All caught up with schoolwork. Woohoo! I sit and celebrate with Martini & Rossi – BFF for life, okay? I am looking forward to a good night’s rest and tomorrow after work I will be kidnapping Becky and taking her to the Pumphouse maybe.
For now I want to introduce everyone to Betha. My house plant. Everyone, including the Dillon’s “plant” guy says these plants have a short life span but Lookie! she is still alive.
We’ve had a couple scares already. First, around the third month when she started getting taller than what the specs label said she should be she started leaning. I guessed it was because she was attracted to the light coming from the window. I got a skewer stick and stuck it beside her to keep her growing straighter but soon enough she got taller than the skewer stick. Then after I started classes I sorta forgot to water her and she started drying up. I stuck her under the faucet and almost broke the top bloom. I secured it with a string for the night and the next day she was good as new. So a little bit of care, we’re still in business.
BTW, I named her Betha which is a name of Celtic origin meaning life. Just because she has lasted so long. Her normal life expectancy would only have been a month or two, and here we are going on 4 months. I would be happy if she makes it through the winter season.
