poor irises. on one side of the garden I had them on, half of them are orange with spots on the blades... looking sickly. pulled out the sick ones, am replanting them in a new location in hopes that they'll recover later (after cutting off the most infected parts).
there's like these centipede-looking things that really like iris tubers... and burrow in and turn them to this sickly orange-colored mush, killing my poor flowers.
back into consciously eating less. aiming for no more than 350 calories a meal (4x/day). not impossible, just more challenging with no decent food in the house and no money to get any ^^
also managed to squeeze in a 30-min workout at the Y before joining a community concert band (which I've always promised to join, but never had time until this summer). Tried this new machine that was really really really weird, but I eventually got the jist of it. It's like a stair-stepper, only more difficult, because it's possible to overstride (turning into an awkward run)... so your thighs have to work harder to make sure you're within acceptable bounds.
couldn't walk right (and going down stairs was a challenge haha) after I was done, then forgot about it until i went up to the bedroom tonight... IT BURNED.
guess it worked. :]
mom made homemade bread because we're fresh out and no one ever remembers to get any. not as good as I remember, but still pretty darn decent.
