OMFG. Life has been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo shitty lately. Like I can barely function past hte depression. And thats KILLED my money at work, though I'm motivated to make it. I've been dying to get down to the farmers market to get some plants, since green things are an easy way of relaxing me. But i couldnt afford it.I was late on rent htis month.
Yesterday things just fucking CLICKED for me. I mean, i was ON at work. Got there early like always and on the rotation, and managed to catch the eye of a young contractor there. Only 80$ in dances, but a good hundred or so in stage tips alone from him. And of course, when you look popular, everythign else follows. THus i spend most of hte night in good company, getting tipped 20s onstage. And two of my better customers promised to come back tonight for me. So work was a BLAST! It was just SUCH a windfall.
And even though i have bills and such that NEED the money, I figure i need to take at least a little time to reward myself.
So i got those herbs! Chocolate mint, lemon verbena, purple sage, lemon thyme, rosemary, golden oregano, chives... Now all i need is another pot, basil, chamomile, and lavender. But i'll save those for another time.
I also got a lettuce planter---basically seven varieties of salad greens, so all i have to do is pick a few leaves off, and let it grow back. I don't harvest my veggies really severely.
Just got them settled on my balcony, there's dirt under my acrylics, and i cant stop crying. 35$ of plants, and i am at peace.
I did get some rheubarb too, just a pound... and i'm going to start a rheubarb mint jam to simmering. But HOLY fucking HELL i feel good!
