I haven't had a super fun day.

I haven't had a super fun day. I've been vomiting and running to the toilet frequently since about 5 this morning.

Shaun had some stomach upset the other day, but he hasn't thrown up in the 17 years we've been together, so I don't know if I caught a bug from him or if my dinner last night just didn't agree with me.

I just had some chicken noodle soup with crackers and Sprite. Just a little to see if I can hold it down. Wish me luck.

I didn't do any plant stuff today, but it's been windy and rainy, so I probably wouldn't have, anyway.

I just finished removing and redoing...

I just finished removing and redoing the hard gel overlay that had on when I was fired almost a month ago.

It was super grown out and starting to lift. I have plants to repot on Monday when my dirt arrives.

I might be slipping, y'all.

Maybe I'll get Shaun's nails taken care of tomorrow.

Look.

Look. I have been trying my best, but this is what my Ponytail Palm looks like. 😬 I feel so bad for it. I've killed several over the years. 😭 This is the longest I've kept one alive (which hasn't been long, unfortunately), but just look at it! 🫠

Harley likes to mess with it, so I've moved it to the greenhouse to see if it'll be happier without a cat chewing on it.

I trimmed its ponytail because it was so brown, and this is how it's growing back. 😂 It looks awful. This plant is clearly in middle school. 😂😂😂

I have concerns about it being in the greenhouse because it'll be getting more light and less humidity, which could contribute to the leaves browning. I don't think I've over watered it. If anything, I may be underwatering. I think I'm gonna put it on the shelf of plants that need more water and less light and see how that goes.

Paws crossed that I can get it feeling better. I feel so guilty, like I'm abusing this poor thing.

Shaun took a picture of Bear earlier and said he looked like a business man, so he edited the picture.

He's lookin' like an attorney or something. 😂 Y'all please caption this. 😂😂😂

I really wanted to spend some time in the greenhouse today, but it was super windy and dusty, so I watered the plants who needed it and called it a day.

I have plans to repot a couple of things, but I won't have everything that I use in my dirt mix for a few more days, so I guess it mostly didn't matter that I couldn't hang out there today.

The two Anacampseros (with the pink flowers) bloomed today. They are super cute.

I almost lost my 2 trailing plants in the bottom of the picture because the pots were too big. They've been downsized and seem to be doing better.

Also, the cactus on the bottom right has a cluster of buds forming, as well as a few pups.

The cactus in the top left has buds forming.

In the center-ish, between the yellow/gold cacti, that little fuzzy dude has an orange bud.

Of course, I love the pretty pink flowers throughout this tray.

Bottom Right: I think my Feather Cactus has some tiny pups!

The red bud forming on my Monkey Tail. I find this to be funny, but it'll look nicer when it blooms. 😂
