My morning glories have suffered a lot of neglect this year. And since I forgot to mention that they would need regular watering to those who were housesitting, the blame falls upon my shoulders. That said, I noticed last night that one of the vines had a bud on it. This morning, I saw not one, but *two* opened blooms. Why am I making a big deal about this? This is the first time it has bloomed this year. So here's hoping that it continues for the rest of the summer and into autumn.

I didn't apply to anything yesterday. Whoops. I will have to make up for it today and apply to the three that I never got around to yesterday along with any I find of interest today. If I don't have any nibbles by the end of next week, I'm going to ship my resumé off to someone I know at Rogers. I really don't want to go back to being a phone monkey, but right now, getting back to earning a living is far more important than living on nothing. It's not a great plan, but it still beats going back to the Hell that Goes Up.

And another thing about yesterday...I managed to indulge my need for retail therapy and spend less than $10! At Valu Village (where I never find any clothes in my size), I found two t-shirts in near new condition in colours that I will actually wear. w00t!

My morning glories - even with regular watering and care has only had one flower - all summer. And I missed it. spender's morning glories have only had one or two blooms as well. I wonder if it's a bad year for them or something?

It could be *too* sunny for them, I guess. There hasn't been a lot of cloudy or rainy days this summer. You could try shading them or filtering the sunlight for part of the day and see what happens.

Yes, but your gerbera is still alive! *preen*

Umm...mostly. I think, somewhere in there, it got *overwatered*. It'll be awhile before it's healthy enough to bloom.

Hey, I never claimed it was blooming! I said it was still alive.

Which, considering it was houseplant + me, is nothing short of a miracle.

And **I** stuck to the watering schedule! The overwatering was not my fault!
