1/4 perlite makes for happy potted plants
Could go to 1/3
I don't really have the stuff to make my own, but I will do it next year. I think I've planted all I'm going to do for now.

I have a 4 ft by 4 ft garden bed that I have to move tomorrow and I am going to put more seeds in that. I have a ton of tomato plants that my friend gave me and I just have no room for them so I asked my parents if they wanted some 😂

I think this year more than ever, I am paying attention more to my gardening. Other years I really have let my gardens go because I'm always at swim meets or swim practices. Now there's none so I have tons of time. Or should I say thyme 😂😂😂

Hello all. My husband has cancer. He was diagnosed 2 yrs ago. He has had chemo, 35 radiation treatments and Ivor Lewis surgery. He was cancer free for 9 months. It has returned in one lymph node and is currently getting chemo. He was told on his fb by someone (who was complaining about not opening everything) that he is going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter. Basically, told to go and die. I also belong to a cancer group for his type of cancer. Many of those people were told the same thing by others since covid-19 has come out. He is devastated. I am in Mama Bear mode. You sure see the true nature of people during this virus outbreak. He had many people just break contact when he was first diagnosed, they don't know what to say or do. But this - is heartbreaking.

So sorry to hear this, on two accounts - that the cancer has returned, and that people are being so negative. Time to use the "block" feature on those people. People can really be afraid of saying the wrong thing, I discovered this when my niw XH went through treatment for leukemia many years ago. A simple "I'm thinking of yoy/ praying for you" goes a long way, or "how are you, wishing you well." Don't listen to the negatives. Enjoy each day. Hug each other, make him laugh every day. Blessings to you both!
 
Sigh, my husband thinks I am lazy but between depression, allergies, Lyme disease and obesity...I am just lucky to get up out of bed at all.
You!? Lazy!? That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard!!! You’re about the furthest thing from lazy I’ve seen!!! You’re always running around doing all sorts of projects despite all this!!! In fact, I somewhat envy your energy and strength! :hugs You push through it despite all the obstacles which I think is really great and brave. :hugs
 
Just got off my medication maybe a month or two ago because, I was taking it a very, very long time during which I outlived the dr. that prescribed it and his partner as well(both died from cancer -different types) :(

I was feeling as "normal" I guess as possible and doing okay. But this virus has changed things. I'm back to crying over everything. I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm angry with G-D for keeping me alive to continue being alone (never married or living with someone). Either he is making an exception of me because he doesn't care for my life choices, or adding years to my life as punishment.

The virus just enhances everything. I wonder if I will ever get to see my son 34 again. He had vacation plans for January(with his GF) but the virus caused it to be cancelled. He had told me in advance he wasn't coming out for my birthday(July) because - more travel plans. His GF wanted to sight see Chicago at night. As a former Chicago resident for 50 years I didn't think it was a safe destination and especially not at night.

He did not intend to introduce her to me - guess he is embarassed to have such an old mother (I was 38 when he was born). Also my home is nothing special and I am not financially able to keep it up in best shape/me neither.

My son and GF live near ground zero for the virus. So I have many added worries about their safe keeping. Was hoping I'd be a grandmother some day but, I don't think I'll be around that long. He said his girlfriend wanted a lot of kids because she was the ONLY child in her family. My son is also an ONLY.

Sorry for long and rambling thread but, it might be useful when I kick off and someone wants to write up an obit for me.Hope for a decent burial so animals won't be picking my bones.

* please realize many of my comments are due to the recurrence of depression - something I've had since early school years- but, didn't know it.
:hugs:hugs:hugs
God must still have something for you to do.
Not a lot of comfort but hugs
