Are they regular purses, or made for plants? I think the one with the plants growing in them are hilarious!

Nope, those are plant pockets, made specifically for plants
They were really cute

A great idea! My apartment is unheated, so my plants are all telling me they want these to snuggle up in!

Unheated? How can you have an unheated apartment???
This is Canada, for god's sake!

What? This is Canada? I'm too cold to know where I am!

I use two small electric heaters and manage to keep the thermostat at 66-67 degrees (F) for my cats. That's what the thermostat says, but the closer you get to the windows and door, the colder it gets. Only the living room is usable in winter. Brrr! On top of that, I have to keep opening the windows and door to the outside to let cigarette smoke (not mine) escape, then heat the place up again. This may sound like an expensive and frustrating undertaking. It is. What I really find hard to bear here, though, is the 24-hour-a-day noise from spring through fall and the fact that we are regularly deprived of our apartments due to construction, flooding, etc. I have to begin giving my oldest cat subcutaneous fluids now due to her failing kidneys, and that simply doesn't go with homelessness. I feel most sorry for my pets.

I will note you hon, but don't have time right now. Gotta go to work.
I'll shoot for tonight.

I'm always glad to hear from you. No rush! I'm hanging in there. Are you gardening? It's a busy time of year, isn't it? I love the way the fall leaves smell.

Still trying to get a note off to you.
Gardening, yes, when the damn weather co-operates.
Right now I am way behind schedule. I should have had
at least 3 done for the winter last week.
I know what you mean about the smell. I'm a summer girl,
but I do enjoy the colours and smells of the fall

I'm way behind with the gardening too. It's enough to make me almost panic. I'm trying not to feel anxious or guilty, just to use my time wisely.

I have given up on catching up with any aspect of my life
And no point in feeling guilty about it either.

You're right. Guilt just gets us stuck and wastes time. I live far too much in my feelings and I notice how much they get in the way. Feelings are good and necessary, but once in a while I try to just turn them off for an afternoon or so. Then I can do things that seemed too overwhelming before.

I have days where I barely make it through because the feelings are so strong
I can't make myself function. I hate those days.

Sounds like most days for me. Not fun, I agree.

Chin up, eyes forward. From my ma she used to say that.
