@Totalanimefan: I'm actually doing pretty well the last few days... just busy. I've been playing in my garden, researching things to grow, getting some supplies, trying to locate others, and completely ignoring the state of the house right now (it's a chaotic mess atm, tbh). And a few days ago, I was just doing too much, all at the same time... so that had its stressors, but it was temporary.

Accounting... numbers... that stuff makes me nuts to begin with, so I give you all kinds of credit for pursuing that, but I do understand what that "huh? I don't get it?!" place. I'm sure it will click eventually. Maybe if you approach learning it in a different way than whatever is presented in the book/site??

I'm not looking forward to the time change either. It's always rough, seems completely pointless, and my body seems to have gotten it in its "brain" that I now fall asleep super early... to wake super early... so I'm not looking forward to that 5am wake up suddenly being 4am /eyeroll/

@Aisukohi: Nothing wrong with taking some down time to yourself. It's an important part of self-care. :3

The sun did come out yesterday and it was still cool enough to be enjoyable (here). I did a lot of work in the garden yesterday. I was in a tank and shorts, but it was nice not to be completely dying of heat, doing that kind of outside work!



@Koah: It sounded like you were going to have a busy weekend! How did your roadtrip and everything go?

I'm right there with ya with the alligators and snakes - my general attitude is that they are fine.....as long as they're waaaaaayyy "over there" somewhere! I don't want to be near them, but they can be interesting to watch, and I acknowledge their place on the planet. Turtles can be fun, and there are some weird ones down here too - like the softshell turtle and the alligator snapping turtle - and we have tortoises which are fun to run across from time to time, and some "normal" looking turtles (box turtles, etc.). Oh! Plus the sea turtles, in the Gulf of Mexico...

@Another Movie Addict: good morning AMA. What's going on in your world today?


@Totalanimefan: Yeah... I'm just toying with ideas right now, and trying to brainstorm what will work with the area we have (shade, full sun, full Florida sun, etc.)
I'm glad you were able to rest a bit and that you're feeling better. Sometimes taking a break is the best option, even if you feel time-crunched :3

@Wildfire: The weekend was busy. Saturday we drove 3 hours each way, Hit a blizzard both ways. lol. Folks around here were not ready. There was a lot of cars in the snowbanks.
My friend's babyshower was .. an experience [I don't like baby showers XD ]. I was more excited to see old friends from our hometown. They drove WAY longer than we did to be there.
Yesterday a couple of our local friends invited themselves over to help with home projects. Which helped so much. omgosh! I have amazing friends.

AAAND MY HUSBAND just told my mom our news. OMG. -instant panic-

@Totalanimefan: I just looked around - didn't really talk to anyone yet. I just wanted an idea of what they have available, and their pricing before pursuing anything further. I'll do a little more research on my own, and I'm trying to make mental notes of different areas of my yard where I might be able to plant things. Unfortunately, most of the "available" land we have that gets sun is on the south side of the house - which means All Day Florida Sun. Or the front yard, and although I'd like to tell the HOA to go pound sand with some of their silly restrictions, I'm not ready to tackle them just yet (because I'm still figuring out what I want to do). And there's an area in the back that gets some sun, but I don't think it gets enough to qualify as "full sun"... *sigh*

@Koah: she sounds concerned, but from what you've told me, that's a reasonable reaction. Still, I hope you hear from her soon - I can imagine that you're a little apprehensive not hearing from her yet, with such news! :3 *hugs*

Aloe... I have several aloe plants already and believe it or not, the sun on that side of the house during summer is too much for them! How Florida can be tougher on a freaking cactus than the desert, I don't know, but apparently it is! XD And, I'm trying to plant edibles - I'm thinking about fig trees and papaya trees and banana trees... *dreams* I really need more land...
