I’m wide awake. I’d rather be asleep but I’m having horrible allergies today. Spent a lot of time outside and the trees are greening up and flowering and I’m getting crazy spring allergies. Even with medication. I spent my outside time working on one of my gardens, this year I want to have two, one just for flowers and plants, the other for vegetables, fruits and herbs. I planted two hydrangeas and moved a bunch of plants to a different area. I don’t really have that much garden space so I have to be creative. I am so alive when I work outside in the dirt and warm air. My depression is not as bad this time of year, it lifts for a few months so I really need to take advantage of this. This year I want to learn how to make jam and pickles. I have seen these little garden journals before and maybe this will be the year I use one. It would be good for referencing in the following years, what worked, what didn’t. How the plants did. Last year my pepper plants all were destroyed by some creature. I wage war on the squirrels defending my sunflowers. This year I will win. Gonna have to get these allergies under control first. Time to go back to two daily meds and benadryl as needed.

Im glad that your garden makes you happy! It sounds wonderful. You might be able to find some ideas to keep the pests away online. I know hanging a pie tin on a stick helps with birds and animals they dont like the sound it makes when there is a breeze it scares them off. I knew an indian man that did this and it seemed to work for him.
I hope your allergies get under control they can really suuuuckk.
That sounds like something I should try, thanks Tired.
Youre welcome hope it helps
I’m awake for yet another night, feeling progressively more chaotic.
I’ve never made jam or pickles before, so that sounds fun.
Also, a garden journal sounds fun.
Gardening is so nice. It keeps your mind of things. Spring is a nice time for that. Sleeping is a problem. Lately it’s worse. But I still have a little hope it will get better.
Ugh. Cordless. Hope you get some good sleep soon. I should have been knocked out by my double allergy med attack by now. No such luck. At least I don’t feel itchy anymore.
I should have been knocked out by all the meds I just took, yet here I am.
Side effects of the meds supposedly include “drowsiness”, which apparently my brain just laughs at.
Meds: “Here I am! Time to be sleepy!”
Brain: “HA ha haahha ha. That’s hilarious. sit down over there.”
Meds: “But it’s almost 2:30 in the—”
Brain: “Sit down before I tie you up with duct tape and replay memories of all that crap that happened in grade school. I have 3rd grade on file right now, about 5 hours worth, which would take us to sunrise again…”
Meds: “Ok OK. Not drowsy. Not sleepy at all. See? Wide awake.” (*sits down slowly*)
Me: “Wait, which one of you is on my side?”
Gahh I wanna garden so bad! I have no place at my apartment but if I move some where with the space in so gonna do it!
I know exactly what you’re talkin about, or when you want or need to stay awake you can’t lmao, pretend you have to stay awake until 3:00
