Random Tuesday

I'm linking up with Stacy.  Come join the fun!

I'm so mad at Bath and Body Works!  No, not mad enough to quit buying their products, of course.  They used to have aromatherapy "sleep" fragrances:  lavender & chamomile and lavender  & vanilla.  They still make a lavender vanilla fragrance, but it's different.  They don't carry the lavender chamomile fragrance anymore.  They changed their "sleep" fragrance to lavender and cedarwood.  It's nice, but it's not the same!  They also have a "comfort" fragrance that is nice:  vanilla and patchouli.  It's kind of like candy and pepper.  I like it!

Speaking of cedarwood... When I was growing up, I was always told that my sister was allergic to cedar so I would inherit my mom's cedar chest.  I loved that cedar chest.  I had it in my home for a while waaayyyyy back when I was in my 20's, but I have no idea what happened to it.  It sorta bums me out.

And speaking of allergies... I've been writing a personal narrative at work, teaching my students how to write, so I've been writing about the time I stepped on a nail when I was 6 or 7.  That is when they found out I was allergic to tetanus.  Yep!  I got out of taking the DPT booster vaccine all my life because of it.  I don't know if that's good or bad.  It just IS.  You might be surprised how difficult it is to document this kind of allergy for school officials.  I was always very careful about playing outside barefooted after that.

And now...

I saw this on Facebook, and it made me sad.  I, too, have a Master's Degree, many, many years experience, and have had to work two jobs to make ends meet.  It shouldn't be this way.  I'd be making two or three times my current salary if I were a professional in another industry.

And on the funny, but also true side...

And Hahaha!

Have a great week!
