TMI And Stuff
Mar. 3rd, 2025 07:58 pmI have a serious infection right now, and it's kind of TMI, so I don't want to talk about it much aside to say it hurts an unbearable amount and I'm on antibiotics for it, but I'm only three doses in so they haven't kicked in yet. The last couple days have been increasingly bad, but today I spent most of the day feeling woozy and shaky and nauseous. I don't have a fever, though. Not yet, at least.
Anyway.
Today I went to the Denturist because I literally have NO molars left in my entire upper jaw, and she told me that if ODSP approves my claim, they'll cover them, except for the co-pay... which is $500. Because I just have $500 to spare. The bottom line is that even if ODSP approves my claim I STILL can't afford the dentures I need. So, today's appointment was kind of pointless in the grand scheme of things. How can ODSP give me just $1200 a month to live off of and then expect me to pay $500 on dentures? I don't get it.
.....
Tonight I nearly killed Alpine. He could still die, it's kind of up in the air. Basically, I was swapping around some of my plants in the hangers over my bed so that the ones that can thrive in shade were in the shadier spots and the ones that need more light were in the sunnier ones, and in the process of pulling Alpine out of his hanger his vines got caught in the macrame. Then my arm dropped a little and he completely uprooted. OOPS.
So I rescued his vines from the hanger and took him downstairs and repotted him and now I'm just kind of *fingers crossed* that he pulls through. I mean, he's a philodendron and they can next thing to survive a nuclear apocalypse, so I figure my chances are good. And if he DOESN'T survive... well, he's just a cutting off Bucky, and I still have Bucky, so... *shrug*
I repotted Castiel and my unnamed catnip that may or may not survive today as well, and that went much more successfully than moving Alpine did. They're going to keep living on the shelves downstairs where there's lots of sunlight for a couple of days to give them the best start in their new pots and then they're coming upstairs. Castiel is going in the hanger with Charlie until he's bigger and then eventually he's going in the aquarium next to Dean. Naturally.
Jack is doing really well since I moved him to the windowsill, I think I mentioned that before, but his growth is somewhat hampered by how cold it is there right now. Come spring and he'll start growing like a weed, though, and then I can put him in a proper pot, instead of one of the little plastic containers I use to start plants.
I have four plant hangers across my window now (which is going to make putting my A/C unit in interesting in the summer) and all together they hold seven plants. I wish I could hang more but I'm sadly out of space. :|
Mom thinks my plant hanger situation is GREAT btw.
