Update of sorts.
Aug. 1st, 2004 04:38 pmI am orientated now. I am signed up for an intro programming class (in Java) and College Algebra (because it is a pre-req, not because I like math). I'm looking at a Computer Forensics degree. Looks nifty, and also looks like I can get into nifty legal discussions with people. I have my network id (and thus my email address) and my student id number, and my Java book, but I do not have my id card yet because the line was a zillion miles and about an hour long.
I have pinched back all the basil, and sprayed the various nibbled-on plants (mostly roses) with permethrin to kill whatever is nibbling on them. The Roma tomatoes and the container tomatoes have all sorts of little green tomatoes on them. Everything else just has flowers. There are two cucumbers, one on each vine, almost ready for picking. There are four adorable little carrots, two orange and two yellow. The third of the four bareroot roses is also flowering. Somehow I managed to get two different pink ones. I think the last one died, not sure how. I think it was eaten to death.
Today, something with rhubarb and something with plums. There might have to be something with mangoes, but we haven't eaten the mango daquiri sorbet yet so maybe the mangoes will wait a day or two.
We had rainstorms randomly all weekend. A nifty thing, except when one is driving into it, at night, after one's vision has been surgically corrected, and there are HAILSTONES coming at one extremely fast. Gah. Luckily I was on Crosstown, and stopped under an overpass (with about ten other cars doing the same thing) until the storm had gotten the whole hail thing out of its system. I *should* have waited about ten more minutes, but I wasn't that patient. And, of course, a minute or so after I got in the house, the worst was past. *sigh*
Does anyone want basil? I was a little overzealous with the lettuce-leaf basil, and it's extremely happy basil, so there's a lot. This is basil with leaves the size of my hand. Or at least mostly the size of my hand.
