I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis on 5/19/2021. I am taking over my own blog to start a journal of this new and scary journey. I want to use this platform to write about how I'm feeling, what I'm eating, how I'm sleeping, doctor's appointments, symptoms...fuss, gripe, whine. But, ultimately, I want to use this platform to share my journey as I get to know more about MS and push forward into tomorrow. Every single day.

I'm a bad person
I kill things.
Living things!
Green, living things.
Light and water loving things.
Hubby gave me a Shamrock plant for St. Patrick's day and I've had it on the shelf in my cube ever since then. I have been very proud of myself that I've been able to keep it alive and happy this long. Yesterday - the plant was a little droopy so I gave it some water. Not a lot, just a little - so it wouldn't get too drenched and drown. My thought was that once it was semi-happy again, I'd give it a bit more water and then it would be all-happy. Today, I came in and it was yellow, completely limp and lifeless and just dead.
I can't understand how in 24 hours it could do that - but it did. No amount of water or sunlight, or lack of water and sunlight, would have fixed the situation.
I'm sad.
It was given a proper burial - in the trash can.
I have shed tears.
I will miss my little Shamrock plant. May it rest in peace.
Amen.

Know wha-cha mean about that. It's hard to know what's wrong with plants sometimes - too much water and too little look about the same.
I would look into tougher plants or you could go w/ plastic. I like real ones myself but I have the problem of killing them.
Love ya, UB
