Too complicated to explain in such a limited space...basically, I have ADHD, a million hobbies, and if I think about something new for 5 seconds too long I will become obsessed. It's a thing.

Had a random plant come up in my balcony garden. My plant ID app can't decide if it's cucumber, pumpkin, or some form of squash. I didn't plant any of those this year. Last year I tossed a bunch of random seeds into the space though so....yay plant adventure! 🌱

I've been up since 3 in the morning so I'm too tired to properly rant but... an emojicast? Are they trying to appeal to 8 year olds?

I've been paranoid about stinging nettle for days while weeding. I let down my guard while weeding around a catnip plant.
This was the incorrect thing to do.

Picked up a banana houseplant and a small coffee houseplant (which is actually a bunch of small coffee trees crowed together) for just €10! Can't argue with that.

According to Jaffa this means walking on top of sleeping humans in the middle of the night, post-poop zoomies, and sitting facing a corner looking at nothing at all.
