Small steps

I moved the plant, re-potted it. All by myself.

 

Monkey helped me pick the pot, but since we only have adult size gardening gloves, I was the one to actually re-pot it.

 

I feel compelled to point out that I have never ever done anything like this before. I wouldn't have even known how to go about doing it. Like, do you just get the root-bound cluster of soil from the old container and stick it into the middle of the pre-filled pot? Luckily, the bag of the potting mix had instructions right on it, and I followed them. There is truly a first time for everything.

 

I didn't notice the new buds until this morning.

 

There is three of them, and I am suddenly ever so slightly more invested in not having killed the plant in the process of re-potting it. I guess we will know soon enough.


I am taking a sick day tomorrow. I have been stressed and overwhelmed, and have had a common condition of pregnancy (arrhythmia) act up that can be aggravated by being tired or dehydrated. I am usually pretty well hydrated, but I will work on floating myself while getting up as little as possible tomorrow. Can be tricky, what with a somewhat predictable need to, throughout the day, let all that water go, but I think I will manage. I have been in a much more cheerful mood since deciding to take the day. Go figure. And I hope to write a real post then, and to catch up with everyone's blogs.
