My cherry
I don’t have a house or a yard but I’m trying to grow some tomatoes on my balcony. And look!
They have all been green for weeks but the first cherry tomato is finally turning cherry. It is very exciting.
My chamomile and basil are doing okay, but I couldn’t get my lavender, rosemary, thyme or mint to sprout. I’m gonna try again with new seeds.
So I guess this is what happens when you get old and you’re boring and also you have no one. Your life becomes about birds and plants.
Covid update: I am feeling better. Like a real person again. Complete 180 from even just a few days ago. I continue testing positive but I barely have any symptoms left.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m a big wuss, or extremely unhealthy (maybe both?), but it hit me hard. I felt so miserable. the medicine I got made a huge difference, I managed to avoid infecting the boys (and my dad), and I was able to take sick days at work. so all things considered, I am pretty lucky. still wish I hadn’t gotten it.
I’m trying to think what was worse, shingles or covid. They were both so awful. Maybe covid was worse? at least with shingles I got some good painkillers.
