Good morning, world! I have come to bear tidings of the new day! Today is Sunday, and Mother’s Day if it’s your thing. Outside is sunny and bright. The breeze hasn’t picked up, and there’s no humidity.
Alas, Florida, as a whole, still exists.
We went to Walmart yesterday and bought a bunch of food. I bought stuff to make shrimp and rice bowls this week. If I don’t buy what I want, then there’s no chance I’ll have anything other than the standard rotation of
- steak with fries
- chicken with baked potato
- fish with baked potato
- hamburger with fries
I bought one ridiculous impulse purchase: a pack of adhesive googly eyes.
Let the fun begin.
I’ve been putting eyes on things whenever Mom goes outside to smoke.
Plans for today include doing fucking nothing, then going to the Compound. I’ll probably take the terrariums out for yet another wipe down. The Apothecarium is looking really good right now, finally. Teensycola, Fern Gully, and Terra 3 are all a little too wet. Conversely, I need to add some more water to the carni-jar.
And… doing nothing has officially been cancelled.
Brian was just taking down the old satellite dish stuff and sliced his thumb up pretty badly. Mom yelled at him to not use paper towels on it to keep shit from sticking to it. I grabbed a box of band-aids and one of my bathroom towels for them to ruin while Mom tried to figure out if they needed to professional medical care. As I looked under my bathroom sink for any other kind of first aid supplies, I heard Brian say something about not having any electrical tape to close the cut. I walked back into the kitchen just in time to see Mom turn her head after looking at his hand and knew it wasn’t a DIY sort of job. She wrapped a maxi pad around Brian’s thumb and secured it with some sort of wrap bandage. They left about 10 minutes ago.
Maybe we won’t go to the Compound after all.
I hope he’s ok. Have fun with the terrariums 🙂
