Feeling so off this week šš»āāļø…
Last week I was on fire but this one I feel just drained in every sense of the word. Physically, emotionally and spiritually exhausted š
š»āāļø.
Allās well in my personal life, so thereās nothing I can attribute it to there, but the Danforth shooting so close by + the impending full moon + longest lunar eclipse this century will see (plus a lot of stress leading up to the closing on our new home) Iām sure has gotten this sensitive empath feeling all the energy and emotions and just wanting to be horizontal.
I think Iām fighting something off too, because all my body wants to do is eat comforting foods and sleeps lots and nothing in my body feels right.
I took a personal day yesterday and did just that, but today Iām trudging through with the glorious vision of doing absolutely nothing later on tonight.
Hopefully in a few days Iāll feel back to my, still sensitive, but more peppy self.
How are you feeling this week?
IG: More blooms šøšøšø! This is the time of year when it seems thereās a new bloom every day. And since I grew them all from seed, I never know exactly what colour Iāll get… every time itās such a nice surprise! Today this deep bubblegum pink zinnia popped open in a planter I designed in the front yard and greeted me this morning. So beautiful āØ

IG: āØGARLIC And the harvest of the fall 2017 planted garlic is complete. Overall, it went better than I expected, considering I planted them in the nosebleed section of my garden (aka the bed that gets the least amount of light and water that nothing did well in last yearš¤Ø) and I didnāt feed them once. (I recently learned they are heavy feeders, oops š¬). It was my very first year growing garlic and though some of my bulbs are kinda dinky, Iād say overall it was a success. I grew 6 varieties of organic, beginner-friendly garlic and the two that thrived (based on biggest bulbs) were Ivan and Music. If you try growing garlic, Iād suggest starting with these! Now, these babies will hang in my kitchen area for about 3 weeks to cure so they can be stored for the upcoming months. ā¢ P.s. I expect 0 visits from vampires š§āāļø for the next 3 weeks. ā¢ Do you grow garlic?
