houseplants, housekeeping
My Begonia is flowering, against all odds and despite my best efforts. I dislike Begonia flowers, they look too artificial. So I grow them as house-plants for the lovely leaves. I fertilize them with the "wrong" fertilizer, one designed to encourage leaf growth (higher in Nitrogen.) However, with the increase in sunlight, the tallest one put out a cluster of pink shell-like flowers two or three days ago. One fell off when I moved it, so now it is floating in an egg-cup on my altar.
I am spending today finishing up the few house-cleaning tasks I didn't finish yesterday, and doing more job hunting. Both of which are frusterating. I wanted the house clean for poly_good_girl when she got home, so I did dishes and vaccuumed and such. What's left is my room. It never gets too bad, because I like my space tidy, but with shoes_the_dog here for four days, it was pretty touseled. Mostly, I need to fold and put away clean clothes. I hate laundery. I really dislike tasks that don't stay done. I fold the same clothes every week, and every time I think "What the hell? Didn't I just put this garment away? What is it doing out again?" I prefer creative projects that are done once they are done. I don't even mind maintenance, like mucking out the barn; at least I'm shoveling different shit instead of the same shit.
