I guess all of my anxious dogs are dead.

I guess all of my anxious dogs are dead. Booka and Faith didn't whine or make a fuss despite some very noisy fireworks going off nearby. Boo is getting hard of hearing so I doubt he heard much.

Different New Year, for sure.

Yesterday at Wal-Mart...

Yesterday at Wal-Mart I rounded a corner and came face to face with a guy holding a Coke. This was our exchange:

Me:  Excuse me.
Guy:  Roll Tide!
Me:  Thank you.
🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂

Plant updates! 😍

Plant updates! 😍

This has just about gotten all it can from its mother leaf. I might put him in a tiny pot alone soon!

Fuzzy Chocolate Soldier babies appearing, and another baby who's about ready for his own teensy pot!

It's really hard to see in this crappy photo, but those two tufts are light green rather than white. I hope it's new cactus growth since these are just sad pieces that came from a rotten cactus. I know for sure that several are rooting, so paws crossed!

Not sure if that's a baby or a bloom growing from the middle of the large plant, but whatever it is, it's definitely new growth! ❤️

My day wasn't bad.

My day wasn't bad. Depression didn't get me. Shaun and I worked together around the house and got some things done. I still have a few days of work left to do on my list, but I'll get there.

I really really miss school. I'm sure my brain needs the break, but I think about the stuff I've learned as well as next semester every day. I'm probably going to see which books I will need in just a minute and get those on the way.

Also, I was in Jacksonville the other day with a friend and saw the new student rec center. HOLY WOW, it's huge. I can't wait to go check it out!

Later, friends! I hope all is well!

Depression has been tryna get me for a few days now.

Depression has been tryna get me for a few days now. I don't want it. I think I'm not cut out for "down time." I'm about to drag my ass down this ladder and out of bed. I'm determined not to sit down until I get some things done so I can feel better.

The 3 replacement plants arrived healthy and happy...

The 3 replacement plants arrived healthy and happy. Now it's bath time for all! They are going to soak while I try to nap away a headache. Easiest kids ever! 🙂


We didn't have nearly enough time together.

We didn't have nearly enough time together. I miss the shuffle she would do when she was excited, with her no-legs having self.

It's funny; she knew she was my dog long before I did. ❤️

Not done, but closer.

Not done, but closer.

Before you judge me, yes - some look janky. There is a website that sells the "needs some TLC" plants for half off. OBVIOUSLY, I went for that deal. 😂 Also, they do need a bath, but I'm waiting until the rest arrive on Monday so they can all be on the same schedule. 😃


Tillandsia corner in progress.

Tillandsia corner in progress.

I would like a nicer rod to hang my jellyfish on. This was the first thing I found in my closet, though. I also need a few more containers and hooks. I actually have 3 replacement plants on the way because one company sent me 3 dead ones. 🙁 So I will have a full corner by Monday. I'm planning to hang quite a few more. 😃

Since Denise asked...

Since Denise asked... here are pictures of my succulents. I'll get to the air plants and moss balls maybe this week. 😂😂😂

6-8 month old Lithops. The bottom left one is splitting, so we'll see new leaves soon! The top right one is wrinkly because he's a little thirsty, but his pot mates are not. I've seen them much wrinklier, so he's ok for now.

More 6-8 month old Lithops. I really like the one who looks like a brain. 🧠

Kalanchoe millotii - I couldn't find a common name for her.

Silver Dollar Jade

Aloe Vera

Little Warty? I'm not sure. He came from Lowe's.

Zebra Plant

Ming Thing

Random leaves I'm trying to propagate from. The one at the top of the ring of leaves has a barely visible white root. Also, the smallest round nub looks like it's trying. The others, nothing yet. I can probably toss the yellow leaf - it's from an over-watered plant. But it's just there for now. No harm.

I honestly don't know what these are. Help appreciated. LOL
Updated: Golden Sedum

Thimble Cactus

Jade Plant

Gollum

Balloon Cactus

Old Lady Cactus

Blue Barrel Cactus

I don't know, but most of the leaves I'm trying to propagate from are from this plant. The cats were playing with it before I moved it to my bedroom.

Eve's Needle

I don't know. Hen and Chicks, maybe?

Chocolate Soldier. That leaf on the dirt has roots and the start of a tiny plant. I'm excited!

Alpenglow? I'm not sure. This came from Lowe's. It was over-watered. I changed its dirt a while back and hopefully it'll be ok.

Copper King

Bunny Ears Cacti. This is the one I bought from Wal-Mart that had rotted completely, so I took all of the pads and stuck them in dirt to try to propagate. Several have roots forming, so that wasn't a total loss. Also, the long thin pads aren't typical. This plant also received too little sun and was trying its best to catch some rays.

Echeveria Dark Knight

Purple Delight

This fell off a Lowe's plant and now it's having a baby!

Echeveria Lola

Watch Chain - my tiny freebie from Wal-Mart.

Mother of Millions - Pink Butterflies variety

Echeveria Neon Breaker

So far...

So far, 12 of my plant booty seeds have sprouted.
😁😁😁

Ok, y'all.

Ok, y'all. Anyone who is interested in adopting a baby from my Mother of Millions might have to wait a while. She arrived yesterday and is just a baby herself! 😍😍😍


Also, check out the root legs on this little piece of cactus. That's the first thing I've ever propagated on my own. That little piece came from a nearly rotten Wal-Mart cactus. I repotted the plant and put the pieces that broke off aside to see if they would grow roots. Then today I noticed his teensy root legs, with his little Plankton - looking self. 😂😂😂

I feel like I'm killing my black thumb right now, and I'm SO DOWN WITH THAT. I'm really enjoying learning about plants!

Got the result of her Pipida scan.

Got the result of her Pipida scan. Kira has a lot of gallstones. 😢 She has a consultation with a surgeon next week. Poor kid.

Shadow auditioned for the GSCC show choir today, and it sounds like it went well. We're hoping he gets a scholarship! He's starting college this Spring! I'm so happy and proud! 😁😁😁

I've been obsessing since Wednesday...

I've been obsessing since Wednesday. Now I can finally say:  Happy Birthday, teensy one! 💚🌱💚 Hopefully more will follow suit soon!

Speaking of age... I found out that the fully developed babies they sent me were only 6-8 months old! They are legit still babies, too! 😍😍😍


Well, I guess I'm trapped. 😂😂😂

Well, I guess I'm trapped. 😂😂😂 Need to clean his eye booger, but I don't want to wake him.

This plant is so cool...

This plant is so cool (not only because of how neat it looks), but because all the buds fall off and actually make new plants.  It's called "Mother of Millions" because it reproduces so prolifically.  I want one... but I also don't think I could handle a million plant babies.

IF I GOT ONE... show of hands, who would adopt my plant babies?  (I'm not opposed to mailing buds, so this question isn't limited to people near me.)


Tfw you're in a succulent group...

Tfw you're in a succulent group and someone posts this and your mind reads "SOP" as "Sum of Products" but you know that can't be right. Thank you, Computer Organization and Architecture. 😂😂😂
