The View From Here (in which some whining is heard)


It's been raining for two days straight, and I feel like I'm going to sink down into depression if it doesn't stop. The weather has that effect on me. It's a good thing I don't live in the Northwest or in England, or some other place where it rains or looks overcast all the time. This drives the Florida girl crazy.

At least the cabbage plants (on the far right) enjoy the rain. They have been growing steadily and forming nice, firm heads without any effort from me whatsoever. The mustard (in the foreground) have finally bolted so maybe next week I can collect seeds.

Mr. B has an earache, and now he's watching Race to Witch Mountain over and over. Ugh. There's only so much I can take of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, explosions, and so on.

I'm also pacing and then leaping to the phone every time it rings, in hopes that it's Clarion calling. Sigh. I said I wouldn't freak out this year, but as time passes, I've become more agitated.

lol I should call just to mess with you. ^_~ But being the benevolent evolved soul that I am, I shall spare you, XD LOL. Sorry B's come down with another malady, again hope he feels better soon.
And PS: I'm totally jealous of your garden, at least you're GROWING stuff ^^

I am soo soo jealous that you actually write. I never seem to keep the confidence necessary to actually finish a work. I was thinking of putting a short story on my blog based on an unfinished novel.

Not sure if that is wise though. I mean, if i do that would I ever have any motivation to finish? Also, fears of having work lifted and reposted dance around in my head because I have seen it happen to others.

Ya know I am just in a bad mood. I am gonna read Aika's mac and cheese adventure again!
