Gardening
So, when I proved unable to save my chive plants I had an empty pot and an empty windowsill. My friend that I'd originally gotten the plants from had lost hers as well, though she said she had some seeds.

Moving Status Part 1
As of 6PM on Wednesday, I have 3 6 gallon plastic containers and 3 book boxes ready to go. The book boxes were already packed, the Plastic containers were opened, sorted, some stuff was thrown out (filling up about half of the 12 gallon trash can), and labelled with a list of their primary contents. My wine rack was denuded of wines and mead ( Read more... )
