Growing things.....



I am so excited! I planted my first tree!!! It's a baby but I planted it. It's my summer project. We need more landscaping in our yard...this is a first. Now my dh and I can watch it grow. I'll have to nurture it some this summer since I planted it in late spring (due to the surgery and my six week intense class I had no time). So far, everything else I've planted around the house over the years has done pretty good so I figured I could handle "babying" a tree. So, if the tree survives...I'll be willing to plant more...if not, then I'll have to call in the professionals. Haa!
I've also been dabbling with growing a small garden. I planted two pepper plants and two cucumber plants. So far, they are growing! Those veggies are so expensive to buy at the store. Now we'll have some fresh ones. Hopefully, by growing my own....I'll eat them. I need an incentive to eat more veggies...so here I go.
I haven't had any more migraine attacks since last Sat. I do have some food allergies that cause migraines and stomach upset...so I'm thinking I ate something at the grad party. Thankfully, it all passed quickly. I just have to be careful with what I eat. hmmm.....
As a quick update on the cat....I brought him in for his first ster.oid shot yesterday. The dr asked when the last time he vomited and I answered "not since last Wednesday" so the dr said that since the cat has been feeling better....he wouldn't get the shot. As far as the disease is concerned...it's called "cor.ona" virus or something like that. He got exposed to it from another cat...either from the human.e soc.iety where we adopted him from or the other home who had given him up. It's passable from cat to cat. He's asymptomatic right now but if it ever reared it's ugly head...it's lethal and the cat wouldn't survive (steroi.ds would slow down the process but death is likely). The vet said that Bubby may never have any issues. I hope not. He's our baby and I hope I won't have to see him suffer. He is such an awesome kitty. Just so much fun and playful. Since we don't have children...he's been named our "cat son". We can't have any other cats since he has that disease too so he's an only "child". I don't think he minds.
No cycle news to talk about. Waiting to see if AF comes this weekend and next week it's time to start the inject.ibles, etc. Lord willing...there will be good results. I hope I can handle the meds since my body is so sensitive. I'm putting it in the Lord's hands...He'll get me through this and give me strength...plus I have a wonderful and supportive dh. I'm in good hands.
Blessings to all of you!
BTW: Last night we talked about journaling in my class...I said I journaled but nothing about the blog. I don't need some nosey women lurking around...most of them have children and I know a few wonder about me. One lady told me that I was going to be a "bad" teacher because I don't have children. I wanted to knock her a good one but I bit my lip. I should have prayed for her (I know) but instead I fumed. How f$$$###*** ignorant! I know one day I am going to be a fantastic teacher. I know God is 100% on board with this. :)

  1. You are going to be a fantastic teacher. You are right, some people are so ignorant. Glad your kitty is feeling better.
    Some of the best teachers are the ones who have no children of their own. This might change very soon for you though. We will keep our hope in the Lord and he will guide both of our paths.

  2. I forgot to tell you that I love your tree. We all need something to nurture!

  3. I think it's that other woman who's going to be a bad something or other. Why do people think that to work with or care for children you must have children? I don't get the logic. There are quite a few people I know with children who are doing a pretty lousy job.

  4. Ya I know but this particular woman is pretty self-righteous. She always brags about her daughters (she has 4). I probably wouldn't want her children in my class anyway...some parents can be a BIG pain...I bet she's one of them unless of course....she's all talk. :) So far...tree and garden are doing well...woohoo!
