Snapdragons will frequently overwinter like pansies, and the mums/daisies may be perennials. Water them well;, move them close to the house; and if there are some leaves handy, pile them up around the pots. Then wait until spring.
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

I think all my dead plants might be a sign that you should not listen to me. That said - a lot of things die back in the winter and come back in the spring even if they are not really supposed to. Just start watering them again when it starts to warm up, see what happens. You might put an old blanket or sheet around the ones that still seem alive to give them a little protection, or move them into a sheltered corner, or even throw some Christmas lights on them for the warmth from the bulbs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's too late now, but did I make the right call in throwing away my tomato and pepper plants?

Absent divine intervention, tomatoes and peppers will not make it through the winter in your climate.

Maybe I'll leave those plants in the planter boxes Hubby put on the front of the house. Some of them are annuals, I'm not sure if any are perennials. As I told him repeatedly, "I do not garden." I watered them until I couldn't cope and the 100 degree sun finished baking them, so I don't know if they're actually dead or stunned. I'll wait till Spring to see if they've joined the Choir Invisible.

As a local garden personality says, "It's not dead until it's warm and dead."

I talked with a person who has openings on his team. We're both not super sure I would be great for the current openings, but he wants to get headcount for another thing that is 100% in my wheelhouse. Unfortunately, I have to wait to see if that position will exist.
I mean, it's not like I want to move before Christmas anyway, so I just have to figure out how to keep doing a good job and keep my anxiety from eating me, starting with my bottom.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My mom is in the hospital. It's not all that bad- she has cellulitus in her leg, and the doctor(s) decided she needed IV antibiotics. I spoke to her, and she seems pretty good, all things considered.
Also, I whacked my leg into a cabinet this morning and it hurts.(Also starting to bruise nicely)
Monday, once again, you suck.
