April Playlist

March has lasted for seven years. I am ready to move on. Actually, I have moved on, but I wake up every day and it’s still here. Pretty rude.

I bought a sack of clematis roots from a big box store and then panicked, washed and planted them when I opened the bag to find each one covered in mould. I’ve been googling tips for pretending they’re indoor plants, hoping I haven’t doomed them by potting up so early. The Internet says it depends on what type of clematis they are, and so far here is what we know: the front label said “assorted” and had various purple and white blooms pictured while inside the sac the mouldiest one was in a pot with a tag that said “yellow” and the rest were just fuzzy roots in a pile of dirt. Well look at them now, bigboxstore. I should have just returned the bag.

In some ways I’m doing better than I ever have before. The rest is the same. Completely necessary unnecessary struggle.

My work hours/expectations are about to shift dramatically and I’m going to lose my weekends off. I hosted my last Crafternoon here yesterday and it was bittersweet.
