@PoeticTorment: The gel pen collection is a bit ridiculous; I don't know when or where I'll ever use them all but I had to have them and the price was right. XD

And cool, thanks for the links! I love tools for stuff like this. :D

Minecraft is awesome, and Don't Starve Together is a fun one too, though a bit difficult. :) Also Stardew Valley is a popular one right now! It's super cute and fairly low stress.

Haha, I had caffeine for the first time in a few weeks last night and today, and today I vacuumed the whole house and tended my poor neglected houseplants. And cleaned my room. :D



@PoeticTorment:
Ah yeah, I imagine getting school supplies is a bit more hectic for the parents, lol!

I think part of my problem is I cut out caffeine for a bit, and it just crashed me, mood and all. I think I need a little stimulant in me to function reasonably. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The pens are always the best part! I obsess, I have so many pens (especially my gel pens; I have a huge case full of over 100 of them!).

And oh cool, thanks! I gotta bookmark that for future use. :D

@Ava: I have depression and my plants help; among other things they force me to get up and open my blinds every day so they get enough light! So I do love them quite a bit. :) Fortunately they've mostly been patient with me when I've been down and neglectful, too.

I've had a little trouble with some succulents--mostly providing enough light since even directly under a growlight some are still stretching--but my 'regular' houseplants seem to be doing really well! I think I have some fairly easy plants though, to be honest.

And no, she sure doesn't! Not yet, anyway. :)

@Ava: Honestly not much! I put her initially in some water to watch for root growth, but apparently I could have plopped her right in the soil. But after I had some reasonable roots, I stuck her in a pot with some soil, made sure she had water and light, and she did the rest!

@Totalanimefan: Hehe, thanks, though I have to admit she did most of the work herself!



@Wildfire: I've seen these indoor 'grass patches' you can buy at like Five Below for just such occasions, but I don't know how well it'd work for male dogs or big dogs; I feel like they'd miss the mark and pee on the wall, you know? Fortunately roommate's dog has figured out he can pee on the pillar that holds up the porch instead of actually going into the rain, lmao.



@Wildfire: Oh that's a good point, god, at least with the 'routine' storms you get enough breaks to take the dogs out to do their business, lol. With a tropical storm, or at least like the last one which this one seems to be following, it's like "okay, it's been raining for 7 hours and the dog refuses to go out in the rain. Great."

@Count Trashula: Aw man, I hate that attitude. I'm sorry. :( Fingers crossed for your plants!



@Wildfire: Aw, I'll bet the doggos loved that! And yeah, I was so pooped after vacuuming I passed out for a good hour. I felt soooo much better when I woke up, though!

Haha, thanks, I've been putting off the vacuuming. And I think I'll work on the plant now that I've had lunch! :D

@Count Trashula: Oh gosh, I sure hope you're able to get your plants back, especially the "big" one! People don't realize how much plants can come to mean to us. :/

That's awesome, congratulations!



I got the vacuuming done! Including extra thoroughly around the roommate's birdcage, that she never properly cleans, that I know our current moth problem came from. :I

I'm now pooped and I have a headache. I hate vacuuming. I hate carpet. Give me tile and wood floors any day.

I still wanna take care of at least one plant today.

That reminds me, this month's crate items?? *chef's kiss* I love the plants so much! I need to get a second one so I can have all the plants around me. :D
