I replanted my garden; basil, orange mint, sweet peas, elephant ears, creeping rosemary, bee balm, patchouli and pennyroyal. It is looking gorgeous again, maybe even better than before. One of my corn plants managed to survive and has grown about a foot! My favorite plant right now is the sweet pea I'm weaving into the front fence.

Recently I began drinking coffee again, a vice I warded off years ago. Caffeine and I have never really been great friends, coffee gives me anxiety and soda makes me fucking sick. But recently I kinda started experimenting with espresso drinks and to my surprise I've been getting a really great unanxious bust of energy that is perfect for work. But here I am on a Sunday, not at work, not really tired, craving coffee?

I am swamped with homework. I have three essays to write today and all I've come up with so far is about half a page of unorganized thoughts, due monday by 10 am. Midterms begin next week but I can't remember learning anything yet this semester. I can already tell it's going to be a long week.

My lost roll of film has been found and is being developed as we speak. I finally found somewhere to develop professional film in the city. I'll post them soon.

You should try Yerba Mate tea too, it has really hight caffeine content but it is apparently derived in a different way so you don't get the nasty side-effects you do with coffee. I drink loads of it at the moment and it really keeps me going when I have lots of study too. It's so nice with honey and soya milk. I was sorry to read about your garden, it's so great that nature can recover though. I love gardening too, I hope I can have a huge outdoor space one day.

Glad your garden is thriving again. At this point, coffee is one of my best friends. I'm glad you can enjoy it again.

i would love to see pictures of your garden!

we have a pretty big chunk of land next to our apartment but no entry, and we just recently decided on a big construction project to tear the entire wall down and put in sliding glass doors, and to fence in the land. i'm SO excited about it, my heart starts racing whenever i start thinking about it. i can't wait to get my hands dirty.
