Later, each morning, but not by leaps and bounds. It was 10:30 this morning. Later yesterday morning, but I stayed up later yesterday night. I just want to make it to the post office, which closes at noon. I think I can.
I've emptied the tub and taken clean clothes in for a shower. As well, I took the house plants in. I won't soak them today, I'll just let them enjoy the moisture in the air. They seem to like that. More so as the world dries out around here. What I am picking up is another plant. Technically you could use it as tea, the leaves. My guess is, to raise enough to be useful, you'd... well... it wouldn't work well here. I suppose some teas would take little preparation, others take long fermentation, sometimes several, drying, hand rolling or other processing, and time... days to years maybe? So, for me, it's just a plant... assuming it survives.
Why plants? As much for a bit of green as for air filtration. And a bit of a hobby. I'll have to clean out the pots ever few years, if I want to keep these plants longer term. And I can, in time, spread these plants into other pots. As pricey as they really are, transplanting is the way to go. Buy once, spread them around, so that if one happens to die, I won't be clean out. Through this next year I would like to find a few more, and make places around the cave that are more suitable to them. As well, I'd like to, when it for sure warms up, start with a wall hanging planter and herbs. If I clean out the back hall, the herbs would fit well out there, with full sun in the mornings, at least... which is more than enough until they get larger, perhaps ready to be transplanted into planters I might bring in for the winter... see if I can keep them viable, somehow, through the winter... near a furnace vent, with grow lights, or such.
I best get going. I don't think I will do much today. I'm still in rough shape. Now, I think, it's the heating. This will be the last weather issue for the summer. Once I get used to the heat(ing), I'll have a time where I can work. Then, as deep summer arrives, I'll have to hide away, maybe doing things inside, in the shade and air conditioning. Until fall, and I get to... yeah. I don't get as much of any season as most, and less of deep winter or summer... if any. I use what I can, how I can, and just cling the rest of the time. Not bad for someone who simply should have been dead longer ago than most even graduate students have been alive. Living on my own? Yeah... you won't be that lucky. Lucky? Ha! I slay me.
Later.
