----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bye We have decided we have to find new homes for our remaining few houseplants. It's not an easy decision. We have had some of them since 2004. We moved them from our Roch apartment on 4th street to our apartment on 5th AVE (which later became our house) to Denver and then here to Iowa. It's like having to give away children. It's also admitting defeat. Neither of us has the energy to take care of them, and we can't keep the cat away from them, either. They are all sad versions of what they used to be. Except the spider plant. The one we had since the late 90s didn't survive the move from Denver to here, but I bought a new one from eBay and it's doing OK. It's hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen, so it's got sun and I remember to water it and the cat can not get to it...it's the only one we're going to keep. Not sure why everything has to be so fucking dramatic. It feels like a loss and a big change. There's not enough time left in my life and I have to start cutting things out and it's depressing as fuck. 2:36 PM - Thursday, Feb. 23, 2023 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
