BLOG

first blog entry! niceee!!

 honestly, im mostly writing this to see how text formats on my blog page and to make changes where they're necessary... but now's as good a time as any to just puke some thoughts out into this webpage!

 it's been a big few months for me to say the very, very least. moved cross country, adjusted to cooking for two for most meals, got started on the process of getting my driver's license, and arguably the biggest of all, i landed a whole new job in a field that i never imagined i'd ever be getting into! somehow (thanks to the kindness of a friend), i became a gardener! before this job, the most ive ever nourished to life was an aloe plant my mom gave to me ages ago that was already doing well when i got my hands on it... i could forget to water that guy for weeks and he'd still be just fine by the time i noticed. now, im balancing pH levels, fertilizer, checking for pests, mildew, and yellowing, trimming back leaves, harvesting what's ready to be picked...

and that's just the first hour of my workday, usually...!!

 it's been a fun learning experience though, and feels plenty worthwhile. didnt get much sun working the coolers at my last job for ten hours a day... and now im aflush with vitamin d! it's cool getting to see everything grow, too. i find myself taken by the natural beauty around me throughout my entire workday, even when im head-first in the hydroponic tanks trying to keep frogs from making a home there... it's just incredible how GREEN everything is.
