Since I got that computer virus, a while ago, I haven’t been able to use the computer as often as I’d like to. Plus life just has been really busy lately. My son is getting older as am i, and there are just more things I have to take care of on a daily basis. Actually have to take care of, alongside all the things I want to do. There are lots of things on the internet I need to keep up though, which takes up some time as well. Like the organizations I’m involved in, all my email addresses, certain diarys i have going, and communicating with friends. Through IM (which is not often anymore at all) or websites.

This is definitely one of my addictions though (internet). I love to type, i love interacting, and the internet gives me some effortless opportunities to do that. Hey being on the computer is not so bad. I could think of worse things that could take up my time. And i’m glad i’m not into them and on here every once in a while.

I’m soooo tempted to buy more plants whenever I go to Garden departments! Even though it’s hard enough remembering to water Olive. What is WRONG with me??? I know I have a shopping addiction… but I think alongside that is a deep rooted ‘care-giving’ addiction as well. Or… err.. I really don’t know what it is. Because I’m the same way with pets. I’m clearly in a too forgetful mode to really take care of them and too selfish. What else can explain my previous murderous rampages? I’ve neglected fish, rodents, used to keep my kitty stuck in my room with me through the night till he’d awaken me meowing and clawing at the door to go to the bathroom. He was actually my best alarm clock. Nothing else works now. Not including all the plants that have gone to the grave. Poor plants. Okay, I know this entry was too long about plants but damnit it’s my entry! And I write to understand and so maybe i’ll tire of writing about this and actually stop.

Well, Olive is getting really big. Since I don’t have my computer right now I can’t post any digital pictures so the old one will have to do. But, it’s stalks are healthy and long. I just added some more dirt I bought from Walmart ($3.50 a bag! Yes!) I think I might have to re-pot it soon too… Might be why it hasn’t gotten humongous. It’s roots are probably wanting to expand but the pot isn’t big enough. It’s been 1yr, 8 months, and 27 days since I first bought my Dracaena from Home Depot. It has been with me through every trial and tribulation, every boyfriend, and helped me get through every illness. Plants are good for you ya know. I never thought i’d be so attached and caring over a plant… but alas. I am. I wonder if plants have thoughts. Some unexplained soul energy like we do that makes our functions come together. Ahh, i’ll never know.

I’m sick right now, and yesterday I drank 1 GALLON of bottled water. Yes y’all I did it! But you know what… I don’t think I can keep it up. That is just WAAY too much water. I was running to the bathroom like every 30 minutes. And although it feels good to pee (yeah I said it!) I really don’t like having to rely on the toilet so often.

I just googled exactly how many ounces 1 gallon of water is… and it’s 128 ounces!! Oh my buhjeezus!!!
But that just goes to show you, that IT’S POSSIBLE to drink 64 ounces of water if I, lil’ ol’ me, can go through 128 ounces in a day. And it actually makes the goal of 50 ounces (according to The Chicago Tribune, to divide your weight by 2) for the recommended daily intake of water, a lot more reachable.
