| 10.5.22 01:34 |  |  | In what is surely another metaphorical look at my current life, my formerly thriving aloe vera plant decided to react to my finally taking it back outside by leaping from its perch to the jagged cement below. I guess it was top-heavier than I expected after wintering on a table inside, which couldn't have been easy as that was my heaviest sumbitch of a pot. I transferred it to a plastic pot but the roots are once again in a comfortable place so I have hopes it will be as resilient as it's always been despite my nearly constant touch of death every year since I acquired it as a tiny pup from Ikea years ago. Needless to say I have an abundance of fresh aloe if you find you really need some right now - it IS sunburn season! - but much of what fell/broke off will be heading to the freezer in a day or two. THANKS WEATHER but really thanks Chris for being a real dumbass to the only plant you ever trusted yourself to take care of, you really sucked at THAT today. |
