Challenge brings Change

I got my financial aid approval email this morning. Ngl, the anxiety-riddled part of me was hoping it would be denied, so I could just be like, “Welp, at least I tried!” 🤣

A new month is a great time to start new habits, so for February I’m going to do the 30 Day Challenge, a No Buy month, read daily, and journal daily.

My monstera has been looking a bit worse for wear, I think I may have overwatered it as the leaves are going a bit brown but like, inside? So I let it dry right out before watering again, and gave it a bit less than I normally would. It also looks like there might be a few pests hanging out on it, but a soapy wash and daily inspections seem to be controlling whatever it is. Either way, it’s shooting out a new leaf, so whatever is going on can’t be that bad LOL

Every time I try and decide on a schedule for school, business stuff, cleaning, etc, I inevitably end up having flare days in the middle of what I’d hoped would be productive time. I think it might be best if I just aim to work as much as I can on good days, and hope for the best LOL

My top heavy, leaning aloe plant I was hoping would last til spring for repotting fell today and broke 3 leaves 😭 Forced me to repot it, even in a deeper pot it still was leaning so I had to use a skewer to support it til gardening supplies reappear here so I can get some bamboo poles. Apparently you can propogate the leaves, so I’m going to attempt that.
