In the past few weeks I’ve been working on planting some flowers in pots and window boxes as well as starting a small container garden. I really, really do not have a green thumb, at all. I can kill even the easiest plants to keep alive (marigolds) so this has been quite an adventure.
I will say that so far, my basil plant hasn’t died and is actually doing quite well. I also have a jalapeno plant, thyme, and cilantro planted with it. I have no idea if all of that stuff is okay together, but so far so good. I’ve been looking online for a good natural way to remove pests, as something seems to be nibbling on my jalapeno plant. I can’t tell if its little bugs on it or if the rabbit / other critters in our backyard are coming up to it at night.
For the past 5 days I’ve been taking Adderall (an ADHD medication) in the morning. Wow, what a difference, and it’s only 5mg of it. I honestly had a lot of trouble before getting on it, that just a little pill could help me that much. I can actually do my work now, in about half the time due to not getting distracted and walking around, staring out the window, surfing the Internet, etcetera. The only thing that worries me about being on it, is I don’t want to become 100% dependent on it. But so far, things have been good with me taking it. I start taking 10mg of it in another 5 days, so we’ll see how that goes. I don’t want to be zombie-like!
On a completely different note, I have an embarassing confession to make. I have never cooked anything in my entire life past cupcakes and macaroni and cheese (from the box). Yesterday, I decided with being 22 years old and all I should probably change that. So, I looked up an easy recipe on Weight Watchers website and started cooking. I made spinach, mozarella, and ricotta cheese wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. This may not sound like a lot, but I had to mix all of it in a bowl, fill the tortillas, then bake it. Hey, you have to start somewhere! Anyways, I was a little worried how it would turn out but it was actually really good. My parents loved it as well as Tom. Now, I have the cooking bug and am going to try to find something else to make that’s pretty easy.
