The lid of my laundry machine fell shut on my thumb, which made me light-headed and nauseated. Followed by a headache. However, my thumb is bruised but nothing more serious. I’m left with things to do, no desire to do them, and wondering why I struggle to be resilient.
Just whhhyyyy.
Sorry, have to take a sick day today. I bruised my thumb. The swelling went down with some ice and nothing is damaged, but, ya know … gosh I feel so pathetic.
So …
I have a spider plant that’s probably around 10 years old now. For all that time it never did all that well, and stayed small until about September of last year. In addition to a major life change for me, I put my plant in a new pot, and my spider plant began thriving.
And last month we had a spiderette.
I decided to fix it to a new pot with a hair pin while still attached to my original spider plant, and waited for it to take root. Just like its parent, it has really taken off. Feels like it’s growing insanely fast.
I like to think of my life as being symbolically tied to this plant.
Even if a smashed thumb knocks me off my feet.
