i have gotten a new appreciation recently for the stickies note marker things. they're so much fun!

and my bullet journal. i really do like writing in journals physically more than typing stuff xD

I've picked up bullet journaling FINALLY this year. I've been wanting to. tried a few times. and just never got into it for various reasons. But i finally found what feels right for me with it. and then.. covid. and i slacked off xD I'm hoping to fix my journal today.

@Borealis: Awwww, thank you! <3
Right now, I have a couple baby banana trees, a papaya or two, some butterfly peas, I'm trying to grow sweet potatoes, and there's some tropical spinach out there... and... let's see... I have a dragonfruit, and African Blue Basil, and ... a couple other things. But not too much, really. I really should be trying to get things sprouted and planted for the winter season but I have been far too busy and far too distracted with iRL things recently to get that stuff started...

@Borealis: I haven't had much luck growing things so far either tbh, but now (the last year-ish) since I seem to have a little more time available overall, it seemed like a good thing to try doing again. Really, the only things that are growing well are the things that basically you can't kill... although my everglade tomatoes seemed to have died somehow (and they're something that, here, you apparently "can't" kill x_X LOL!). It is fulfilling, but it's also time-consuming because there's definitely a learning curve (at least for those of us born without a green thumb!) and you need to monitor what's going on with everything... and all the plants seem to need different things at different times. But, it's interesting, and fulfilling, and if absolutely nothing else, it gets me out of the house, in to "my own space" for a while, and into some fresh air...

@Wildfire: might be worth giving him that tool to use for resetting/coping with things wether he uses it now or not. :] maybe some where in the future it'll be exactly what he needed and he has the toolset to use it then. or its super handy right now. :]

i mean. camping isn't bad either. but its cold. and eww bugs. and no internet. xD

@Shadami: LOL - bugs, definitely... but not cold. Not here. Not for a couple more months, anyway... XD
He's not an internet kind of guy, so that wouldn't bother him at all.

@Borealis: Thank you. Yes, we were extremely lucky that it didn't come up Tampa Bay like it was looking like it wanted to! Those poor, poor people in its wake, though! :(


@Shadami: LOL - yeah, I get ya. We are just now starting to cool off a touch and we seem to be out of the summer weather pattern (which is, by its nature, quite subtropical with daily rains and lots of humidity). It's just starting to be camping weather here :3

@Shadami: oh, that's a tough "inbetween" pattern to deal with, weather-wise. But, it is mid-October, and not unheard of for this time of year for most of the continent. I hope it evens out for you soon - those weather fluctuations make it difficult to dress for the day!! XD

New York has wild weather. But this is crazy xD

OH YEAH. this thread has questions. i completely forgot. I didn't get to finish the ones i started.
