I was an hour late for work this morning because I forgot to turn my alarm back on, and it was still so hard to get out of bed.

I've discovered that if you have an unusual name like Theaston White, Gmail sorts you to the spam folder.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've had things over-ripen really quickly in the bag with the banana, so that's something to consider as well...

I'm sure you're eminently employable, Theo.

I was ~20 minutes later, per usual, and was like the second person in my department here!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now I'm tempted to keep half the pears in the brown paper bag and half out, so I can properly stage their ripening.

It's possible it's not a science as such, and I should keep things simple. But that's just a rumour.

I gleefully bought three tubs of blueberries thinking they were on sale--but no, that was the blackberries. Price difference? $3/tub. Oops.

mac is adorable and a lucky kid.

I thought it was sunday for far too long this morning.

I'm trying to figure out what to send my mom for Mother's Day. Is there a site for sending pretty yet not ridiculously expensive plants? I love my mom, but I'm not spending $100 to send her an orchid.

Hey, I had a whole science fair experiment one year that was just letting bread sit out and mold It was science!

shrift, I like proflowers.com, not sure how they are on plants.

Thanks! They're a little pricier than I wanted, but not by much. I can work with that. Also, I am so lame, because now I want someone to send me an Assorted Herb Garden: [link]

Ooh, I like that. Proflowers is cheaper than most order online flowers, as far as I can tell, but nothing beats actually calling your local florist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I am back at work. Probably. It's possible this is all a dream....

OMG, plants hate me today. Or I hate them. Either way.
