Super quick one tonight as, you know, Other Life. I’ve been chewing basil leaves, as it’s said that eating basil increases concentration and creativity, two traits I seem to be lacking today. Of all days.
So far, I’ve not felt any different. Except now I have a hankering for pesto. Had there been more time, I might have decocted a few sprigs and tried a bit of astral projection. Maybe next time.

Absolutely understand about low concentration levels especially when needed. You have been doing brilliantly. I chew gum as I have heard it lowers anxiety levels.
Thank you! And thanks for the tip about the gum, might have to invest in some Juicy Fruit…
Hmmmm…if it didn’t work, perhaps the folklore around basil is fawlty?
BOOM BOOM!
