. and, that makes me happy. i think that's better than some antibiotics that might work...and who wants to give up wine with the girls on thursday?
