I thought things would get easier with sunny weather but they’re still really hard. My mood is dipping really low and I’ve not been sleeping well. It’s bad.
I’m noticing the zucchini are wilting a bit in the heat. Makes sense. They’re growing fast but their roots aren’t reaching down to the bottom of the big pots yet, so they would be getting a bit dry.
I was thinking of some drip spikes or terracotta pots used as ollas but that requires ordering stuff. I don’t really want to get it delivered in case of theft and don’t want to pester someone to get it for me. I did see buried plastic bottles with pinpricks in them used for the purpose so I can make do with what I already have. It’ll also be a lot cheaper.

(The water bottles are for the high pain/fatigue days when I can barely get out of bed. I feel bad about it and never used to buy bottled water but right now am kind of just doing what I can to get by.)

I’ve fallen into so many bad habits because I just can’t physically do what I used to.
All I can do is justify it by reminding myself that I am still pretty frugal and have a low footprint in other ways

I know for me lack of sleep really ramps up the anxiety and turns it on to the maximum setting.
The only thing that’s helped me is to talk about my anxiety with someone (anyone). Usually that dials down the anxiety well enough to sleep which then allows me to cope better.
This is a cycle that gets repeated every so often.

Yeah, I’ve been staying up late in case Melbcat needs a top up on her meds while sick, but also things are in general just bad. A lot going on
