I've got a nice little cold going on right now, and I am trying to remain positive, you know, so I'm eating lots of soup and toast with avocado and double-bagging green tea in giant mugs.
Things have been sporadic. I've been trying to get some stuff down, prepping and thinking and figuring out how to remain human and I am nervous and excited and easily spooked right now, so I'm running out into traffic a lot and stress-ordering Old Navy clearance items, even though we've had this intervention many a time before. I don't like the store clearance sections, because I get way too excited and then pull the garment out and it is stained, snagged and worn by two generations prior to being returned to the nearest Old Navy store. "That's either poop or hot chocolate and I'm not going to smell it."
The other day someone asked me why all I talk about right now is GARDENS/HEIRLOOM TOMATOES/DETERMINATE-INDETERMINATE/EGGSHELLS/EPSOM SALTS/SEED STARTING KITS and the answer is because I am trying to remember, ahead of time, that there are reasons to enjoy the spring and summer beyond the main thing I'm stressed out about. That growing some of my own food is something I am very excited about, and no matter what happens, I still get to do that.
But I would love to have to ask a few people to step in and weed and water for a bit. So let's do what we need to do.
"That's either poop or hot chocolate and I'm not going to smell it." Hahahahahahahahaha! I love it.
