Day 252: A Good Day

Published on May 21, 2026 at 11:53 PM

Today was a really good day even though I thought that it wouldn't be.

Not that I normally start my day off with negativity, but I have been having a really hard time sleeping again. The more nights I get little to no sleep and poor sleep when I am able to sleep, I get more and more grumpy. To be fair, I'm sure most people would say the same thing. I just hate insomnia, it's so fucking annoying to be honest. Speaking of annoying things, I'm REALLY sick of this goddamned coughing and sickness that has been dragging on for what feels like FOREVER. 

But what was good was the outing with my family and my evening so far. 

We went out and my mom decided to get me my birthday present early and so we went to lowe's and I got a lemon tree! A pretty damn tall lemon tree too! I didn't know that lemon trees had large spikes on them either. So I stabbed myself in the shoulder and them slapped myself in the side of the head loading it into the car. Lmao. She also got me two large trellises so that I could drape that tulle over the top of it and hopefully that will help my plants thrive even more.

They have been doing great, but the heat and sunlight is a little too intense on them which is making some of them yellow and wither though they are still producing flowers and veggies. My first marigold has started to bloom! It's such a beautiful color and I can't wait until it's fully grown because it's going in my vase in my kitchen. And hopefully my butt head cat won't eat it. I'm so excited to get some lemons growing on my new little tree! Ah! I'm so excited about growing more things! 

I've decided to look into getting some certificates that will let me do counseling stuff or copywriting, or editing, you know some useful stuff like that that I could use for work. I've also been thinking a lot about going back to school and getting my college degree. I think that that would be good for me and good for my family as well. I would like for it to be art/writing but I could also just lean into the whole therapist thing and do that. I mean really it is what I should be doing. I'll see when it's time to do that.
