One thing I will miss when I have a new job, is this weekday off thing. I do enjoy the solitary slow feeling of a weekday. I can feel productive because I am off the radar. Of course, today's grand projects generally involve waiting for other people. I am waiting for both comcast and crate&barrel. One is to fix something, one is to deliver something.
My tomato plants have blossoms! It's so glorious to see this. I grew them from seed and now they are 2.5 feet tall and blossoming. I am worried about their health, but after lots of
reasearch, I have decided to give them some milk. This will be something I do later on this evening, as it's best to feed, water etc in the twilight hours. Today the humidity is low, so HOPEFULLY all my plants will dry out a bit. The heavy rains and humidity have made it jungle out there, and for some of my plants, especially the toms, that's hell.
I also got some houseplant clippings from marion. Today they go into pots. I also have to harvest more basil, so that P and I can make pesto balls. We make pesto and roll them up into little balls, or place in ice cube trays, and freeze them. Then when we want pesto, we just plop one out. Such a pleasant way to store my basil.
I also plan to make popsicles, with the lovely popsicle mold that Drew gave us for our wedding.
I have already scanned the contest listings today for poetry contests, and nothing seemed enticing. This means today is a good day for writing and putting things together. I also have a few other dreams:
put together a book of my zines
buttons buttons buttons
redo my website
These things call for a bit of strategery and a meeting with my cohort, Patrick.
There are also some business things to deal with, involving invoices and phone calls.
I want to do a photo update of my plants and life, so you soon.
