What I'm Reading This Week #23
Hello there! We made it to Friday. Halleluyer! Did anyone else get that collection of butt hot days earlier in the week? No thanks. Oh yeah, you know what's fun? When you're watering your plants and you're wondering why mushrooms are starting to grow in planters and you check the bottom and realize the reason you got a great deal is because there are no drainage holes. 😤 So I had to tip the planters and drill one big one not only in the 4 smaller ones, which was hard enough but also the two big 16" ones holding the clematises. Nothing like drowning your plants for 3 weeks. I mean for real, who sells those? I've never in my life bought planters that didn't have drainage holes. So there's a tip for you to make sure you check your planter bottoms before planting anything. Oh then yesterday, I went out to water after a super hot day and brought the tape out in case I saw nasties on the leaves. Well, I'll sp...
I tend to overthink all the time. Even when people are talking I sometimes get so into my thinking that I can barely focus and listen.

ReplyDeleteGah, there's a lot. But one that causes me a lot of angst is my complete lack of organization on the personal front. On the job, I'm aces and super organized. At home? Nada. Case in point, this morning. I needed to find an mailing envelope ship something. Do you think I could find the envelopes that I KNOW I have? No, I could not. Are they with all the other shipping boxes, bags, etc? Nope. Because I know my brain said to put them in a *fail-safe* place that will be easy to access and you'll always have them at the ready. That, it turns out, was a big fat lie. And here's the sad thing... it happens every time! I have some kind of mental block when it comes to finding a proper home for things and then I spend the day berating myself for being so dumb. ARGH!!! Lack of organization causes me no end to issues and yet, I'm still a slug. Pfft.
