Hi, everybody!
I’m slightly disappointed that I can’t see any of the transit of Venus because of the clouds, but not very, because I’m really, really tired, and I can look at pretty pictures online. Yay Internet!
Last night, I got a little over three hours of sleep. Why? I don’t know. While I stayed up late watching Dr. Who, when I went to bed, sleep just did not happen. After much tossing and turning, I got up, turned on the computer and wrote a bit. Then, when I went back to bed, cursing my evil brain, I went straight to sleep. However, just over three hours of sleep really isn’t enough. I still have a boatload of stuff to do tonight before I can sleep, even if I call it quits and go to bed early. Oy.
The good news is that I have had two full days of work at my current temp job, and it’s going swimmingly. There is a ton of stuff to inventory, and while data entry is not high on my list of things I love to do, earning money is. So, no complaints.
As for my garden, I left it in California. This is the first year my miniature peach tree is supposed to produce. I also planted three tomato bushes, some onions and some potatoes. The onions at least had sprouted when I’d left, and the tomatoes were putting on some inches. If they’re lucky, Mom will ignore them. If they’re not, she probably pulled them out as soon as I was gone. Why? I don’t know. Something about them being untidy. Mom needs to control the universe, because her world is so wacky, so untidy plants get the ax. Makes me sad, but I understand why she does it.
Brother has no plants at all. Not even a backyard, just a little bricked space that he never goes out to. I put a little grill out there and tried it out, but then I ran out of money. So, when I start earning, I’m buying a patio chair and a little table, and I’ll start getting some plants. Then, I’ll take them with me when I get a place of my own. sigh Some day.
There’s no blizzard or hurricane in today’s forecast.
