I spent most of the day...

I spent most of the day watering and fertilizing the greenhouse plants. I didn't do it last month, but I wasn't skipping again.

I left my phone in the house and just enjoyed my plants from 4 to 10 pm. I had to take a lamp out to finish up, but I got it done.

I hope they'll start plumping up again by morning. I'm excited to go check on them.

After the mealy bugs, the sun roasting some of them, then the mice coming in and eating/destroying about 60 of them, I was feeling really discouraged and overwhelmed. But even the chewed ones are hanging in there, thank goodness.

Well, ok, actually...

Google has it up.

Yesterday must have been too good.

Yesterday must have been too good.  I woke up at 5 am with a letdown migraine.  🫠

Last night before I went to bed, my iPhone testers were having trouble with installing the app, so I ended up putting it on the app store with TestFlight.  The app is in review by Apple for *OFFICIAL* Beta.

Since I put it on Apple late last night, I thought "Why not put it on the Google Play store for their Beta, too?  So I did that today.

I guess I am taking baby steps into this release.  I'm ok with it.  That is pretty exciting.

I hope I don't wake up with another migraine.  😆😭

I got my plants potted!

I got my plants potted! And now I'm exhausted. 😂

Those 3 cacti that are still there are intentional; they're rooting.

Here is a before and after of my potting desk:

Bear just came through...

Bear just came through and knocked over about half of my work. 😭😭😭


I went to therapy.

I went to therapy. I've been doing laundry. I've sent my app to some iPhone testers. (Still hoping to submit to the app stores next week.)

There is nothing left to do but pot these plants.

Posting to hold myself accountable. 🌱 🌵

Hey, y'all.

Hey, y'all. If you're in perimenopause and having trouble sleeping, then taking Magnesium Glycinate at night might help you.

Or you could be like the 20% of us for whom it makes things worse.

I didn't know it could be part of the problem. I skipped it last night (because of something I read on reddit), and just slept through the night for the first time IN AGES.
