I went to Megan's and got logged on at her place, but couldn't bring up any of the messages. Or maybe if I'd waited a half hour for each entry...
Anyway, I came home and turned of the power source, and let everything sit for awhile. When I came back, and turned on the power bar, then the computer, I was actually able to log on and, so far, have been able to read some messages. But it takes forever for each item to come up.
I've come to the conclusion that the problem lies with the CPU, not my ISP. What to do next is something I need to figure out.
The weather has been gorgeous, but the weatherman says we're going to have a day of rain later in the week. OK, one day a week I can handle.
I potted some marigolds the other day. They smell terrible, but they're so cheerful looking. The palm tree seems to be holding it's own, and the jade plant cuttings are doing well. My spider plants need some tlc, and maybe some plant food, and the asparagus fern is freshening up. It always dies back a bit in the winter and looks a little pathetic. I have no place inside to bring tender plants, and I'm always grateful to them when they survive the winter on the patio.
I have two plants that are called cactus, but they don't really look like cactus. One is supposed to bloom at Thanksgiving and the other is supposed to bloom at Christmas. Well, they've bloomed, but not when I can identify them as Thanksgiving or Christmas. I had the pots marked when they were mere cuttings, but since they've been repotted, I don't remember which is supposed to be which, and until they oblige me by blooming at the correct time, I'll just have to call them my healthy, green potted plants.
I need to get busy and start cleaning my kitchen and pantry for Passover. Not a job I'm looking forward to, but it has to be done. And I'd better get on my taxes too. Haven't figured out yet how I can avoid paying again this year, so I keep putting off the job, and if I don't get with it, I'll be paying penalties on top of that.
Procrastination thy name is....Me.
Shalom
