After all that time trying to get them to not annoy me and their other immediate neighbors by keeping their door open while cooking stinky food, they've been very very quiet - so quiet I thought they had actually decided to quarantine elsewhere as I hadn't heard or seen them since right after the quarantine started.  Turns out they're there...just ( Read more... )

Been a while since I updated here!

So I've also been reading a blog about TBI, and researching the other little parts of my brain atop the stem that obviously got damaged and have been ignored by the doctors in favor of assuming I'm developing diabetes and thyroidism because of weight....instead of the doctors putting the pieces I've told them over the years together and noticing ( Read more... )

Signed up on the waiting list for another nearby community garden, one that doesn't allow pets at all.  'Cause fuck these special snowflakes in this building who think the building garden area is a free dog park.  Before I end up flipping one of their 'playful' (as in aggressive) darlings over the fence into the fast-running and difficult-to-get- ( Read more... )

Since the apartment owner threatened to throw anyone out who didn't clean up their porches, and figuring that he would count the bottom of an aluminum garbage can being visible below the railing, I spent today taking the vermiplanter and the half-barrel apart and putting everything away I could.  The white wire shelf and smaller pots (the mints and ( Read more... )

GARDEN: Started breaking down the container garden today, between rainshowers.  I decided since my mints were probably root-bound, to cut out a section of each and pot the pieces in small pots for the winter.  Same with my chives, and a tiny pine seedling I didn't have the heart to kill, and then I tossed the dirt.  I should probably do the same ( Read more... )
