Part of my love of my apartment is there is no yard work. I have recently acquired a few plants. Will see if I can keep those alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have like a 10'x10' back yard that I'm going to try to keep up this summer. We'll see how it goes! I'm just relieved that I've been told not to put anything outside until Memorial Day.

I like yard work in theory, but in practice I have always sucked at it. At this point I do not intend to try again to make it work. Next yard will either be very small, or tended to by a landscaping crew. Not happening.
I have had great success with house plants in the past, but lately that has been a massive failure too. Oh well.

But when I had an ADHD child, helping him develop his own coping mechanisms was a priority. Fortunately or unfortunately, he's so gifted in IQ and intuitiveness he was/is able to pass most classes on in-class discussion and participation, and otherwise con, bluff, or charm his way out of conforming to standards.
Oh. Oh shit. So, anyone have a link for a semi-reputable online self-test thingie for ADHD? I should probably finally take a look at it.
The con was good. Small (no surprise, it's a first-year con), but REALLY well-run, and everyone was wonderful.

It is good to hear that the con was a win. Well run and wonderful people makes it win-win.
I posted a couple pictures from my cousin's wedding yesterday in the Buffista FB area. There were a bunch of fun ones, but I controlled myself and only posted 2. They are a terrific couple and deserve the happiness they have found together.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay, good con! And yay happy couple getting married!
I like yard work but I am not particularly good at it. And I wish I had more time for it. But I like an unruly yard, more sublime than beautiful, so it sort of works out for me if not for my neighbors.

Laura, just saw the pictures. Love the tat and the sneakers. Congrats to them!

Oh, I feel super awkward about the invite now! But it would be great to meet your fam. I'm proud of your niece, it seems like she really came into her own while she was out here.

I've got just the right amount of yard for me. Sure, there is a lot more I would do if I had all the time and money in the world, but I can keep up with it as is (and be happy with it) and do incremental improvements as time and money allow.
