Gifted a damn bloom Orchid Bullshit compared to Life

Hey Oh, Hello

this happened last night.

My 79 cent orchid from the Kingsoopers throwaway bin

 in which I have been nursing back to health for a year...

bloomed.

My takeaway?

Keep caring, loving and doing

it'll happen

consistant and persistant

bwahahaha

that's dumb, but you get the drift.

On that note, my damn foot is hurting again.

I am trying to start training for a race and boom

foot pain

It's killing me on the inside because running was my way of clearing my mind.

even if I wasn't going far, it was mind clearing.

I have ordered some new running shoes and will be getting rid of all my others and see if that is the issue 

including my work Danskos

I am also going to start 

Yoga with Adrienne online.

I've been told that stretching may help my feet

how the fuck that works, I don't know.

I should know, because I am a nurse and I did take many years of anatomy and physiology

but my heel baffles me.

so, on the advice of some non medical person via Tok Tok, 

I will Yoga.

hey at least I'm following Yoga advice and not Joe Rogan's

I'll shut up now.

listen....

that Orchid?

Don't be scared of Orchids.

here's what you do

Bring home, 

get some orchid bark.

dump all the dirt out that it came in but keep that weird little plastic pot.

Make sure there is plenty of drainage....I cut slits in the sides too

clean of the roots and clip the nasty roots 

you can google this on Youtube

then rinse the roots, put in pot and put those bark chips around.

I then run the water through the pot and let it drain.

after the water has drained put back in decrative pot.

I place in a north facing window

it's by my kitchen sink so maybe it gets some humidity, I don't fucking know.

But I watch its leaves,  too much water they get weird and wrinkly soft, too little water, the same way

but don't panic 

just water like once a month...

and change those wood chips 

2x a year. 

and I always say watch a You Tube about it

but don't give up.

well even if you do 

it's just a fucking Orchid.

you can get another.

I'm gonna go Yoga

maybe I need to keep track of my yoga 

be accountable

let me see how day one goes

xo
