Redirecting My Energy

       I am currently laying in bed stuffing my face with some kettle chips made in avocado oil. I bought them yesterday and ate half the bag as I walked home from work. Walking took an hour and it was a good time to walk. There was a nice breeze and the sun was setting. I got home, took a shower, and went straight in the bed.
     This morning I made myself a bowl of honey nut o’s cereal to be on time for the 11:30 A.M. online church service. I didn't set my alarm and slept about 12 hours. I think I deserve the extra sleep time after cashiering all week during the pandemic. I have also been in a lot of pain this week from my chipped tooth that I need to get pulled. I haven't had the money to take care of it. It’s a year and a half past its due date. To go to the dentist right now means I would have to get virus tested before even getting seen. God knows I’m not into it. I pray that God gives me the strength to carry on and survive this mess. My two weeks stay cation went really fast. I enjoyed it minus all the worries about the future.  I needed that time as a refresh yet I wish I had more time minus the worries of course.  I want to work from home on good terms.  I want to focus on my passions in life.  ​

     After church I worked on my garden for almost 5 hours. The time went so fast. I had planted some seeds in small pots and I realized it was taking up too much space. I repotted them in a seed starting tray. The first  and second rows are tri colored peppers. The 3rd row is a mix of peppers and green peas. The 4th row is green peas. The 5th row is apple seeds. The 6th row is orange seeds.  On the other side of the tray I planted 3 rows of alfalfa. I still have some space in between to plant more seedlings, but I was tired.  I also replanted my strawberry plants so all 3 are together. I replanted my cucumber. I replanted my cantaloupe. I replanted my kale. Some mold spores tried attacking my potatoes so I got rid of the spores. I repositioned the pot so it gets more sunlight and air flow. The potatoes are growing green leaves. I replanted my beans so it has space to grow against the railing. I replanted my onions with my garnet yam and ginger. I don't really know what I’m doing with this whole gardening thing. I pray that God blesses my garden.

     This is Malibu the Maltipoo after her bath I gave her today.  She looks rather sleepy after resisting me grooming her for roughly an hour.  She's almost 10 years old. She is quite the handful. She has always gotten into messes, begs for food, steals food, and resists every routine.  If I pull her one direction she goes the other direction. If she doesn't get a snack she pees. Disobedience has been the norm for her. It's really sad. Maybe if she were more obedient I would take her on outings more often. She is blessed to have a patient and loving owner like myself. She thinks she owns me and doesn't even greet me when I come home from work. It's okay though. She's cute and licks me sometimes...even if it is just for food.  She's my fur baby and I love her.
