@wildfire: Yeah, pothos do grow like weeds, lol. Omigosh no you definitely don't want to eat them, lol; in fact they can really do a number on you or pets that do! And yes, some plants are very temperamental. Which reminds me I need to check on my one plant I set out on the porch a couple days ago, hmm.

Yeah, I was wondering if they had an actual name so I looked it up with like "what are the pollen thingies on trees called" lmao. Got my answer though!

As for where everyone is, good question! I haven't been super active myself, I guess. ^^;


@Wildfire: Yeah, and this vine was on the "dark" side of the filing cabinet in my room for a while, and I think that did it. Even though it gets plenty of light now--I'm sure it does because the other vines are gloriously marbled--it was too late. I'm going to lose a lot of distance on that vine but I think it's worth it to get it back to it's swirly glory. :3

And omg I *love* the giant ones so much. I'm sad because at the barn my roommate boards her house, there's a tree that was super overgrown with pothos and it was so cool, but they've been cleaning up the property and cut back most of it. There's still a lot in the yard but those huge leaves are so cool to me!

Pothos is my favorite plant at the moment; I have three varieties, my very favorite being my N'Joy, which is like splotchy dark green and white. It's sooo pretty and it's finally starting to grow out some. :D

Lol the crazy wind the other day blew all the catkins (apparently that's what the pollen thingies are called) out of our tree. I know the air quality still sucks but at least it's not as bad dropping pollen everywhere!


@Wildfire: Ah, fun stuff lol. But stuff that's gotta be done!

I might try to do some plant maintenance today. Several of my plants are overdo for some work. I think I'm going to have to sacrifice the longest vine on my Marble Queen Pothos because sadly the pretty white swirling on the leaves has reverted to plain green on that one. But hopefully cutting it back will encourage more of the swirled leaves to grow. :)

Other than that I'm tempted to play something myself. Haven't played any of my games in a while. Not sure what I want to play though! I haven't checked on Core Keeper in a while so maybe that, or maybe Stardew Valley...


@Wildfire: Lol the texture is very fun to play with!

I think our houseguest is making shepherd's pie tonight. I plan to make chicken and yellow rice tomorrow. Not sure beyond that!

What are you up to today?


Lmao that's okay, sometimes my phone does that too. It happens!

The photo is of my late best friend, a cute one where she's holding up a sign she drew of her hugging the Ninja Turtles very tightly with "They're mine! All mine!" captioned on it. It's adorable hahaha. I'm going to frame it. I have a handful of physical photos and they're I think entirely ones I got as freebies from Walgreens. :)

This is Sally Hansen's second year doing Peeps nail polishes; last year they were regular flat polishes and one glitter, but this year they're the same colors (mostly) but they're textured to look like your nails are sugar coated. They're really cute! I can't stop fidgeting with my nails because of the texture haha. I got the pink and the blue this time; I'm getting them a couple at a time 'cause they're almost $6 a piece so they add up fast.



I'm doing pretty good; spent more than I would have liked at the grocery store (we needed stuff but I don't have my food stamps yet) but other than that had a pretty good day. :)


@wildfire: 70? It was 84 degrees here when I considered going earlier in the day lol! I did end up going though eventually. Picked up my photo print (a freebie I got by getting their ads in my email) and a couple of the Peeps nail polishes from this year's line because I have a problem lmao. :)

Well the good news is yesterday I got some motivation and did a little of my long overdue plant maintenance!

Bad news is I haven't done squat today.

I thought about walking up to Walgreens to pick up my photo print and get out of the house but waaaah, it's hooooot.

So so far I'm just sat here at the computer. :P


@Wildfire: Glad you had a nice day! :D

Nah, my day was pretty boring to be honest. Highlight was chatting with my mom this morning though; always nice to hear her voice. :) I went back to bed after that and accidentally slept til 3pm (home alone today) soooo...

I did learn that the county's bus pass is being made available on virtual wallets! So I might be able to finally get a "Flamingo" card and get the disbility pass loaded on it to give me a little more freedom. The main thing keeping me from that was the fact that I had to go to one of only a few bus stations that sold the stupid card in order to get it in the first place, which without my own transportation was kinda... tricky. So hopefully this'll make it so I can get around the area a little better on my own sometimes.


@Wildfire: It was a simple meal, roast beef, carrots and potatoes. :) And yay popcorn! I actually bought some recently for the first time in years myself.

Sorry you didn't sleep well but I hope you had a nice time with your friend!


Roast turned out delicious. :D

@Wildfire: Hope you managed to get through dinner okay!

@Wildfire: Hope you managed to get through dinner okay!


@Wildfire: Oh for sure, it's a costume piece but I think I can still get away with wearing it sometimes anyway, lol.

Anyway how are you doing today? I just put a roast in the oven. One of my favorite things to make!

Wildfire:
@CooperationIsKey: LOL "Dork without an audience!" XD <3 Photos or not, how do you like the shirt, now that you have it and can touch it, feel it, and wear it?

If you've got no particular place to go, don't have to be there at a specific time, etc., I can see where your sleep schedule could get messed up. Mine tends to stray a bit without that absolute kind of structure too. But if it doesn't bother you and doesn't affect your daily reality, there's no harm in it, right? If it does bother you, then you could try enforcing a more regular pattern upon yourself ... set a reminder alarm "it's time for bed" kind of thing...

Kiddo who moved seems to be doing well, but it's hard to tell if he's pushing himself too far with the cold, for example, and apparently they're having a lot of issues with the animals freezing, etc., this year... :(


Shirt is more or less as expected; it's polyester so it's not the nicest thing I've owned, but it looks good. :) (Still haven't taken a proper photo though lmao.)

Yeah, it's really not a big deal most of the time, mostly just the occasional "I've got an appointment tomorrow I need to go to bed now" that's kinda hard sometimes. I sleep too much as it is (fighting depression tooth and nail) so that's not usually a problem though. :P

Oh that's awful with the animals freezing, gosh, that's gotta be hard to witness and deal with. I do hope he's doing well regardless!


@Wildfire: Without school or work for 'structure' I have a hard time holding to a healthy sleep schedule.

But yes, shirt came! I was going to take photos today modeling it (tried last night but our house is too darn dark) but my roommate and our houseguest were home aaaaaall day so I'm waiting until I can be a dork without an audience lol.

How are you doing? And how's the kiddo who made the big move?
